Would you say that about someone who voted for Clinton?
I don't believe this, but I could make an equally cogent argument for why Clinton supporters are total idiots who voted against their own interests. I mean, are they really so stupid to think that someone who collects enormous checks from bankers and brutal foreign regimes will be on their side? How can they be so stupid to believe Clinton's pandering to Bernie supporters about her change-of-heart on the TPP? How could they be so stupid to support a candidate who cheated over and over again? Don't they realize that she has a private and public position, and that her public position is entirely determined by poll results? What idiot would support a candidate who is running a fraudulent charity? She's under FBI investigation for god's sake! Only a knuckle-dragging buffoon would vote for her!
I could go on and on, but I won't, because I don't actually believe that Clinton voters are stupid. Clinton didn't have that many gung-ho supporters, and the same was true for Trump. On both sides voters had two terrible choices, and they chose the one they thought would do a little less damage.
