Some conclusions following the state of the Union
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2026/02/some-conclusions-following-state-of.htmlI didn't watch it. The clips that have been played today have provided conformation to me that I made the right choice. A rambling, hour and fifty minute pointless and boring speech that means nothing except the man has lost his mind wasn't worth the waste of time it took to watch it.
But there are some conclusions that can be drawn after that absolute disaster.
If you did watch it, you have patience and endurance beyond human expectations. Most of Trump's speeches can be used for the purpose of torturing people and this was no exception.
If, today, you are still a Trump supporter, then you are an idiot. There's no getting around that, because he is an idiot which he made clear, and there you are.
Those who are still supporters of Trump are anti-American in every way. Consider yourselves lucky that this country is generous, kind, and at this particular point, doesn't really enforce laws like that, or you'd be headed to prison. It is impossible to support Trump and call yourself a patriot. That's not patriotism, that's stupidity.
The man is destroying the democratic republic established by the constitution. If you can't see that, then you are bottomlessly naive and hopelessly stupid.
