At ten the Donut club will meet. The people with functioning brains will meet at Democratic headquarters, sit in a circle, and let the thoughts fly. Two Republicans who had no use for Trump showed up last week, a victory. The format has become everyone sitting in a circle and each person gets a turn to talk. Of course people break in to say something, but it works.
A Tea Party meeting is far different. One person stands on stage and tells lies, or scary stories. People get to make comments about the nonsense, but usually it is just frosting on an idiotic scary story.
Communication is going to be the key to our survival. Trump is harvesting idiots. If we do not get a crop of intelligent people we are doomed. The knowledge base of our country has plummeted. The number of dolts and dingers is dangerous. A fact that explains this is education. The United States now ranks 28th in the world, China is first. That says it all.
Tribalism is the problem. Worst of all tribes is the Trump cult. Then you have the white supremacist.
Yesterday when Kadizzle met the Trump woman she gave him a business card. Apparently she is a practitioner of something called "Reiki". This morning Kadizzle checked to see what Reiki is. It appears to be some sort of oriental energy manipulation nonsense, exactly the kind of unproven goofy thing a Trumper would believe in. A strange note in the site that promoted it, " It is very hard to prove it works". The strange thing is a Trumper is sure vaccines don't work, but quickly adapts to Reiki. The mind of a cult member is something to behold. Believing in nonsense is so easy and so much fun.
