It recently occurred to me since becoming a brutally honest political pundit, carelessly expressing my raunchy, even sadistic-at-times political opinions, a revelatory disclaimer should be presented. I’m not a Democrat – never was.
I’ve been a staunch conservative all my voting life. Not because I personally held any beliefs or motivation in that direction, but only because that is what influences in my life led me to think was a favorable political position, generally speaking. Never voted for issues or people, just along party lines, when I did vote. I voted for Trump. My calculus was simple, in the last, best example of not doing my homework: Not a politician – check. Not Hillary – check. Done deal.
Why should I spend alot of time on that crap? Until recently, politics to me was just the elite fighting over money, nothing for me to worry about. Maybe I was too busy to really pay any attention until after I retired. It was like a double-whammy. Suddenly I had the time to follow all this disturbing politics bullshit I was hearing. Talk about cognitive dissonance! The useful idiot I expected to keep a lid on things by inaction, incompetence and generally non-governing, turns out to be a treasonous criminal. And those expected results from things not getting done? Wow. Just wow.
I’m certainly not a Republican now, either. The difference between smart and dumb people isn’t that smart people don’t make mistakes. They just don’t keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
