How do such idiots ever get elected?
I think they should teach creationism ... alongside evolutiion theory ... and the body of evidence evidence supporting both..... I have complete faith in 5 year olds to take on ideas, judge them and make up their own mind
For one thing, he's not an idiot. He is in fact a shrewd and clever mofo, far more dangerous than Trump. As for how he got elected, long story, but Reagan ending the Fairness Doctrine was the thing that allowed things like Faux News and Rush Limbaugh to thrive. Add that to the Evangelicals getting home schooling be OK for anyone, so a whole generation of kids got raised on Creationism and science denial, and here we are. A Democratic party who sold their souls to big business and stood by doing nothing hasn't helped.
I don't think pence is an idiot, he is responsible for the confirmation of Betsy devos among many other tie breaking senate votes. He is concretely the antithesis of my ideology. To call him an idiot is dismissive of what harm he has done. He is driven by pure faith that he is divinely inspired. And he literally is brought comfort that people who do not fit his model of christianity will burn for all eternity. He is a real life super villain waiting to usher in the apocalypse of revelation. He is no dummy. He is evil.
