America, you’re stupid: Trump’s political triumph makes it official

[BlackAsCoal]

America, you’re stupid: Donald Trump’s political triumph makes it official — we’re a nation of idiots
Trump's rise proves we're full of loud, illiterate and credulous people — and he's a mirror of them

I hate to have to say it, but the conclusion stares us in the face: We’re a stupid country, full of loud, illiterate and credulous people. Trump has marched straight to the nomination without offering anything like a platform or a plan. With a vocabulary of roughly a dozen words – wall, Mexicans, low-energy, loser, Muslims, stupid, China, negotiate, deals, America, great, again – he’s bamboozled millions of Americans. And it’s not just splenetic conservatives supporting Trump or your garden-variety bigots (although that’s the center of his coalition), it’s also independents, pro-choice Republicans, and a subset of Reagan Democrats.

This says something profoundly uncomfortable about our country and our process. A majority of Americans appear wholly uninterested in the actual business of government; they don’t understand it and don’t want to. They have vague feelings about undefined issues and they surrender their votes on emotional grounds to whoever approximates their rage. This has always been true to some extent, but Trump is a rubicon-crossing moment for the nation.

The Founders of this country were Enlightenment-era elitists. They represented everything Tea Partiers and Trumpites abhor – free inquiry, progress, science, and reason. Humans being high primates, they wondered whether the average citizen could be trusted with a democracy, whether the fury of the mob could be contained. They were wrong about a lot of things – race in particular – but a Trump nomination, perhaps more than anything else, would be the ultimate vindication of their concerns.

Yet another fine example of media propaganda brainwashing.

 

[easyt65]

Career politicians have elevated themselves above the Constitution and Rule of Law, have allowed themselves to get away with breaking laws that none of us ever would be allowed to, have made themselves millionaires while screwing hard-working citizens, have engaged in non-representative government, selling their influence/themselves to the highest bidder...

The Democratic Party is running a self-proclaimed Socialist and a scandal-plagued, sexual-crimes-victim-harassing, incompetent, 'often confused' (according to her own staff) criminal....


And the American people have rejected the former and are on the verge of rejecting the latter, taking back control of a government that was established by and for 'WE, the people'...

...and 'you', the 'OP', declare them to be 'stupid' for rejecting the status quo and for doing what they are doing.

Hands down, no question....YOU HAVE GOT TO BE A LIBERAL!

I am a liberal by classical definition, the same as the Founding Fathers. Our modern-day Democrats - call them liberal or Progressive or the all-encompassing Communist - reflect nothing of the sentiments or philosophy of the Founders. They are no more than power-mad animals seeking to divide America into an Orwellian nightmare based in class structures and sedated by bread and circuses.

Less than half of Americans are idiots. The other portion is ready to blow over their nonsensical antics.

Stating your case then proving it in your own post, well done.

Electing Mrs. Tuzla Clinton would be an indication of what? It would be an indication that America just doesn't care. Trump is a protest vote. Get rid of Mrs. Tuzla and Trump will fade away. Until then, he is an non-political correctness canidate.

Trump wasn't selling his influence to the highest bidder... he WAS the highest bidder
Trump didn't make himself a millionaire .... his Daddy did that for him

Let me point out two(2) things about your statement about stupid people.
Katie Pavlich - Obamacare Architect: Yeah, We Lied to The "Stupid" American People to Get It Passed

Obamacare Architect: Yeah, We Lied to The "Stupid"Liberal American People to Get It Passed.

Now the people who voted for Trump didn't vote for the idiot in charge twice.

Cass Sunstein: for the Homer Simpson in all of us

From the University of Chicago Law School, where he taught alongside Barack Obama for a dozen years, he has just moved permanently to Harvard, where he and Obama seem still to be channeling each other.
Cass Sunstein: for the Homer Simpson in all of us

Only people with a little Homer Simpson are those that voted for Hope and Change expecting the liberals to take care of you, how is that Hope and Change working out for you.

The conservatives citizens of the US are tired of the liberal (R) and (D) politicians who are screwing US over. We are tired of morons like you voting in those who hate this country and want to fundamentally transform it to Venezuela. Bunch of liberal morons.

Wrong, totally wrong. What it shows is that America is finally waking up to the corrupt establishment politicians in both parties. Americans are fed up with crooked pols who spend their time in DC making themselves rich with OUR money.

Trump threatens the power structure in both parties, that's why they are all scared shitless of him------------------and that is good for America.

I don't think "stupid" is the right word. I think our success and prosperity made us intellectually lazy, entitled and more than willing to lower our standards.

Trump is simply a bright, shining symptom of where we are today: We're more interested in reality TV and selfies than in anything else.

The people we choose to "lead" us are more reflective of our culture than of our intelligence, in my estimation. It's not irreversible. Necessarily.
