    Just because a bunch of people are stupid enough not think his rankings are sane doesn’t make them so.

    If half the country said 2+2=5 would they be right too?

      2+2=5 is not politics. Politics is a game of power, popularity, and persuasion, not math. If everyone in power says no, then it’s no.

        Sanity is also not politics.

        Sanity is the state of having a healthy, sound, and rational mind, characterized by good judgment, emotional stability, and the ability to function rationally. It represents the absence of mental illness or insanity, often described as possessing “wholeness of mind”.

        Just because a bunch of morons believe him doesn’t make him sane or competent; to the contrary it shows their lack of wherewithal. They ALL need dealt with.

          Outsiders can agree all they want about that fact, but truth is created in small rooms it seems, and that truth can be very different than day to day reality. The rules of the game that were setup are complicated, and the players are currently still willing to play even though they didn’t originally know or imagine playing the game this way themselves, it seems to them to be a valid way to play. The regular people also play along, because of the rules of the game, even though how it’s played has changed, and some rules they thought couldn’t be changed can be, so they don’t all like playing anymore, but they are always the first to try to leave the game, so there are many guard rails in place to see that they cannot disturb the real players too much. Even though they could… Generally they don’t. So no, sanity is not politics, but that’s already baked in.
