re: #119 Blind Frog Belly White
The problem in a nutshell is that 35% of America is just plain stupid.
Oh, I’m sure some of them can do well enough on a standardized test, but they lack the simple ability to reason. I don’t know whether that’s because there’s something that doesn’t work in their brains, or they weren’t taught to do so, or simply find it easier not to. But it’s a real, serious problem.
And now, they’ve finally elected a President as stupid as they are, who’s dumb enough to say the stupid things they want to hear.
appx 95% of people believe they are of above average intelligence*
(they also believe they are above average drivers)
*i totally made up %. whatever the actual number is, it’s still true
