by **mrswdk** on Thu Jan 25, 2018 11:48 am

Oprah has today stated she does not think she could beat President Trump in the 2020 elections, because she has inferior DNA:

Oprah Winfrey has told the US magazine InStyle that she does not "have the DNA" to be US president.

I don't understand why everyone is obsessed with Oprah becoming the next president. I mean...Going great with Trump so far right? What's the worse that can happen? I guess that is the mentality.

Trump doesn't have to be self aware. No one is on his level. Whatever fucking level that is this week.

Sorry I installed a filter in my ears to get rid of all the noise from people who can't stop loving on Trump and Brexit.

She said nothing about having inferior DNA. She said she doesn't have the DNA to be President. I take that to mean that she isn't dishonest enough, ruthless enough, or malicious enough. The primary indicators of success in politics are dishonesty, ruthlessness, and a desire to cause harm to people who have done nothing to deserve it. Being "deficient" in those attributes is hardly a sign of inferior DNA; on the contrary, it is a sign of having superior DNA by any standard reasonable people would aspire to.

Yes, it is well-known that success in any career path depends upon being untrustworthy and unpleasant.

Only if you assume dishonesty or ruthlessness can be caused by a person's DNA, which they can't.

I said nothing of the kind. You are being just as dishonest as you were in your OP. Politics is not "any" career path. Politics is a dirty and distasteful business that does not play by the rules of any normal profession. It is more akin to the "confidence man" or "flim-flam" business. The politician cannot be seen as untrustworthy and unpleasant. He needs to be seen as very trustworthy and very pleasant until the time comes for him to rise to the top and fleece his victims.

Not wasting my time on a nature-vs-nurture argument. While some part of one's character does come from cultural cues, the central core is genetic. Studies of identical twins separated at birth and adopted into very different families show significant similarities in their character regardless of upbringing.
