In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king...

…And we live in nations full of people blind to reason because of irrational fear and hatred towards other… Trump and Johnson alongside their sycophants and enablers deftly exploit the dumb, unsophisticated and ill-informed who think they know it all but have no ability to perspective take and, neither do they wish to try. These supposed leaders of ours, know very little of any relevance other than how to exploit the prejudices and worst aspects of these people – blinding them to right... This is how the fuckers got into power and exploiting these people that are blind to reason may well keep them there… *GULP*

many cases it only surfaces in unguarded statements. The ignorance in otherwise outwardly well balanced people has always been puzzling as they consider themselves well informed. Then you realize the source of all that hatred is talk radio, Fox News and the Republican Party. That is a very powerful combination that has to be discussed and combated if we are to stop and reverse the decay.
