It’s an easy crowd to please. Trump was 100% honest when he said he loves the poorly educated.

I believe that as a country we have finally descended into such a state of moribund stupidity that it just may be terminal.
I don’t say this lightly and hope I’m wrong, but the last decade has really changed everything that I ever believed about the US.
The lack of, and maybe just the inability to, apply critical thinking skills and weigh simple cause/effect scenarios by the general public is shocking.
Adding to that the acceptance of hateful rhetoric and actions by so many citizens is just grotesque .

And often mean. Listening the Sarah's focus groups on Bulwark scares the crapnout of me. It is hard to believe there are so many Americans with such low thinking skills.

I no longer feel elitist calling them morons. They are morons and we need to explain that to them, not cuddle them. Cuddling them got us to this point.

I could feel the IQ points leaving my body as he appeared on TV with the flagpole installers and bragged about the "biggest and greatest flags" in the history of the universe. Except for the one at the used car lot on our main drag.
