Should the United States have a standard Psychological Test

83. I think that was a reference to his voters. People see what they need to see.

You can't test the voters either. We count on there being more of us who want to do good things for us and have the knowledge to run a government, but there's a big old learning curve that says "for GOD'S sake, vote!"

I truly think people who voted for him saw what they needed to see, as do we all to some extent. But the one talent I am absolutely sure he has is the talent to latch onto a sucker, read him and manipulate him until he gets what he wants. We can be suckers too but he tapped into the fear and anger of people whose lives didn't turn out like they wanted and who desperately need to think it wasn't them. And in some ways it wasn't. Coal was awful and it's gone but those people had few other choices and were raising kids and living lives and trying to find meaning in that. They got snookered by a guy who's practically The Amazing Kreskin in his ability to watch for signs and read their desires from minute to minute. He just tells the lies that keeps them hooked until he's done with them. We're ALL getting screwed. They just haven't realized it yet. If they weren't such racists and misogynists and such I would feel bad for them. As it is I'm truing really hard to remember that they are who they are for a reason and hope for better for their generations.
