Voting for Charisma Over Character

Dear Dingo:

I am fearful of the midterms elections and Trump 2024.... and what will happen beyond that??

Answer:

Settle down my little friend. People vote with their feelings, not facts. How do you think folks like Ronald Reagan and Sarah Palin even got their toes into the political game? Even Biden--was simply a bit more likeable than Bloomberg or Buttigieg. 

Trump has freakishly high charisma. Enough so, that people are willing to vote for  politicians whose sole policy platform is to perpetuate their false prophets lies!

Of course, this would be worrisome if Trump were 42 years old and a health nut.  But he's not. Even if term limits are thrown out like a greasy McDonalds wrapper, he is no cyborg. All that will remain--underqualified, non-charismatic representatives.
