Whenever I watch one of Trump’s rallies, which is never for very long but I do have this sort of morbid curiosity to take a peek, I entertain myself by focusing on one or two faces in the crowd behind him. I watch their expressions and how they react to his bloviations, and the game that I play is I try to estimate their IQ.
I have no way of confirming how accurate my estimates are, but I’m pretty good at judging the intelligence of a dog after a short observation of his appearance and behaviours, so I should probably be able to guesstimate the IQ of a Trump-rally-attender reasonably well. I suppose there may be some bias creeping in, but let me say that my estimates so far are not flattering for the Trump-rally-attending demographic.
No, a Republican would eat the toast one slice at a time making, “Nom, nom,” sounds while everyone else looks on hungrily because they didn’t bring their own toaster.
Seriously: this had to be a major blow to Donald’s ego. Major.
Back at his resort, his handlers will probably have to pay the people who applaud Trump’s every appearance double the usual rate. He is going to need that applause!
While I remain glad that Donald’s influence is (apparently) waning, I am NOT glad that the MAGA cult is dug in on being aggressively stupid about vaccines.
I am not glad at all. Because those morons are incubators for new virus variants.
