Well, if you're the same way you don't want people to think you're crazy too, so of course they rejected it. All the racist saw was a fellow racist, if it's not racism they can't see it.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” - Isaac Asimov

This is in quotation marks, who are you citing please ?

Problem is you don't have to be a specialist in mental health to come to the same conclusion. Unfortunately, millions of Americans can't (or won't) see the obvious.

Agree ; also I listened to a science program about " power
and how it becomes addictive ( while the victim or patient is
not aware ). Being out of touch - OR just plain lying is a
HALLMARK ; spinning the facts OR re-writing history is the basis for ALOT of what has occurred . Instead of making progress on major social issues we were taken BACK to
a " comfort zone " where ANYTHING the president thought
or felt WAS TOTALLY CORRECT and required devoted
obedience- not logical Thinking .
Thanks

Apparently there are a lot of Americans who think crazy is pretty normal.

Most Cluster Bs are fairly good at concealing their true selves, at least for a while.

I warned them. I warned them, but did they listen? Oh, no, it's just a harmless little billionaire, isn't it?

Well it's always the same, I always warn them and nobody listens....

Yes. He has lived up to the diagnosis of being mentally unfit to lead the country.
