Consistently, and even as recently as the State of the Union address, President Donald Trump has not minced words when speaking about issues that are obviously dangerous and destructive to America.
How, then, is it possible that, with so many outlandish, persistent issues, ordinary folks seem to be missing the blatantly obvious? For example, why do everyday Americans listen to the twisted “logic” of the Woke mindset and not say, “What?! That doesn’t make sense?!”
Think about the waywardness of woke thinking when it comes to addressing three extremely simple, straightforward ideas President Trump posited:
1. “There are two sexes.”
2. “Men masquerading as women do not belong in women’s sports.”
3. “The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”
To an overwhelming majority of people, these questions are answered simply: Yes.
And even if we currently live in a world that pressures people to question these very questions, once brought out into the light of a public forum, should we not expect that any observer would exclaim, “Of course! I see that! In fact, I knew that all along!”
When using a rational mind, people store away what they have seen or heard so that when the same or similar experience presents itself, they can deal with the new event, evidence, or fact rationally. At least, that’s the way learning is supposed to work—and is even designed to work.
Can an irrational thought process, then, help to explain how a person can see something that’s plain as day, but not interpret it correctly? And can that way of thinking sometimes be due to “mass psychosis,” in which, according to one definition, there is “a collective behavior where a large group of people loses touch with reality”?

People don’t like to be exposed as wrong. And the more wrong they know themselves to be, the worse their outrage at being exposed.
Ironically, people will happily continue in their state of wrongness, despite proofs against their illogical stances and opportunities to simply change their own minds, until they are exposed.
LOL! “People” s/b “some people.” Not everybody is that way. A lot of ‘em seem to be! 😄
Could it be Satan?
You labor under the false assumption that academia imparts knowledge.
Don’t blame voters.
Blame the Republican wing of the uniparty.
Trump WON the popular vote in 2024 by stating the OBVIOUS.
He nailed Komrade Kammy on her transgender position and kept hammering and hammering.
Republican clowns running down ballot don’t have the balls to call out the opponent they’re running against by stating the OBVIOUS.
How many down ballot Democrats got away with not revealing their position on men pretending to be girls and participating against girls while sharing the same dressing room with girls?
Folk can spin it how they like, but it is POLITICAL MALPRACTICE for the Republican uniparty leadership in the Senate NOT to call for a vote for a vote on the House passed ID bill.
Trump is an alpha and the Republican wing of the uniparty is NOT alpha and has not been since Reagan.
The 14th Amendment’s “under the jurisdiction thereof” pretty much clears it up.
Unfortunately, I have no confidence in Chief Justice John Roberts, who pretty much singlehandedly decided paying an insurance premium constituted a tax, notwithstanding that the Obamacare proponents for passage of that act specifically said it was *not a tax.*
I don't think so. I taught university-level econ at several schools and never deviated from a Friedman-esk approach to a free market economy. True, I ate lunch alone quite often, but I think I held my own on a free market approach to economics. To paint all academic institutions with such a broad brush is both simplistic and misleading. Hillsdale is a well-known example, as are Grove City College, Patrick Henry College, and Bob Jones University. There are many others, too.
Thank you for the challenge to clarify my unclear statement.statement. It needs further thought.
Bump for later
