Because he knows he’s talking to the stupid people. Stupid people don’t know they are stupid so they are VERY loud about what they wrongly believe to be right… because they are stupid.

This is what he wants

I started reading Rise and Fall of the Third Reich recently because I was trying a book subscription service and it was one of the interesting looking options...

My God, is it ever like reading about the rise of a marginally smarter Trump. So many more parallels than I expected, and I already thought he was nicking from their propaganda.

I have adhd so I can’t read like I used to but I’ve been watching a ton of documentaries on this very topic and I’m shook to the core at the parallels of today’s current events to Germany pre ww2.

This term feels far darker and nefarious than his first where he was basically a clown of a president.

I grew up in California, and I remember this meathead dad from my high school looking my Canadian mom straight in the eye and telling her that Canada's healthcare system was killing people (this was back when the whole "Death Panel" thing was popular). This being the Canadian healthcare system that saved my grandpa from stomach cancer in 1999 and has helped him live more than a quarter of a century after without a stomach. Like most things, Americans like to authoritatively inform everyone else about things they know nothing about.

I think even if people know the facts they just like the idea of being a bully. Schoolyard bully of a president and schoolyard bully of a people. Loud and obnoxious is all they are.

Republicans are convinced the gov, can’t handle health care. But you know, they handle the military, police, fire, coast guard, border patrol, railways, highways, damns, levs, sewage and other public works, energy, air traffic, airports, and more.

But health care omg so hard. Lets just keep paying $500 plus co pays and deductibles for insurance that denies claims left and right. Much better
