There’s a lot of truth in what you said. Otoh, people do get older without getting wiser. Look at Bill and Hillary, for an example. (Though when people *do* live and learn, a powerful dynamic is at work. I wouldn’t want to try to put anything over on you any more than I’d want to try the same with Trump. I’m just not that fond of exploding cigars.)
On the other end of this equation are the smart, well educated, tech savvy younger types. I read their comments every day on The_Donald. Q doesn’t even have a handful of believers over there. They’ve seen through all his gimmicks and they have no time for John Edward style cold reading-mumbo jumbo. They kicked Q to the curb with extreme prejudice back in the second week of Nov.
There’s hope for this Republic yet.
I agree with much of what you say, but might argue that Bill and Hillary ARE reasonably wise.
America’s problem is, they are reasonably wide totally immoral crooks.

They are both Wise.... and Wide
