I am starting to feel like Captain Kirk in the Omega Glory [1]

For those Star Trek enthusiasts out there who may be familiar with the episode the Omega Glory in the original Star Trek series, Captain Kirk has a classic outburst at the villain, a Captain Tracy, the only survivor of his ship, who has violated the Prime Directive because he believed something that was false. Captain Kirk yelled at him, "There's no miracles!...". I feel that way every time I read about the toddler, or anyone in his administration, or any maga-idiots, or really now, any republican, doing or saying anything. I feel like yelling at them, "There's no evidence!...", then I would go on, about how they have no idea what evidence is, how science works, what the Scientific Method is, what logic is, how to tell truth from lies, and that just because someone says something, that does not make it true! Most of us had the same basic education, and were taught all those things. However, they seem to have stopped using that information they learned, instead, like oppositional teenagers, refused to acknowledge truth and instead embraced only lies.

I used to tell my kids, if they acted stupid, people who didn't know them would think they were stupid, so to think before they acted or spoke.

In my opinion, that is one of the things that has happened to a lot of republicans, they are now acting and thinking stupidly because they have chosen to believe only lies. What is infuriating is republican politicians are not stupid, but they are acting that way because the have become drunk with power, no longer caring about the rule of law, the constitution, or even their own conscience.

That is why I will spend the rest of my life, and I am on the verge of retiring so I will be able to dedicate all my time to it, to doing everything I can to defeat every republican everywhere, until they can't get elected to any office.
