I thought she would be finished when she was going on about Jewish space lasers. But that is my fault for thinking they would get rid of their jester.
It’s at a point where I feel sorry for her but the real losers are those that vote for this moron
That would rule out voting for most Republicans, though. I think the Republican brand is all about not appearing smarter than anyone else - or, better yet, actually being quite stupid and not just having to play stupid - because being smart and knowing things is considered “elitist” by the con base.
They have subverted the definition of elitism to carve out exceptions for the actual elitists, to the point where donnie is considered (by them) to be for the little man, while simultaneously supposedly being a business magnate with billions to his name. Nothing elitist about having billions, and being given half a billion by your father, I guess.
LOL, that perfectly captures the BS talking point about having an “outsider” instead of an actual expert. I love it!
I often notice that people that clamor for term limits and for “outsiders” to run government are not pining for outsiders to pilot planes they are on, drill their teeth, fix their roofs, prepare their taxes, defend them in court, and so on.
Now there’s rage? The “jewish space lasers” wasn’t a problem??? Need to deport her ass to Russia where she belongs.
That should instantly disqualify her from holding office. You should have a basic understanding of American history in order to govern properly, and it’s obvious she doesn’t know shit about the history of this country despite arrogantly acting like she does.
I don’t think the barrier should be "do you know history trivia?’ but rather “can you read and understand a wikipedia article?”
Except that would immediately turn into Jim Crow era literacy tests and be used for evil. You’d want an electorate that cares and a press that asks revealing questions, though.
We’re not talking trivia here. You should know basic history of the country that you govern. If you don’t know that, make room for somebody that did pay basic attention in class. These are things that if you don’t know them, you can learn them by investing a few days to weeks at most.
I mean the Jim crow literacy test thing was used against voters. These are people that are supposed to govern. I kinda draw a distinction there.
Yes I do believe that voters and the press should be caring more and asking more revealing questions, but media literacy in this country is low, voter involvement is low, and our press is nothing more than arms of the ruling class so they rarely ever ask the necessary questions to allow voters to truly understand who’s on the ballot.

If we had any sort of “you must pass this test to be an elected official”, it would without a doubt be used against minorities.
I would love to have that kind of test, but I don’t know how to have one that wouldn’t be corrupted.
