And the biggest fools of our country voted for an old, weak, senile 47 year career politician who rode on everyone's coat tails his entire life. These easily manipulated fools actually voted for someone who hid in his basement and who's toughest question was the flavor of his ice cream. Now those are FOOLS.

I question if you even know who Will - and Ariel - Durant were? Many of us used their "History of Civilization" as a primary source when doing historical or philosophical research. Here's another quote from him that may be lost on you and the Trumpsters, "To be one's deliberate or true self means to rise above the impulse to become the slaves of our passions and instead to act with courageous devotion to a moral cause for the greater good."

What an ill-natured, repulsive and narcissistic comment. You could have just added your little phrase and been done. The likes of you are persona non grata here. You will never fit in here, just like all the other places you have been expelled from in the past.

Many of his words still ring true, especially when one considers contemporary politics and the politicalization of COVID.
