LOL.... That's because most of them ARE stupid.....

The first seven weeks of President Donald Trump‘s second presidency have been as frantic and unpredictable as any term we’ve seen. The perpetual pace, driven by Trump taking questions from reporters on an almost daily basis, has kept Democrats scrambling to coalesce around messages attacking the president’s agenda.
Frustrated and helpless, Democrats are being led by raw emotion to oppose Trump reflexively at every turn, including when the party is on the wrong side of every 80/20 matter.
Let’s look at the ways the blue team and its media allies are doubling down on stupid.
Here’s what it has looked like through the years:
2018: “Donald Trump’s Racism: The Definitive List, Updated”
2020: “How Racist Is Trump’s Republican Party?”
2023: “Talk of a Trump Dictatorship Charges the American Political Debate”
2024: “Amid Talk of Fascism, Trump’s Threats and Language Evoke a Grim Past”
But apparently, racism and fascism weren’t quite over-the-top enough in the eyes of the Old Grey Lady. So it has now turned to basically calling him the Merchant of Death.
Here is one ominous prediction from columnist Michelle Goldberg (emphasis mine) in a piece predictably titled, “Is the Destruction the Point?: Three Opinion Writers on Trump’s First 50 Days”:
“[Trump is] taking America’s soft power and setting it on fire in all sorts of ways, but really making these abrupt decisions that are going to kill hundreds of thousands and maybe more than a million people and he’s doing it in this incredibly arbitrary, careless way.”
So, let’s unpack this with a reality check:
More than two dozen American hostages have been returned to the United States since Trump took office.
Trump has pressed for peace between Ukraine and Russia and repeatedly said the killing must stop.
Last week, Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire with Russia.
This week, Russia agreed in principle to a ceasefire with Ukraine.
Trump helped usher in a ceasefire in Gaza.
So, how are hundreds of thousands or even a million people going to be killed because of Trump’s decisions? If anything, it appears that the world is more on a path to peace, as it was from 2017 to 2021.
Talk about a disconnect.

Unhinged hyperbole
The New York Times, which hasn’t endorsed a Republican presidential candidate since former President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956, has tried everything to bring Trump down in its “coverage” of the president.Here’s what it has looked like through the years:
2018: “Donald Trump’s Racism: The Definitive List, Updated”
2020: “How Racist Is Trump’s Republican Party?”
