(#5958) How I deal with trump

      I haver a couple of unbreakable rules concerning trump. I won't watch him or listen to him. I have done those things in the far past and have learned that he is an idiot. Another thing about him is that he doesn't care to learn so knowing that makes not listening to him now even more intelligent. I also know his heart, or truly in his case the lack thereof. For if he did have a heart he would feel the pain he has wreaked upon countless millions in his lifetime. He is an abomination to the idea of good. What we are witnessing with our American society is a fundamental breakdown in the concepts of integrity, honesty, ethics, responsibility, and learning.
     I went into work this morning earlier than I had planned thus this late blog post. What I was thinking about during my routine of driving was the breakdown in responsibility and knowledge. It is a cancerous outcome we have left our children to be burdened with. Not only burdened but they don't even know they don't know. We have created a more zombie like generation that has lost touch with facts and reality because they can so often escape into fantasy without caution. They will find that the solutions to problems that arise on their watch will be foreign to them as they do not use critical thinking in a complex world as a survival instinct.
     Anyway, back to how I deal with trump is to get my news about him through critical lenses that do not favor his absurdities. I already know he cannot brighten our lives with progress in human ways so what he does is try to hide his conman agenda. He wraps it up in patriotism and heritage all the while segregating and dismissing too many into realms of utter despair. His time in office has already dwindled by over 3 months and that is a silver lining. We have made it well past his first 100 days and we see some hope in our government to sustain our democracy. His ineptness coupled with his audacity has slowed his march to tyranny. If his incompetent path continues we may just survive his and his followers and overcome the greatest threat to our democracy since the American Civil War!
