I would not let my doctor repair and adjust my brakes

And I wouldn't let my mechanic try to cure my pains and aches
I'd never go to a gardener to trim and shear my hair
And I won't be asking nudists to tell me what to wear.

So, please, I beg you, 'splain to me why politicians play
That they're as smart as doctors and so they get to say
"You must have your uncle's baby though you are only ten.
We know what's best for you li'l girl, 'cause after all, we're men!"

Because they are playing to their strength. Their strength is ignorance. They, like trump, love stupid people. Stupid people are the base of the Republican Party. Easily manipulated by billionaires who handpick their messengers and manipulate stupid people to vote for those handpicked messengers. And let’s not discount the Russians influence on stupid peoples brains.

Good Lord I just admitted I’m woke. An old white guy who grasps the obvious.
