The night of the presidential debate, I woke at three. Being curious, I thought I would listen myself, make up my own mind before any other person’s opinion could infect my thinking. I’m glad I did.
I was fascinated by the lack of manners, the superficiality of the debate, the personal insults, the inability of the participants to follow the questions from the moderator, or practise self discipline.
The whole thing was quite revealing.
I was reminded of the naughty boys in my classes at junior school who had to be separated before they upset the rest of the kids, or lept on the desks, or hurt someone.
One boy was worse than the other. Perhaps it was his Covid-19 making him more unruly than usual?
This morning, my inbox is full of notifications from the people I follow on YouTube and BitChute. Many of them have dramatic HEADLINES (in caps) about the ‘WINNER’ of the debate!
To me, it was the worst debate in History. It was cringeworthy, seeing two grown men behaving as if there was not a single rational thought between them.
I am going to unfollow anyone who actually believes it was good in any way whatsoever.
Obviously, I cannot trust the opinions of the people I thought I was in tune with. They are probably wrong on other things too.
So I am UNSUBSCRIBING.
But I’ll watch the next presidential debate on Thursday, October 15, 2020. It has to be better in some way, otherwise the two clowns will have shown they are incapable idiots, neither of them fit to be a president of anything. And the moderator will have got his/her shit into gear.
