Making MAGA Men Mediocre

WHEN the ancient uneducated idiot called me an "educated idiot", he seemed to consider himself quite clever, intending his unintended compliment to be an insult. I laughed at the tired, hackneyed oxymoron from the MAGA mind of a moron. Did he think he invented the expression? Everyone who wears a MAGA baseball cap seems to consider itself a very stable genius, after the fashion of Trump, a moron, and they seem unaware that the term "very stable genius" is in itself something of an oxymoron. Stability tends to characterize mental mediocrity; genius, by its nature, is considerably more enlightened, energetic, at times volatile. Go ask Vincent Van Gogh. The minds which lie dormant beneath MAGA are consistently mundane, mediocre Make America great again? This creativity-free cliche belies an unawareness of America's existing greatness, and a lack of patriotism.A MAGA man's ideal of social protest is to refuse to stand when a progressive leads the recitation of the pledge of allegiance; again, a lack of patriotism. Demonstrating the idiocy of Trump supporters, many of whom are evangelical Christians, is too easy to be challenging. A high percentage f them do not believe in climate change or evolution, both of which are basic, long established science, and jaw dropingly obvious, and ambient. Instead, they believe in fantasy, in a cosmic creation by a petulant, sadistic, always angry and jealous anthropomorphic deity, whose imminent return they eagerly anticipate and await. Any day now he shall come swooping down from the sky in a fiery chariot, wielding a sword, angry as always. since he'l be travelling in a conveyance of ancient, primitive technology, the Lord had better go slow. To deny basic science in a world in which it surrounds us, as do Trump and many of h is supporters, is idiotic, and beyond. The idiocy extends to economics and politics. The United states is completely inundated with socialism, without which the country could not exist. Social Security, farm crop price supports, federal subsidies for various industries streets, highways pubic schools, are but a few of thousands of examples. And yet from the uninformed right wing we hear the tired refrain: "socialism has never worked anywhere its been tried." Right wing Trumpers are either ignorant, dishonest or, most likely, both. Six in ten evangelical Christians say that Donald Trump is a Christian, despite the president's lack of church attendance demonstrated unfamiliarity with the Bible, constant prevarication, and persistent lifelong pattern of abusing women and engaging in criminal behavior. Nearly seven in ten conservative Christians sty that Trump is basically honest, and amazingly, they say it with a straight face. This should not be surprising considering that the same people believe that God created the human species out of wet dirt in less than one day, that Donald Trump was elevated to the presidency by Jesus Christ rather than Russian operatives, and that on the day of the Lord's imminent return, it is they who shall be "raptured" into heaven as they say in their sex driven imagery, while the rest of us "unsaved" will be left behind on earth to clean up their mess.
