Jean, I think his groupies (not those who “know” and are just supporting him out of expediency) LOVE that he does this sh*t and actually gets away with it—getting away with it being the most important part.

You are probably right. Isn’t it too bad that we all don’t have to pass the test for citizenship as required of those that would be naturalized. If voting were not so easy, maybe we would value it more.
Jean, some years ago I was browsing the Costco book “table” when I struck up a conversation with an older woman & a younger woman (I took them to be grandmother/granddaughter, but am not sure). Must have been near the ‘16 election, because our convo touched on the upcoming election. The young woman mentioned that she didn’t vote….ha, that stopped both of us oldsters in our tracks…and we both proceeded to gently have a civics session why paying attention and being engaged is so important & that she should encourage her friends as well. Don’t know if that “lesson” landed or not, but hope it did. Also, once had a partner (mid-1970’s thru mid-1980’s), who was actually proud he never voted…used to chap my azzz & if he complained about policies, etc., I told him I didn’t think he had the right to complain if he chose not to participate!
