How Dumb Are We?

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

I ask a question; “how dumb are we.” The “we” includes an uninformed and therefore ignorant electorate which decides who will represent the people in Washington.

Sitting on the right side of the aisle are the dumbest and most corrupt men and women in our nation’s history. It could be worse.

LATEST STUPIDITY FROM THE RIGHT

Recently New Jersey passed a very sensible law which could save thousands of lives.

Assault rifles have a single purpose: to kill a large number of humans in a few seconds. With gun violence escalating in the U.S., the New Jersey state legislature banned the sale of AR-15’s to regular citizens. A group of right-wing-leaning federal judges struck down the law. There are more mass shootings in America than days on the calendar, and apparently, that’s acceptable.

Real presidents attempt to inspire our nation’s citizens. Not the orange buffoon. On Thursday evening, Trump made a politically motivated speech in primetime. With absolutely no proof, making things up as he rambled on, he lied and claimed that there are 250K non-citizens registered to vote in four states. Can you say “dementia?” Even more ridiculous, his party and his supporters will protect his big lie.

The best for last. Our neighbor to the north, Canada, is experiencing about 800 forest fires. The winds are blowing the smoke into the northern parts of America. Chicago appears to have a heavy fog in the downtown area.

Republicans, who obviously have no idea how weather works, are demanding sanctions on Canada for the situation. Don’t feel bad, I couldn’t stop laughing when I read it myself.

THERE IS NO CURE FOR STUPID

Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Marsha Blackburn, and dozens of others who call themselves “Republicans,” are pitiful examples of what was once the Grand Old Party. They are too dumb to vote, and definitely a stain on our corrupt and incompetent federal government.

The important question is, “are you as dumb as they are?” Are you willing to waste your vote and give it to a man or a woman with an “R” next to his or her name?  Take a serious look at the current situation, and do the right thing for you and your family.
