The American Voter: Enlightened or Buffoonded

Uff-Da, Governor Tim Walz was selected as the Democratic vice presidential nominee.  Minnesotans have experienced the impacts of Governor Walz’ progressive regime and now have front row seats as his national “narrative” is spun, unburdened by the reality of the last five years in Minnesota.  The D.C. Blender (defined below) is attempting to transform our governor, infamous for riots, fraud, abandonment, crime, and spending like a drunken sailor, into the All-American Midwestern moderate governor who coached football, wears camo and says folks a lot.  Millions of Minnesotans are buffoonded by what they are watching.
 

Buffoonded, apparently it is not a word, but let us not be burdened by the dictionary.  Buffoonded – the feeling one gets watching ridiculous, hypocritical interviews, actions and news stories while being amused by the apparent complete lack of self-awareness and truthfulness of those doing, saying and reporting, said behavior.  Examples of common uses:

- The residents of Minneapolis were buffoonded as they watched the news reports describing “mostly peaceful protests” while infernos blazed throughout their city, the 3rd Precinct Police Station was overrun, and businesses were destroyed.

As a collective?  Stupid as the day is long and easily gulled or frightened over nonexistent matters, and just as easily blinded to real threats.

They follow after their prophets with itching ears... in the truly Biblical sense... On both sides of the aisle.

True that.  Americans become the most slavishly submissive creatures on the planet once you’ve successfully played on their fears.  There’s no more glaring an example of that than during COVID.  Americans not only willingly, but EAGERLY surrendered their freedoms on the promise of “bending the curve.”

The COVID nonsense was a really depressing example of how much Americans have given up being American.

Well they believed that the Dakota Access Pipeline crossed Tribal Land (it did not).
and that the "Water Protectors" were there to protect the water, when they probably created the largest single event trash pile ever abandoned in North Dakota, ever.
(Far more than any oil company would have or ever be allowed to have loitering on a drilling or production location).

America has become a nation of Suckers. (Please, prove me wrong!)

Definitely Buffoonded.
