Add to that American anti-intellectualism and the rising tide of authoritarianism the world over. Trump is just the beginning.

How we as a country could elect a B-grade movie actor to the highest office in the land is beyond comprehension. <br /><br />This morning in a supermarket parking lot I saw a bumper sticker with a picture of Obama and Hillary Clinton with the caption, "Stop electing idiots." The man who got out of the car was a sniveling little oldster, probably in his late 70s, wearing black shorts and a pink tee shirt: Which is OK, but he's typical of the people that live in my town. We are besotted with morons! <br /><br />And that was the final confirmation of my fears that like Germany in the 30s, it could and very possibly, will happen here!Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546852745854877350.post-21870564680968946342016-03-25T10:11:09.918-04:002016-03-25T10:11:09.918-04:00Reagan and intellectual depth?

I never understood how he could so easily pull the wool over people's eyes. Just because he was a former movie star? And liked jelly beans?
