These are all things I knew but you’ve put them together and given context.

Amazing essay.

I am still asking the same question as your friend though.

How could they be so fucking stupid?

Seriously!!! I lived in NYC in 47’s heyday. He was a buffoon even back in 1979 when I moved there. No one I knew, literally no one, thought of him as anything but a grifter and a serial womanizer. He couldn’t have been elected mayor if he wanted to. No one was interested in him for anything other than the occasional ridiculous headline.

They elected him president!!! How are they so f-ing stupid?

How is it that they can’t see through the constant lies?
