As we survey the political landscape today, it is hard to escape the conclusion that a plague of mental catalepsy has swept the globe. One recalls the old multi-attributed adage: whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. Clearly, being rendered stupid would be just as effective.
In essence, we note there are two large demographic bodies that resemble one another in the extent of their cognitive impairment: brain-dead politicians and brain-dead electorates. They are not necessarily coterminous. In some nations, one predominates; in others, another. Sometimes the two dispensations are found in sync.
In European nations such as the U.K., Ireland, France, Germany, and Romania, and of course in the higher echelons of the EU itself, the political class is plainly suffering from an access of both mental impairment and historical ignorance, receding into the very totalitarian past they were reconstructed to avert, imposing court-ordered repressive measures against public expression, imprisoning dissident individuals, and banning popular rival parties poised to triumph at the polls. The electorates themselves are generally in revolt, joining the surge of populist resentment and political protest.
In the U.S., the situation is somewhat more complex. The MAGA/Republican leadership and its loyal supporters enjoy a visionary lien on a productive and unfettered future, but nearly half the citizenry and its political representatives are firmly embedded in the dark ages of political evolution. The former are, for the most part, sane, intelligent and fundamentally decent; the latter are effectively brain-dead, which is to say, short-sighted, naïve and, frankly, incapable of reasoned judgment. And like their leaders, they are often prone to violence in word or deed. One might say that America is basically two countries, or rather, a cleanly bifurcate nation.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
I don’t know, I don’t visit Canada, but from what I see, I’d say yes.
The author should realize that Canadians ask the same question about us.
Eh?
Canada is dead to me. It should be split apart by America and the best parts should be annexed. Canadian provinces that we take should remain territories for 30 years until enough Americans immigrate there to swamp the Marxist natives.
All you have to do down-east is denounce the US and you’re going to get elected.
Eastern Canadians still have a lot of the British loyalists amongst their population.
They may not be brain dead but they are certainly stuck on stupid.
Interesting. Most of them live within 100 miles of the border.
**Canada is dead to me. It should be split apart by America and the best parts should be annexed.**
The way to do it is for Trump to call for an independent Quebec. Trump is a disturber of the excrement.
Patiently waiting.
“Interesting. Most of them live within 100 miles of the border.”
Proof that Canadians are suicidally stupid. Almost all live within 100 miles of the US border because almost all of their country is too cold. They are actively destroying themselves to make it colder.
Bunch of hosers.
Promoting Quebec Independence is certainly a higher level chess move.
With all their beady little eyes
And flapping heads so full of lies
Why not write so more people are concerned about the message instead of tripping over the words?
Well, Ontario assuredly. Ottawa, too. The rest simply appears to be too cowed to do anything to protect their humanity.
I’d say they’re both braindead and stupid.
If ever there were a country that should welcome global warming, it is Canada. Yet even they are ready to sacrifice what remains of their economy to Gaia. Amazing.
Alberta should secede and apply for statehood. Alberta has lots of oil and could be very prosperous if they were not shackled to Gaia worshiping policies against oil extraction and also forced to hand over a lot of money to Ottawa to pay for all the socialism.
We have many Canadian snowbirds here. They hate Trump more than the commies.
**Promoting Quebec Independence is certainly a higher level chess move.**
There’s more to it. A simultaneous call for Puerto Rican independence. Then a worldwide call for self determination based on ethnic and cultural issues. Freedom rather than human rights. Jimmy Carter took the arrows for doing the right thing but freedom was nonexistent in most of the world back then.
The folks in Cuba will hear it just like the East Berliners did when those loud rock concerts were going on next door around ‘88.
Yes. Next question?
Definitely hosers.
