    I just can’t believe it worked though. It seems obvious to me that voting for Trump as a working class non-white is shooting yourself in the foot.

      Hell even working class white makes 0 fucking sense. The guy is clearly out for 2 kids of people.

      1. People with the last name Trump.
      2. Billionaires

      If you aren’t one of those 2 very specific groups and you voted for him, you have to be one of the dumbest people on the planet. It reminds me of a George Carlin bit. “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that!”

        It seems to work on apparently smart people too, but they lack skepticism or a critical thought process.

        Two colleagues who are amazingly intelligent fell for the propaganda, and still do. It baffles me. Even when I present facts they seem really confused.

            Either they’re finally showing their true colors, or they’re not as smart as theykeep telling you they are.

            I had one who always claimed how bright and well informed he was, bragging about how instructed his kids to always be skeptical.

            He listens to focks nooz in the car

              Its not them telling me they are smart, its me witnessing them grasp stuff faster than anyone I know and have massive insight into things, and yet there is this part of them that has a tremendous blind spot
