Nobody had of heard of Electric sharks till he discovered them. Charles Darwin knows fuck all.
Reminds me of a cunt called Hitler.Trumps has got to where he has by people continually underestimating him and his intelligence, dismissing him as ignorant , stupid, narcissistic, etc, etc. He has many, many, unpleasant traits but he is far from stupid. It has always irritated me that people dismiss him for this when in reality he is extremely cunning , manipulative and highly transactional (amongst other things). Although I accept he may now be displaying signs of cognitive disfunction/dementia etc. People made the same mistake with Boris Johnson with his studied disorganisation and buffoonery, they underestimated him too.
At this stage it's business as usual with Kamala, If elected I doubt if it will be otherwise since she appears to be a clone of Biden.

Guile may be a better word.It's a valid argument but when that 'intelligence' only appeals to those of the same ignorant, narcissistic, manipulative, bigoted, amoral mindset as displayed so openly by both trump and johnson, when it's so visibly that, then it's really not an intelligence worth defending.
And yet that seems to be what you're doing.

It's in this way you show you know nothing of Harris or BidenAt this stage it's business as usual with Kamala, If elected I doubt if it will be otherwise since she appears to be a clone of Biden.

Gollumesque almost.Guile may be a better word.

So all of the "Late Great Hannibal Lecter" stuff is all completely normal discourse then is it?Trumps has got to where he has by people continually underestimating him and his intelligence, dismissing him as ignorant , stupid, narcissistic, etc, etc. He has many, many, unpleasant traits but he is far from stupid. It has always irritated me that people dismiss him for this when in reality he is extremely cunning , manipulative and highly transactional (amongst other things).

Not really , I think you misunderstand my post, I think he is intelligent - however unattractive that manifests itself in his behaviour, etc. That's not he same as defending it , which I am not.
Is that true? Or has he got to where he has by repeatedly appealing to the worst side of human nature, supported by huge amounts of money and other misogynist, racist republicans and fundamentalist Christians?Trumps has got to where he has by people continually underestimating him and his intelligence, dismissing him as ignorant , stupid, narcissistic, etc, etc.
And supported by a media that will demonise anyone even slightly to the left of hard-right. This is nothing new. Michael Dukakis was demonised by the right in 1988, allowing George Twathead Bush the Senior to beat him.Is that true? Or has he got to where he has by repeatedly appealing to the worst side of human nature, supported by huge amounts of money and other misogynist, racist republicans and fundamentalist Christians?
If he was 30 years younger and significantly less insane I might agree. He is totally unhinged, just rants and I'm surprised he hasn't (reportedly) tried to microwave his own hat by now.As with bush this stuff is an act
Oh yes I agree he's completely bonkers but I also think he hams a lot of it up. People love him because he's such a bastard and he plays that up a lot.If he was 30 years younger and significantly less insane I might agree. He is totally unhinged, just rants and I'm surprised he hasn't (reportedly) tried to microwave his own hat by now.
It's this aswell, but he knows how to manipulate all of this , it takes some skill, imo.Is that true? Or has he got to where he has by repeatedly appealing to the worst side of human nature, supported by huge amounts of money and other misogynist, racist republicans and fundamentalist Christians?
andBots and directed disinformation agents have to retool and re-orient and change direction.
They need to be charged with new talking points and scripts.
Yes, a decrease in Biden commentary and also an increase in misogynistic and racist (I should have added this to begin with) memes and comments about Harris. Switched tactics!
Why balk? Intelligence isn't some sort of moral good, there's been endless very smart scumbags through history. It's is far more important to look on your enemies with clear eyes than to merely dismiss them, which only serves to make you feel just and helps not one iota in undermining their agenda. It's one of the great sources of liberal hubris to handwave the right as being full of stupid people. It isn't, in fact it's full of very smart people who know exactly how to manipulate mass audiences.I do see that. I just balk at 'intelligence' being used in the context of trump. I don't see it as intelligence, just low cunning, amoral opportunism.
Disappointed there's no movie for me to watch. 10/10 would watch that movie.
