Being Treated Like Fools

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. But if you can fool me all the time I'm most likely a Democrat because sometimes they are so easy to be fooled.
Tell a Democrat something they want to believe and they will believe it even if it is ridiculous. It was easy for Democrats to believe Trump was colluding with the Russians because they were told to believe it. Those who claimed to have proof even though they had as much proof as a kid at Christmas believing in Santa were believed. We who had common sense knew that if there was proof, it would be undeniable.
It took years for the Russian collusion lie to be exposed. We missed out on many great things that might have happened while Trump was president because lies were being believed and his efforts were thwarted. We might have had the wall completed before 2020.
Too often, people like to fool themselves. Those who like to be considered woke because they believe it means being open-minded seem oblivious to reality. Being woke is more like being empty-headed. Trans women are not women. Mutilating children to satisfy the woke because they consider it health care would have sent the mutilator to prison several years ago. But the woke want to send people with common sense to prison. Just because a boy claims to be a girl and thinks he has the right to shower with girls after beating them in an athletic event doesn't mean he should get away with something a lot of horny boys dream about.
The FBI still thinks we are fools because it had the Hunter Biden laptop before Joe was the nominee for President and knew it was his. Yet it told people it might be Russian disinformation. That lie cost Trump re-election. The FBI interfered in the 2020 election and now won't allow information that could put Hunter in prison and kick Joe out of the White House to be known by the public. If the FBI allowed us to know everything we should about the Biden crime family, many of Joe's biggest supporters would admit they were fooled and would vote for anyone other than Joe; maybe even Trump.
When I see people still wearing masks even though they aren't as protective against airborne disease as thought, I wonder if they are willfully being fooled or if they actually fear diseases. They might not know breathing in too much carbon dioxide like they are doing might produce worse health in the future. It's ironic that many that questioned authority a generation ago are now the ones in charge and think they shouldn't have their authority questioned.
