Republican debates: Don’t think, just have faith
Warning: Watching the televised Republican presidential debates can seriously damage your intelligence.
The quadrennial circus that is the US election process is upon us once again and the banality, bigotry and buffoonery appear to be at higher levels than in the past. Eight years ago we were treated to the syntax of Simple Sarah and I thought that never again would cartoonists and humorists enjoy such a bonanza of idiocy. How wrong I was!
Switch on your TV sets, sit on your brains (that’s where most of the candidates have theirs anyway) and forget that these people are seeking the “world’s most powerful job”.
At a time of global uncertainty, politicians with only a rudimentary knowledge of the pressing issues of the day flaunt their ignorance as they try to convince voters that all will be well if they are elected to the presidency of the United States.
