The greatest danger to Americans is not rising health care premiums, abandoning a century of proven caccines and innoculations against disease, but stupidity.
AI is considered one of the greatest inventions of all time. It ranks at the apex, along with the invention of the wheel, internal combustion engines, electricity, and the cell phone.
Even better, AI is here at an opportune time in American history. AI can save American voters from making more stupid mistakes.
As the nation prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in July, AI can be used in the next election to save at least half of Americans from themselves. That’s right: the greatest danger to Americans is not rising health care premiums, abandoning a century of proven caccines and innoculations against disease, but stupidity.
About half the nation voted for Trump, and they did it twice. Political pundits, political scientists, elected officials, and ex-presidents have all expressed disbelief that half the population voted for a known scam artist, convicted criminal, sex offender, tax cheat, adulterer, bankrupt businessman, who raised a family that was prevented from ever running a charity in New York because they embezzled from the donated funds.
Millions of Americans wonder why Trump has never been jailed, and they are right. The answer is that Trump was raised and matured his business larceny and fraud skills while in the upper echelons of Manhattan business and social society. Manhattan has to claim credit as the most corrupt business center in the country. All rules and regulations can be bent. There is always a back door to getting things done. There is always an envelope to be passed or a permit to be issued at midnight. Millionaires and billionaires thrive in this swamp, and they make swarmy business deals secret and routine.
Trump is a product of this corrupt culture. Bankers, lawyers, courts, cops, realtors, doctors, tax lawyers, divorce lawyers, unions, zoning boards, city councils, attorney generals, and sex addicts were all Trump accomplices, aiders, and abetters.
Since he was rich and Caucasian, and has the snake oil salesman’s charm, he walked away from many felonies. And because NBC made him a TV star in the same category as Jerry Springer, Maury Povich, Judge Judy, Dancing With the Stars, The Gong Show, and America’s Worst Home Videos, Trump not only escaped prosecution but also turned his sociopathy into a moneymaking platform.
That’s a trick reserved for the best con artists in history. Ask Charles Ponzi and Senator Rick Scott, who headed a company that pulled off the largest Medicare and Medicaid scam in history and walked away a millionaire, who then went on to become Florida governor and now, its Senator.
These conmen and women are not alone. There are thousands of them in the MAGA sphere. These are people who probably will evade taxes, run red lights, scam contractors, and put their fingers on the scale for every purchase made in their stores.
However, millions of other Americans voted for Trump, believed his lies, and neglected his pathetic, low-life, sex addicted, and criminal history. This is the so-called “MAGA base,” a label that will live in infamy as being a collection of either “deplorables” (Hillary Clinton) or numbskulls who unexplainably voted against their own interests (the description used by most sane political commentators).
Unfortunately, the MAGA base cannot be easily classified. They are rich, poor, and pathetically poor. They are men, young machos, and women who need a father figure. They are Caucasian, Black, Mexican, Asian American, and South American. But most of all, they are afraid, feel neglected, cheated, are unable to attain the traditional American Dream, and, to put it politely, range from uninformed to dumb.
AI Can Not Prevent Stupidity
This is where AI can help.
For the next presidential election in 2028, AI should be AI squared compared to today. Americans who are politically and financially uninformed can use AI to input their financial, family, individual, and community needs into an AI questionnaire and get back theright
answer about who to vote for. No need for the sameple ballot from the League of Women Voters (handy, but limited). AI can personalize the search, so dumb voters can consult AI in the privacy of their own homes, trailers, condos, and vans down by the river. Idiocracy (2006)
AI can prevent American voters from ruining their own lives by voting for convicted criminals, sex traffickers, and billionaire tax cheats.
AI can prevent MAGA throwbacks from claiming to be the “New Trump” or the successor to someone who should have been living under a bridge for the last decade. (No offense to people living under bridges.)
AI can show voters which candidate has a platform that aligns with their interests, including their tax bracket and views on American intervention overseas, spending, Social Security, Medicare, the environment, and other policy issues. It can show the candidate’s voting records, past policy positions, and social media posts about how they feel on key issues.
In short, AI can prevent voters from degrading their own financial and social status. If the Dems develop an AI app, it could guide millions into making sane decisions. In short, AI can save MAGA voters from themselves. The question is whether they want to be saved, or like voting for political sadists.
