Critical thinking is the very thing that elected DJT in the first place; the electorate undertook critical thinking of the political Establishment and concluded that we were come to our unsatisfactory pass *because* of the professional political class -- a class that continues to take a thrashing as the electorate rebels at the prospect of them continuing to fill the seats of power.
Trump has, critical thinkingwise, shown up the value of the political establishment -- it's not high, as la Pelosi's idea of appropriate political conduct and escaping condemnation from her own, this last week will show -- only partly owing to his being an outsider therefrom. This goes back a long ways into a real estate career -- politicians being in the main a line-item expense, and little more.
(Talk radio properly raised hell with Pelosi over that "no crisis unexploited" stunt. Really -- 1400 pages of riders, considerably greater in bulk than the original appropriations bill??)
He's made that public, and they can't fucking stand it -- and that couldn't happen to a nicer and more deserving demographic. Their vocal reluctance to bend over and take one for the free republic is blatant, and their shame. No wonder I quit voting for Donkeys so many years ago. That's the easiest way to perform critical thinking -- and it saves you from voting an antidemcratic socialist (socialism isn't democratic; never be fooled by disguise -- or you can't be a critical thinker) even inadvertently into the bargain. You've still got a couple of decent party choices -- the Republicans do not harbor socialists in their club, and the Libertarians are positively the antisocialists.
