I know how you feel.

We see that the 0bambots are just so totally snowed, and we’re standing back just not getting the fascination, because we see that the man, indeed,

REALLY ISN’T THAT SMART.

No amount of evidence or “I TOLD YOU SO”s is going to change their mind, at least that they’ll admit to you. Those who do snap out of their dream state are so embarrassed that they’ll keep publicly professing ‘bamma’s superiority in order to keep from admitting their own folly.

>> In an age when facts seem to carry less weight than the visions of brilliant and charismatic leaders

Unfortunately, people aren’t motivated by fact. Worse yet, many would rather be led by a charismatic despot than a honest pragmatist.
