You can’t argue with Trumpers, when they don’t know what is being discussed.

When people create excuses for other peoples bad behavior, when they justify the deaths of thousands and thousands of people in the name of ideology, then you have no choice but to get ready for the inexcusable and senseless suffering that will come. The actions taken by Trump and his administration will affect the poorest of people of this country for the next millennium.

If people refuse to acknowledge his contradictions, his poor excuses, but especially his overt and his blatantly obvious treason, then they are in denial.

Trump, Qanon, and his administration have created the perfect storm, and we are at a precipice (once again) to make the decision about who we are, as individuals.

It less about who voted for who, and more about what you are trying to communicate with your votes.

Trump awoke, irritated, enflamed tyranny, fascism, and non-compassion. We are watching people we know who have been lulled into submission through propaganda, violence, and a false pretense of liberty. Their own children are sacrificed on an alter that is named “The Dunning-Kruger Effect.”

The Dunning — Kruger effect is a hypothetical cognitive bias stating that people with low ability at a task overestimate their own ability, and that people with high ability at a task underestimate their own ability.

We need to give it a name and stop pretending.
