In the 80’s I became aware of a behavioral study done on humans, one part of which studied queuing behaviors. They found that people objected if someone tried to cut in line. However, if someone asked to go to the head of the line, and had a reason for doing so, they were always allowed to do so . . . regardless of the reason given.
So, one could invent a reason . . . say, ‘They reticulated my boo boo’ and they would always be allowed to go to the head of the line with the well wishes of the others who were being moved back in the queue. This is an interesting behavior pattern, however, it has never really helped me. I have always been OK to stand in line, especially since I can practice my French ‘Va se fait foutre, monsieur’ (I won’t translate 😊 , but it is what I might say if someone tried to cut in with some lame excuse, like the ‘boo boo’ one given above).
Nonetheless, I do think this explains some of the reactions to Trump. The willingness of certain groups to accept his nonsense (i.e. poor me, they are all after me!). As long as he gives a reason, the herd just gives him a pass.
So, will you please impeach Trump for being the incompetent boob that he is? After all, they just reticulated my boo boo.
