COVID — half US population is so unobservant — that it thinks Trump is doing a good job

What'cha gonna do . . .

 

. . . when you are massively outnumbered by abysmally unperceptive people?

 

Here is a recent Gallup poll result:

 

 

Forty-nine percent of U.S. adults, up from 44% earlier this month, approve of the job Trump is doing as president.

Roughly half approval, yet . . .

 

In truth, the United States' preparation for — and response to — COVID-19 has been so startlingly inadequate, that it ranks us among the lower tiers of international governance.

 

Thousands of Americans are dying — and will continue to die — as a result of this callously imposed, Government-sponsored incompetence.

 

 

What is arguably astonishing is that

 

Probably half (or more) of those dying folk — and their families — will have been unaware of who executed them.

 

Even sheep perceive danger more alertly.

 

 

The moral? — When one is completely surrounded by obtusely self-destructive people, one invariably sinks with the ship that they populate

 

Historically speaking, the United States might as well have set up an officially sanctioned breeding program to produce evidence-ignoring dunderheads.

 

We have been impressively good at that.

 

"Yay" for us?
