That blind loyalty along with absurd "party loyalty" and money will be the reason he wins.Quote:

Trump can lie, cheat steal, all on camera while confessing on audio and his supporters will turn the other way.
That's what gets me... And then come off all high and mighty on that horse they are on.Quote:

Blind loyalty or a severe lack of intelligence?

We see it here all the time. A poster makes a dumb comment, they get hammered and they twist and turn and do everything they can to prove they are right.
Hope is a MOFO. It prevent us from seeing what is real.
It's almost like that friend in a crappy relationship who defends the person to the death, even while they know the best thing is to end it, they fight to keep it because they are afraid of what will happen when they are gone.
Good post and good way to phrase it.Quote:

But they are no so patient or forgiving of Yankee prospects, managers, or veterans during a pandemic season. Priorities and values for some people.Quote:

‘We’re No. 28! And Dropping!’
A measure of social progress finds that the quality of life has dropped in America over the last decade, even as it has risen almost everywhere else.
By Nicholas Kristof
Sept. 9, 2020
The newest Social Progress Index, shared with me before its official release Thursday morning, finds that out of 163 countries assessed worldwide, the United States, Brazil and Hungary are the only ones in which people are worse off than when the index began in 2011. And the declines in Brazil and Hungary were smaller than America’s.
“The data paint an alarming picture of the state of our nation, and we hope it will be a call to action,” Michael Porter, a Harvard Business School professor and the chair of the advisory panel for the Social Progress Index, told me. “It’s like we’re a developing country.”
The index, inspired by research of Nobel-winning economists, collects 50 metrics of well-being — nutrition, safety, freedom, the environment, health, education and more — to measure quality of life. Norway comes out on top in the 2020 edition, followed by Denmark, Finland and New Zealand. South Sudan is at the bottom, with Chad, Central African Republic and Eritrea just behind.
The U.S. leads the world in medical technology, yet we are No. 97 in access to quality health care.
