TheReturnOfPEBWife of dead rally-goer says she hasn’t heard from Trump
morphballganonCNN reports:
Helen told the Post that President Joe Biden tried to call her, but she declined to speak to him since her husband ‘was a devout Republican, and he would not have wanted me to talk to him.’
But she added that she does not hold the current president responsible for what happened to her family.
‘I don’t have any ill will towards Joe Biden,’ she said. ‘I’m not one of those people that gets involved in politics. I support Trump, that’s who I’m voting for, but I don’t have ill-will towards Biden.’
Let’s see:
Decides who to ignore calls from based on her husband’s wishes
Claims to not be involved in politics, yet supports a certain candidate
Yep, that’s a garden-variety republican.
The important takeaway here is that Biden made an effort to reach out.
Todd Bonzalez“Devout Republican” is also pretty telling. These people aren’t politically Conservative, they are religiously Republican. They worship their party and its leaders, and just like religion, they never require evidence for anything they believe.
Conservatism is not an ideology for smart people or critical thinkers.
You can’t discount the selfish and hateful as stupid as even the most vile people can be cunning. I’d agree that the median conservative would be less intelligent than the median liberal, but that discludes the folks looking to take from others their money, freedom, and time in order to enrich themselves monetarily or psychologically. Not everything can be Hanlon’s razor’d, sometimes people just enjoy sucking.
