Every once in a while I read a new poll showing how historically unpopular he is. How do you think people individually and in groups will react to this seemingly inevitable (to me) result? How will society react and, if possible, change?

      It’s not supposed to help you spell the word? It’s a comment on the danger of assuming things.

        The full bit is “when you assume, it makes an ass of u and me!”

        Teacher dropped that line on my class when I was a little dude, with a comedic pause instead of actually articulating “ass”. We all got a kick out of it, the correct spelling of “assume” was instantly and permanently ingrained in our heads, and I’ve heard it referenced quite a few times since.

        But after the initial giggle, there’s the “hey wait a minute, if YOU assume, that only makes an ass of YOU!”
