A very perplexing thing about political combat is why some simple messages cut through the oppressive fog of demagoguery to capture the day ... Willie Horton, Hope and Change, read my lips, morning in America, etc. Why such semantic kindling spontaneously combusts is beyond my small mind ... but it usually happens late in every election. Watch for it! I’m sure it’s coming!
STAND UP FOR AMERICA!

People yearn for simple ways to describe to complex issues. In the political realm, unlike science, the simplest solution is too often a short term fix, which fails in the long run due to those pesky unintended consequences.
This is Trump's appeal: He offers simple solutions. A Wall to stem illegal immigration, Tariffs to punish China, Hydroxychloriquine, cancelling Treaties, on and on. The ramifications of his actions are beyond his ability to process. It will take a long tome to fix the mess he has created. #ByDon
But isn’t Biden a simple-minded solution?
A more serious response: Now, because Trump’s solutions are logical and simple ... they are automatically wrong ... even if they are working. This is so illogical, it is dumbfounding. Essentially, this (simplistic) argument says that Trump is wrong because some troll says he is. No proof, no argument offered. “Because I say so.”
No thanks!
Trump never offers proof for his pronouncements. Yet his drooling claque swoons at his greatness. You excuse his lies, name-calling, pettiness and mis-statements as mere "sandpaper." The History Books will look back to the (brief) time when America somehow elected a crook and a reality show huckster to the White House.
I understand he farts a lot too ... BT.w, “history books” is not capitalized ...
If the NYT can capitalize the adjective "Black" I can fucking capitalize History Books like they do to Bible and Q-anon. BTW it's BTW not BT.w. You're welcome.
Does the NYT still capitalize God?
