Taxing Stupidity

Taxing Stupidity

If you were asked to find 100 Trump voters in one place, where would you start looking? Try a casino.

Casinos are filled with people living on illusion. Each gambler is convinced they’re about to win, no matter how long the losing streak. Financial responsibility? Nowhere in sight. When the house takes their money—as it always does—they don’t even see it coming. Their minds are wired for self-deception. Sound familiar? It’s the Trump mindset in action.

Enter the “stupidity tax.” It’s simple: the more disconnected from reality you are, the more you pay. The worst cases are the folks feeding their Social Security checks into slot machines, hoping for salvation in flashing lights and electronic jingles.

Slot machines—loud, chaotic, and full of empty promises. Like Trump himself, they dazzle while draining you.

The whole setup is a perfect metaphor: while you're being fleeced, you're distracted by spectacle and noise. Flash, hype, and hollow rewards. Trumpism in a nutshell.
