Donald Trump has demanded that the homeless “immediately” move out of Washington, D.C. to make the nation’s capital “more beautiful.”
Trump reiterated his Saturday announcement that he’s set to hold a press conference at the White House on Monday, adding on Truth Social on Sunday that “I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before.”
“The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY,” he continued. “We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital. The Criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong.”
Same way it has happened hundreds of times before. An ant doesn’t know how an ant colony works and it doesn’t realize when its in a death spiral.
Weird, everyone else could tell and even huge amounts of their own population could, too. Empires of the past didn’t have the internet but these days you can very easily* see how the ant colony works.
*it does require some level intelligence, but it’s pretty much all there.
No. You can’t. None, or perhaps nearly none of us understand how a city functions. Millions of humans come together and form a functional unit that has behaviour and agency, that protects us and organizes us, and we have no fucking idea how it works, because it emerges in non-obvious ways from very simple human behaviours.
We are very much as ants, responding to signals that we don’t even directly perceive.
Your aside seems to suggest you think people voted the way they did because of lack of intelligence. That is a defense mechanism on your part. It’s a belief you hold not because of its predictive power, but because of your emotional needs.
