The first thing we do is, let’s kill all the lawyers.  I'm not MAGA even if I agree with Trump from time to time.

It’s Trump who is totally dependent on lawyers for everything.

...is likely based upon a  poem in hexameter by Vergil in 37 B.C.E,  the last of a 10-poem series,  and contains the line, "Omnia vincit. amor: et nos cedamus amori."

I did not say it was. That's Will's line, not mine, you quoted. I said the law [sometimes] compels to do useless things - trivia.] We can distinguish the difference between lawyers and the law, yeah?

It really is a perfect example of why Trump won. Lawyers get a terrible rep for some of the terrible things they are able to accomplish but anyone who understands anything about what it takes to maintain a functioning democracy and rule of law understands how important lawyers are to maintaining a healthy society. But most people are deeply uninformed and even unintelligent so of course this appeals to them.

It's not that Trump is smart, it's that he's so stupid it takes no effort for him to know how to appeal to stupid people, which unfortunately make up the bulk of our society.

Why did it take so much more effort for Kamala?

Because when the room is full of stupid people, laying out the details of your economic plans and explaining how they will benefit working families can't compete with Trump telling voters that Kamala's economic plans are "very very bad".

That doesn't really answer my question. I am genuinely curious why Kamala had such a hard time grabbing those votes, assuming she wanted to win the election.

What do you see about Kamala herself that made it so hard to connect with that voter base? She certainly seemed able to speak in code to various different audiences. I would even say she was pretty good at it admittedly. So why that particular group?

It's hilarious how they can go from saying "our democracy" 24 times per second (the unit there is virtue-signal-hertz) to "most people are dumb, just really dumb".

They are dumb, that's why humanity keeps walking onto the rake that is socialism.

If you trust democracy you trust those dumb people.

If you trust lawyers you believe in Dredd v Scott.

If you trust congress you believe the deficit must be working out fine.


We will see no improvement in outcome until more people trust reason, that is what makes dumb people smart.
