The thing I don't get is the smart people who've gone along with Trump. Dumb people are dumb; that's why we call them dumb. But why would someone literate enough to have read the Constitution--someone who has publicly sworn,
"I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" conclude that following Trump--not the Constitution of the United States of America--is a good idea?
There are people who are just too stupid to grasp how lucky they are to have been born in the United States and governed by that Constitution. I get that. And there are sociopaths and losers who feel the US hasn't done right by them--I get that, too.
I do *not* get "men who have had glorious lives because of the good fortune they've had in being born in the United States" turning on their own country for ... what, the lulz? Out of personal ambition?
They're too smart not to know where that will end up. They're too smart not to be aware that history won't look kindly on the men who tried to destroy the most successful and enduring experiment in self-governance the world has seen. Especially if they've succeeded.
And we won't know, for quite some time, whether they've succeeded. But we sure know they tried. Why would someone like Ted Cruz hate the United States that much? It's given him *everything.* He owes *everything* to the country he tried to destroy.
I get people who say, "I don't think I'm getting my money's worth. I'm going to cheat on my taxes." It's wrong, but comprehensible.
Trying to actually destroy your own country? Especially one like the United States of America?
Why would someone think that's a good idea?
