The coming of an idiotdom.

If you are a celebrity in the USA, you can say and do pretty much anything you please. And you’ll get ample publicity. Doesn’t matter whether you are spreading outlandish lies. Doesn’t matter whether you are a pompous ass, such as Donald Trump. You’ll still get attention. Because that’s the way the media operates. Everything is celebrity oriented. Trump, for instance, is allowed to spread an allegation that Barack Obama may not be a U.S. citizen. That there’s no absolute proof that he was born in the USA. When any rational and credible person knows better. Even the media knows better. But still, Trump is given a forum. To say anything he wants. And it’s printed and recorded and sent all over the world. By the media. And there are dumbbells who believe it. Because they’ll believe anything. That the moon is made out of cheese. And that the moon landing was a hoax. Yes, we live in an age when idiots are given a forum. An opportunity to address their fellow idiots. And that’s a scary thing. Because it’s possible that there are enough idiots in the world to constitute a majority. And quite often in a democracy, the majority rules. Evidenced by the fact that the USA is being transformed into an idiotdom. --Jim Broede
