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

How many presidents have hired a Nazi as his number one aid? I could go on but I know my audience doesn’t need me to.

Like when the neighbor's Great Dane goes to town on your leg while looking at you soulfully. Ruins the crease in your pants.

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.
