Growing Horizons

Blithering idiots abound
Where intellects don't make a sound
You must speak your mind
Or else you will find
There really is no common ground

Lot of truth in this limerick, Rico. Astute observation, methinks. ~ Gershon

It seems to be all about tyrant individuals today, Rico, A hand full only on earth, surely there is enough common sense in the world to put a stop to it. Brilliant Limerick one for today to be sure..Harry

One would think that people would have learnt from Hitler how easy it is to overthrow a government but, as you mention, the rise if tyrants proves we have not learnt anything at all!

Some people have a bloated sense of self esteem and they take others as mere idiots.... A thought, sagacious and sensible Rico

Yes, Trump convinced many people he was a genius simply by repeating that he was; they listened to his words and ignored his deeds. Aloha!

Always a challenge, e.g., in Hawai'i, people have tried for decades to legally buy a lottery ticket, but their voices will never be heard . . . .

Trump is still following HItler's playbook by inciting dissidents to attack Trump opponents with the promise that he will pardon them after he becomes Führer. That is a clear and present danger, but intelligent Americans won't speak up because they have seen how easily Trump was able to dispose of NY Governor Cuomo and curtail NY investigations and legal proceedings against the Trumps and their activities.
