4. Trump's uneducated base: some folks have to learn the hard way
Wed Apr 15, 2026, 08:23 AM

I watched the 2016 and 2024 elections with shock and incredulity as tens of millions of voters turned out to vote for Orange Julius. Reason failed. Arguments failed. Appeals to their better angels failed.

They went out and voted for him regardless.

I think almost all of us good guys knew what would eventually happen: Donald John would betray them just as he betrayed many, many other non-billionaires over the years while he was in and out of politics.

Sometimes some people have to pet the rattlesnake, roll around in the poison ivy and dance around on frayed, soaking electric wires before they wise up—if they survive the experience.
