Idiocracy

I’m getting really tired of my fellow citizens.  Letter after letter in the Morning Call decrying NFL players for protesting racism, and not one letter discussing the reason for the protests.

Letter after letter defending a song played at games and not one letter protesting the reduction of national monuments, the gutting of the EPA, the militarization of police, the failure to get help to Americans in Puerto Rico.

Letter after letter talking about the wealthy football players, and not one letter decrying a tax proposal that will benefit the top 1% and Trump’s family.

We seize on the least important issues.


If democracy is always an experiment, this experiment is rapidly failing.  I don’t know exactly how we got here, but rampant stupidity is becoming the norm, from the White House on down.

  1. You have to remember who put our so called leader in the White House. They lack the intellect to realize what is happening to them.
