Who In Their Right Mind...?

CLR Show 1962. Air Date September 3, 2024. The question must be asked: Knowing nothing more than Donald's (dis)qualifications for elected office––a convicted felon, insurrectionist, sex offender, congenital liar, etc.––who in their right mind would want him as president of the United States or in any other position of leadership? The answer, when all other possibilities have been eliminated, is people who have an emotional bond with Donald that supersedes their capacity to make rational decisions. Donald is the sublimated image of the 'unfairness' that pervades their lives, and the sole mechanism for making all things fair. His base has been driven to this unlikely emotional state by a constant repetition of lies and false promises directed to their basest fears. This tactic has worked to bring down functional democracies in the past. But it will not work this time. The vast majority of Americans are on to Donald.
