Unfortunately, I know a few relatively educated people that were neither stupid or treasonous. They just did not like what the democrats had done in the last 4 years. They were not well informed enough to know that electing a literal Nazi and his cohort, was better than whatever their grievance.
I really never believed that stupidity could be measured. Yes, it can. 55% of this country is very fucking stupid, and 80% of this 55% are white racist, uneducated idiots with an IQ < 70. 70 is borderline retarded. Don't like that word, I don't like white racist insurrectionists.
50% of adult Americans read at or below a 6th grade level.
21% are functionally illiterate.
Those are the stats and those are the criminals & the intellectually neutered, morons holding power.
I see. This is from ChatGPT but it’s from ‘20. Where can I find newer stats?
According to a 2020 analysis by Gallup, commissioned by the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy, approximately 54% of American adults between the ages of 16 and 74 read below a sixth-grade level.
You never will. I’ve yet to meet an intelligent racist. Sure some are good at manipulating people but all that means is they’re not as dumb as the their marks.
You would be shocked to know how many highly educated wealthy people support him. For example the “ tech bros” and Publix heiress funding 1/6 and his campaigns.
I have… 3 of my (ex) friends: a belgian jewish couple who always voted blue and this time for trash head because of israel 🤮; a European American couple who votes trump and a business woman who both vote for him because they think he is great 😳🤷🏻♀️. This time I was like 🫷🏼. I’m done. Actions have consq
Following the message prior to yours, their advanced degrees (masters, doctorates) would label them otherwise - they truly agonized over voting for tRUmp but think they’re doing the right thing by their religious beliefs. (We here might all agree that anyone who voted for tRUmp is stupid though.)
While this is true, I also look at the source, being full-fledged "HUMAN STUPIDITY" in its most GRGIOUS form known to mankind benefiting themselves at the cost of others which leads to self-destruction while taking us along for the ride. As we givers always UNDERESTIMATE STUPIDITY'S damaging powers!
I know several MAGAts with advanced degrees - most of them are in business. I don’t know a single research scientist (except the ones who work for chemical companies) who is a MAGAt. It’s always about the Benjamins for the others.
I have. Some of them are even in my family and my husband's. BUT,to each his own. Not like I could ever change their minds about Trump. But they won't change mine either!
The average maga voter is flailing in the dark over issues we on the left feel too. Too much of our hard work is taken from us and we lack real representation. If the left is as smart as we think we are, we'll quit stereotyping and start finding ways to talk about our common complaint & abusers.
I have & that just makes it worse. At least uneducated gives some room for an excuse. When they’re educated & know better, that just puts them as the lowest of the low.
Guy in Henderson, NV, asked about his neighborhood's politics, pre-election: "Half of us are voting for Harris and half of us are treasonous assholes."
I know a bunch of smart, successful, college educated men and women who are all-in Trump supporters and that teaches me not to underestimate the opposition!!!
I will never understand how so many people allow themselves to continually get conned by a man they've known their entire life to be a conman. If someone keeps kicking you in the nuts, at some point, you try to block it? Don't you?

Here's where we are with today's technology. Different stats from different sources. How fucking convenient.
According to a 2020 analysis by Gallup, commissioned by the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy, approximately 54% of American adults between the ages of 16 and 74 read below a sixth-grade level.
Have you noticed that 30% of Americans are Nazis.
There is no more middle ground, choose your side.
Ignorance is abound in MAGA…but so is greed.
Cannot think and cannot read

But treasonous shit, not necessarily.
Victims of the disinformation war.
