Anyone with a brain knows at his age he can go downhill really fast.
I am of the view that people were unduly influenced by a confluence of an intentional barrage of disinformation and events that intervened during the 2016 election campaign. It seems many of those who voted for Trump on the basis of disinformation have subsequently changed their mind about Trump's fitness for the Presidency.
I do believe it is right to say that democracies, if they are to be maintained , require an educated populace. But even a sufficiently educated populace may not be prepared for a pathological liar who is skilled at playing to peoples fears and prejudices, i.e., a demagogue. It seems many will completely overlook, or readily rationalize away, a charismatic candidate's severe, and dangerous personality disorders. The surprisingly strong popular vote for Biden this past November might be more due to an acquired, strong rejection of Donald Trump after four years of chaos than it is a reflection of enthusiasm for Biden/Harris.
I may still be one of the few in these forums that recognize Trump's psychological disorders are so severe as to virtually cross over into insanity. This has been on display over an over again. Those who spoke of his actions as though they were in any way normal, wise, or constitutional may have been speaking out of fear of retaliation, as he made a habit of retaliating against anyone who would not indulge his bad manners and lawless, chaotic behavior. Alternatively, the sycophants he surrounded himself with may have been blinded by political ideology, or personal ambition. They were willing to lie for him and defend him when he was clearly wrong. Many had their reputations sullied by association with him.
There was no strong vote for Biden. You have been fooled. And easily at that.
I believe insanity requires lack of knowledge of right/wrong; and least 'criminal insanity' may.
Trump is well aware that he does wrong.
To the rest of your post:
Who is responsible for those falling for the Nigerian email/phone scams--rhetorical question--the criminals and:
1. The educational system; for releasing them into society without minimal critical thinking skills and/or a proper designation (mental disorder).
2. The victims (due to their lack of critical thinking skills etc.; implying intellectual laziness)
3. Just the criminal.
We have a minimal voting age due to the belief that the human brain is under-developed until a certain age; and we don't want under-developed brains voting.
K-12 and beyond doesn't teach the thinking skills needed to avoid scams like Trump Univ. or Nigerian emails. (Nor do they teach money management, etc.)
What has happened over the last five years is just another case of gullible minds buying into a conman's bullshit.
And Trump's bullshit isn't even sophisticated; the minds buying into his bullshit are just really gullible.
That's an important aspect of this, the complicity of the Republican party in all of this. There are a ton of Republican state reps who were still willing to protest the election results today. Pence said fuck all for a month what a waste of a good suit that guy is. Trump's kids stood by him no matter how fucked up what he said was or how irrational he acted.
I agree with this. Trumps erratic behavior, however, is inconsistent with what is required of a skilled con artist who is fully aware and in control of his deceitful actions. I am no longer certain that Trump has remained in touch with reality. Perhaps the pressure brought by knowledge that he faces possible felony indictments, in light of his failed re-election attempt, has overwhelmed his psyche. It appears that way to me. A rational person would recognize the risks involved in inciting a riot. He may actually believe that he can do anything and get away with it. If so, he is delusional.
I believe we both could contribute some good ideas as to how education could be improved.. I am a firm believer that there is a difference between education and job training. Both are important.

That you lefties think voting for Biden vs voting for Trump .. signifies anything but a vote for more crony destruction and theft vs... a desperate vote for change... means you are exactly the mushroom the cronies have crafted with their divide and conquer media messaging. (unless of course you are paid to post your propaganda for the crony theft... in which case may your afterlife match up with your choices. )
As I recall BTC was about 37.5K when I wrote that.All that said.....
HMMMMMMM>>>>

Like I said, America will be fine, this will pass, there is no coup... and that fear induced jump in BTC will be sold off.
