That said, I am still utterly stunned that the fucking IDIOTS in this country were SO FUCKING STUPID as to elect an amoral, ignorant clown as President. I'm in utter amazement that a device as absurdly stupid as the leaf blower managed to become a mass-produced item that people accept as part of our world. So maybe I'm not so good for predicting reality.
I was just telling a friend a few days ago that I can't believe Trump is still president. And, you know, it's been 3 years since he announced his bid for the presidency. Three years of this grifting clown having a national platform for his craziness.
Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? Who knows. If there is a light, it could also be a train coming.

We can only hope that this is an anomaly. It is still very depressing to think that people in a supposedly educated society could be so incredibly ignorant. It blows a hole in my (admitted) faith in the principles of Secular Humanism. I thought we were better than this. Obviously, I was wrong.
Maybe I should better describe myself as a Trans-Humanist. This is the belief that the better of us humans will direct our own evolution through technology. We will better ourselves because obviously, we need bettering. A society that elects Trump as anything more than a Mosquito-control officer is obviously on the wrong path. We need to better ourselves or we deserve extinction.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
