What is this country's dumbed down skill set to begin with?

The whole thing is Milgram shock experiment in a nutshell and it really did happen and people eventually "shocked" people to death in theory, for not knowing the answer.

Trump had it down. Wouldn't he be something if he did what he is capable of for real. Ain't holding my breath there.

Not much other than he has learned to twist everything and people will follow.

Sickens me.

I did read tonight the Blaze is calling him out on covid lies. 4 years ago it may have been encouraging, now it will be overlooked or forgotten tomorrow. He will make sure of it.
