If I were a politician in a red flyover state trying to get re-elected my
statement would not be helpful but fortunately I am not in that line of
work and thus am not required to, as St. Paul said in  2 Corinthians 11:19:

"*Suffer fools gladly*"

I don't often quote Jesus but I will this time, it's from John 8:32:

*“the truth will set you free”*

And the truth is creationists ARE stupid, and  anti-vaxxers ARE evil, and
Trump voters ARE hypocritical, and native Hawaiian protestors who are
illegally blocking the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope ARE
imbeciles.

I'm more kind than the Alabama voters who came within a hair's breadth of
putting a child molester in the US Senate in 2018 and may actually do so in
2020, and all because the man had a (R) next to his name on the ballot and
not a (D).

Creationists think the universe started on October 23 4004 BC at 9 AM. I
think the universe started just a bit before that. Which one of us is more
sane?

I've said more than once that we may indeed be heading for a civil war but
it won't be caused by a right wing snowflake being offended by my post, it
will be caused by Trump loosing the 2020 election but refusing to give up
power when his term ends. That's why the "LOCK HER UP" chants that you
still hear at Trump's Nuremberg type rallies scare me so much.
