I am truly bewildered by the fact that apparently intelligent people are supporting the stable genius and not seeing him for the unhinged lunatic which he obviously is. The GOP has become a cult in which its members have an altered sense of reality. Quite fascinating.
Apparently intelligent people can tell the difference between traits like:
1) Narcissism
2) Low levels of empathy
3) Lack of tact
4) Lack of knowledge/interest in technical (including medical) matters
from "unhinged lunacy". Instead they recognize these traits as characteristic flaws common to politicians and accomplished businessmen. If these were reasons not to vote for a politician, who would there be left to vote for?
Similarly, apparently intelligent people recognize traits like:
1) Inability to articulate unscripted thoughts,
2) Blind devotion to one's children, no matter what horrible things they have done,
3) Inability to backtrack on proven disastrous decisions due to petty pride, and
4) Inability to do what is best for Americans as a whole where that conflicts with personal ego
are likewise not indicative of "unhinged lunacy", especially in an 80 year old. Instead they reflect the cognitive degeneration that is common (while not universal) in 80 year olds.
Apparently intelligent people, if forced to choose, will choose the flawed personality over the medically incompetent every time.
