Alec Baldwin Says Americans Are Very Uninformed

                       Alec Baldwin, shooting off his mouth during a recent press conference, said: "Americans are very uninformed about reality – what's really going on. With climate change, Ukraine, Israel… You name it, all the biggest topics in the world, Americans have an appetite for a little bit of information."

                       Unlike, say, Alec Baldwin, a faux person who portrays others, such as Donald Trump, for a living. (And he is not even very good at doing that.) But Alec is, of course, a renowned scholar with an enormous appetite for knowledge-- and the truth…right? Mr. Baldwin went on to say, "There are many challenges to face. The environment, the problem of plastic, of permafrost: there are plastic molecules in every corner of the planet. These are the real problems to solve."

                       Plastic and permafrost are the real problems to solve? That’s rich! And only a very rich person would assert something so preposterous. Most Americans believe inflation, the economy, rampant crime, and the rapid loss of our unalienable rights at the hands of a gigantic, monolithic, and utterly out of touch government are far bigger and more pressing concerns. Precisely because they are all too familiar with their reality…and Alec Baldwin is not.

                       I’m sure Alec is aiming to be seen as a caring, informed global citizen, but, shoot, I find his virtue signaling triggering. To many of us it appears he has, once again, gone off half-cocked. He would get a better bang for his buck if he were a bit humbler.

                       Alec Baldwin obviously wishes we all could be as learned, informed, and important as……Alec Baldwin.  But his ‘reasoning’ isn’t bullet-proof, he’s simply engaging in projection.

                       Americans do know one thing, though: we are sick and tired of being under fire from pompous, vacuous actors and entertainers.
