Perfect political description of a political zombie!
State dependent, mind-controlled robots, unable to stand on the two feet that God gave them.
The voting public, nonetheless, is told that the only reason they don’t support all of this is that they aren’t smart enough, or aren’t trying hard enough – and that may actually be the unique genius of the American electorate.
I sure hope it turns out to be true.
