The mostly White suburban and exurban voters who cheer Donald Trump at his increasingly vicious and unhinged MAGA rallies (which is saying something as the bar was already excruciatingly low) still view themselves as the ‘good guys’.
Fascinated with your ability to string words together with such impact. The gallows reference is my favorite and will be shared with others. You rock. Thanks.
What can I say more than "thank you" for another brilliant summary of our collective problem that seems to have no answer: how to vaccinate the uneducated (and some educated for sure) to be immune to, as Dr. Bandy Lee calls it the "Trump contagion". I saw a good segment on "Sunday Morning" yesterday that featured how Finland deals with that problem: they teach 'critical thinking" in every class, starting in kindergarden. Unfortunately, I'm afraid we don't have the time before climate change takes care of us...and I'm sure the teachers here wouldn't be allowed to do that anyway-schools would lose their funding😔.
Trump is a contagious disease that keeps re-infecting its vulnerable and largely uneducated victims. The cure is not just getting rid of Trump, but the long process it will take to reverse educate our compromised electorate. That will take generations.
Been reading your wonderful Substack and finally got off my butt and just became a paid subscriber because your voice needs to rewarded. Thank you so much!
Excellent summation, Noel. It is an age-old dilemma: how to get the tragically misguided to realize they are misguided. Nowhere has this been as egregious as here and now with the MAGA phenomenon.
I have read this four times and am

"Generations" we most likely wont have....😔
As always, you write with your heart and soul and love for your country. The coolest dude in Substack! IMHO.
