ironic or expected?

The USA, the world dominant nation after WWII, up to the present,( but likely not much longer), now has the stupidest world leader. I first saw some of the video, but then came across the article, which adds another dimension, to the thesis.**

and
** (I wouldn't go far as to call Biden decent...but the rest seems on target.)

Thank God the Electoral College only consists of 538 electors. That means he only has to pay off 400 hundred instead of 1/2 the population.

Ironic or expected? An argument could support both: If graft is all it takes to gain favor then it is both expected and ironic that a person who takes bribes gets to be led by their weakness.

I think Donald Trump is intelligent. Yes, he is sometimes rude and crass and likes to spout off ridiculous things, and he plays the MSM like a rare Stradivarius, and so on - but there is a part of him that is incredibly sharp.
And, just for the record, I think Trump will win. Maybe easily. I don't think Biden has a chance.

I suppose it depends on how you define smart. There are lots of gangsters and drug dealers and murderers, and dictators who oppress their people, who are "clever" by one measure. But in terms of real happiness, and other worthwhile values I suspect such people, don't have a clue, and have basically missed what makes life worth living.
. That the wealthiest country, became such a pathetic culture is perhaps more of a tragedy than ironic. In any case the world is full of very sad stories, that are ignored. This one just happens to have taken place in the span of about the last 75 years and to have been center stage. Except for a relatively brief peculiar moment around 1968, mainly in San Francisco and a few communes, the falling dominos have followed the arrangement that was laid out at the end of WWII. (or possibly earlier according to some theories). Trump is like the candied cherry on top of a disgustingly sweet desert, dripping with artificially flavored syrup. To me he seems the perfect incarnation of human and American folly, the perfect symbol to preside over the demise of the world as we have known it.

ok but lets all agree that the left wing is the one who has to be in charge in the long run
ok to fixing up a little fixing the earth a little on other matters that climate but soon we would have to only have left wing or a right wing that is honest and serious about doing something about the climate
like this
in the long term
that's for sure
and there is no negotiation

but no I do not want that
look at in in hindsight
it is dark here
it's trumps fault
and right wingers
and capitalism and industrialization
enough is enough
now we are so dark and poor and deprived and deranged
time to get back
time to bring light
and love
and psychedelics
and understanding
and zen
and yoga
and fellowship with
ALL
every human should care for each other and back each other up and support each other
and be there for each other
and be kind to each other
left wing
they would bring love and soundness
and sense
the way they make sense of things is
fixing it
and curing it
and maintaining it
and making is sustainable
in the process of this immense almost celestial unificiation and purification of planet
we could enjoy psychedelics
give them enough time and there will be no limit to what we can do
and become
they would take it to reasonable and super
if you let it
and from there we could go anywhere we want

it is like in the matrix but instead of a lot of guns it would be a lot of flowers
and from there we could self transcend and love and all that that there is no limit to
without an earth there would be none of that
..

Ferdinando, Matrix is such a bomb movie. I agree with you there for sure. It would be like the famous 20th century band Guns n Roses.
