You are not going to believe this one.

I am traveling in the southeast after the hurricane. The Trump voters are nice people and they believe he is bipartisan because he takes on both Republicans and Democrats. It doesn't matter he won't sign much-needed legislation with bipartisan votes. 

Strange and unsophisticated Americans. Nice, but, out of touch with reality. One woman said, "What is the Mueller investigation?" There is a year to go and there is a lot of ground work to do, too.

They are disconnected from media. No television, newspapers or radio. They are busy meeting for bible study, Revelations Chapter 16 is the one I sat in on. I had to provide insight that I considered Chapter 16 a cleansing. They are waiting for the frogs and darkening of the sun. No lie. These are not the backwoods of Mississippi. They use their cell phones for keeping up with each other and the kids.

A spiritual bible study leader believes China is nothing but heathens for generations with no exposure to the bible. No lie. It is amazing the degree these Americans are out of touch with modern society. They are mired in old-time Christianity and believe the Jews missed the boat by waiting for a second Messiah.

There hasn't been any diplomat in recent USA history that allows such dense religious bigotry to be a part of foreign policy. It is bad. There is no leadership. Everyone should be ashamed in allowing such ignorance and bigotry in this country. We have always been a country of inclusion and outreach, not isolation.
