It seems that 47.8 per cent of Americans approve of Mr Trump releasing fascist murderers who storm government buildings and misogynistic rapists who traffic sex workers, the destruction of national parks, giving trillions to billionaires, the sacking of scientists, removal of all environmental monitoring and pollution safeguards, the avoidance of democratic process by using executive orders and the reward for Russia in its invasion of Ukraine, bombing of hospitals and schools, kidnapping of children and torture and slaughter of civilians. They prefer conspiracy theories and lies rather than science and truth. They like tariffs on friends, trade wars and betrayals. They prefer oil and outdated polluting industries to 21st century renewables (losing sight of the future and heading for the past). They are OK with dumping allies, bullying friends and supporting communist dictators.
I don’t know about Make America Great Again – it’s more like Make Trump Insanely Rich and make America incredibly Selfish and Greedy.
America seems to be turning into an untrustworthy totalitarian regime without any moral scruples. Money talks. People are there to exploit. Everything is propaganda, lies and fake news. The rich get richer and the poor go to the wall.
Morality?? There isn’t any! They are OK with a criminal rapist as a President; a man who routinely lies and sides with despotic enemies like Putin and Yung Un.
Ignorance?? It abounds. Defund schools, control the media, shut down science and no longer monitor anything. What they don’t know can be lied about. If it means a few billion more into the Trump and Musk coffers who cares about the cost?
That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise.

What you don’t get, Trump supporters, is that our succumbing to frustration and shaking our heads, thinking of you as stupid, may very well be wrong and unhelpful, but it’s also…hear me…charitable.
Because if you’re NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are less flattering.

Scratch the surface and the sweet Apple Pie crumbles into greed and corruption.
Jesus commanded to look after the poor and warned about the rich not getting into heaven but that cuts no ice. The wealthy evangelists and senators live in luxury while the poor are destitute and live under flyovers and on streets.
They choose a leader who is a criminal rapist who uses religion to gain power and make money. Religious leaders make themselves obscenely rich and prey on children instead of praying.
Morality is dead. Judge a tree by its fruit.
Hypocrisy rules.
Billionaires pull the strings. Greed is the mantra. Religion is greed.
Casting aside all morality they elected a convicted rapist criminal, sold their women, and put a racist misogynist into the Whitehouse, all for a few measly dollars.
Imposition. Under the banner of liberty there is a need to impose views on to other people – whether that is religion or politics, appearance or lifestyle, sexuality or morality. It is no longer OK to allow others to live how they want; they have to obey the rules.
