I imagine that watching our liberal press reports would give you that impression. Unless you knew Trump for the last 30 years, this false charicature the media has dreamed up and massaged would appear real. But we know what he was like before he entered politics. You probably don't.------------------------------------------------- take my reasoning and advice that i gave Wrycatcher in post 118 to heart and be governed accordingly DLady !!No, to places others don't want to be.
Political-Correctness specializes in squashing individual thought processes.
Political correctness used to be called "good manners" - being polite and making strangers feel comfortable, was considered to be a sign of respect. Good manners was a sign of "good breeding" and considered to be of such importance that the children of the wealthy were sent to "finishing schools" to learn them.
These days, "good manners" are so difficult for some because they don't respect themselves much less other people. They want their "inferiors" to know they're inferior so that attack the weak and the vulnerable. That's not a sign of strength, that's betraying your weakness.
Conservatives are weak, frightened, and easily lead. And to protect themselves from their unrealistic fears and insecurities, they've elected a bullying conman, who considers attacking his inferiors his modus operendi.
Things are going to get uglier by the day.
H.L. Mencken said it best:
No one in this world, so far as I know – and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me – has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby. Because the plain people are able to speak and understand, and even in many cases, to read and write, it is assumed that they have ideas in their heads. This assumption is folly. They dislike ideas for ideas make them uncomfortable. The tabloids seeking to force such things upon them, will inevitably alarm them and lose their trade.
I will never be governed by Trump. I'm a Canadian living in Canada. Like most people in the world, I'm watching you idiots celebrating your election of Putin's Puppet with a mixture of incredulity and and surprise. I'm surprised because I gave you people credit for being smart enough to see through this conman. I should have believed Mencken.
