.”Colin, you are not going to believe this but the media is questioning if Donald Trump knows what he is doing?” Michael Che on Trump recognizing Taiwan which may start a war war with China before he even begins the trade war with the biggest market in the world.
But you see? This is all so simple. Taiwan is a good capitalist system like ours while China is a bad communist system unlike ours. So the gut answer is to side with a tiny island in the South China Sea and give the finger to the second most powerful country in the world. What could go wrong? It’s not about what we know, it’s about how we feel.
Thinking things out is not how the country works anymore. Fake news is not fake news if one chooses to believe it is real. Elections are no longer decided on facts or data or god forbid “studies” or even reality but on intestinal gas and resentment for anyone smarter, better educated, more successful and better looking than you are. And of course who do not wake up each morning with the smell of manure in the air.
It has now been proven that breathing manure in the air causes a 10 point drop in IQs every year. Really, it’s what I believe so it’s true.
