As a white male, I find it rather disheartening that I am a member of the only demographic that supports Donald Trump, unless you count white people generally, but that’s a bit unfair to white women. You have to wonder, is there something in the DNA of white males that makes them particularly susceptible to small handed con-men? Why is my demographic the only one that can’t seem to see through the Donald, in particular, and in general, can’t seem to vote in its own interest? I mean, to paraphrase a song by the great Louis Armstrong, “What did we do, to be so white and dumb?”.
So, I ask, is there a way to resign from a demographic? Can I make myself an honorary something else?
I guess I’ll just have to content myself with the knowledge that the genetic flaw that runs in the genes of most white men, does not run in mine. Cold comfort, for my wife has pointed out a disturbing pattern among members of my demographic as they pass farther and farther into geezerdom, as I am currently doing. We remember so well the lifelong local Democrats who became weirdly conservative as they passed into senescence.
Still, it doesn’t happen to everyone, and I’m sure I’m proof against it. My genes may be compromised, but my will is strong.
Hey! Wait! Is that Fox News playing on that television? You know, sometimes they make a lot of sense, especially that Bill O’Reilly. I think I’ll watch for a while.
