Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

Think what you want about Trumpkins' intentions. From my observations, in their ranks are found among the most intransigent and/or "ig'nernt" SOBs I've ever had the displeasure to see and hear express themselves. Drew Griffin recently interviewed Florine Gruen Goldfarb of Broward County, FL. He interviewed here because she runs the Team Trump Broward [County, FL] Facebook page. She and her group promoted an event that was a Russian-coordinated one. When bid to discuss the matter, among her responses was a hubristic denial of facts, of reality.
What the hell?
- Does Florine think the U.S. is a 15th or 16th century monarchy (or papal state) wherein what the king says is, is, and what the rest of the court says publicly is what the king says; therefore there's good reason to doubt what one is told is?
- Well, the fact is that it was "King" Trump's "court" (his DoJ) that filed the indictment that states unequivocally that the event she promoted was indeed Russian-coordinated/-sponsored
- Is she completely clueless about the legal process? Does she have any idea of what are the implications and consequences of submitting perjurious testimony? Does she truly think someone would, in order to assail another whom one despises, choose to ruin, beyond repair, a very fine career practicing law? Trust me, people don't willfully do that; they just don't.
- What it takes to obtain admission to the D.C. Bar
- What happens if one "screws up" by perjuring oneself:
- What often happens (particularly in D.C.) if one "keeps one's nose clean":
Of course, Florine and dunces like her, apparently, can't relate to the notion of having a career that one doesn't want to screw up. Being thus oblivious, regardless of what they think be or want to be so, cleaving in the face of face of good reason and common sense, neither of which they seem to possess, to dissolute conspiracy theories and a nincompoop's denial of reality. And as if that isn't enough, Florine and intellectual peers haven't enough self-awareness or shame to refrain from going on television and showing the whole "effing" world just how lamentable a mental midget she is.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

POLL NOTE:
- The poll question asks potential respondents to choose the most apt answer, in one's own opinion, of the ones offered. Surely we've all encountered questions/polls where the instructions say "choose the best answer." Well, the poll for this thread is one yet another of them.
