Of Fools and Crooks. US elections 2024

US Elections 2024 results. Kamala Harris losing to Trump 224 to 277

I love second chances. Let’s summarize:

US Democrats get blindsided and overpowered by Trump’s victory. ‘How is it possible that these FOOLS don’t see he’s a crook?’ they ask themselves.

Record scratch. Freeze frame. Yep, that’s Trump in 2020. He’s probably asking himself that same question. ‘How is it possible that these FOOLS don’t see the Dems are crooks?’ But he really means it. Because, in his world, there’s only two kinds of people: fools and crooks.

And being a crook, he knows all too well fools don’t like being called fools. They know what they are, and they know what they want, and they’ll level with anyone who levels with them and lets them in on the score.

Does this sound to you like each and every voter on the foolishness scale from 0 to 10 on Earth? And what did Joe Biden use to say… “not a joke,” “that’s not hyperbole,” “literally,” “I’m serious,” “folks,” “here’s the deal” … I’ve always liked Joe. He’s my kind of crook.

Now, keep in mind I’m not saying voters are fools. They are just people on the scale from 0 to 10 who need to trust someone who wouldn’t, ultimately, give them the shaft. And this is where we are diverging into every election that has to be won, either by a Trump or a Biden. You either fight for it the right way or you lose to a crook. And the real nasty crooks always lose if you fight them hard enough, because it’s in their nature to swindle everyone around them, all the time.
