This is the logical step I've never been to follow and I am open to understanding. If Trump, the GOP. and all of his supporters are idiots, how did they win? If the liberals and liberal candidates were so smart, why did they lose so badly? It seems it would be easy to control a mass of idiots. I'm not trying to flame, I've never been able to follow this logic and am interested in how others view it
- SiempreViernes 9y agoWhile the question of how they won despite being idiots is interesting and important, I find it much more alarming that the fact they won an election somehow make the almost daily idiotic escapades of the administration unimportant evidence. Note that I am not making a claim about the supporters, just the orange and his staff. Why people voted as they did in the numbers they did is of course a much bigger question. But I mean, the obvious answer is that the election process itself is very flawed as it can elect an administration this bad, that's just empirical fact now.
- rainieri 9y agoThey aren't idiots. That's a big generalization to make. There are idiots on both sides as well as very smart people. Bad guys and good guys.
- frockington 9y agoI completely agree. I think the outcome of event proves that. I am interested on how this generalization can be so pervasive in the media and among internet communities despite the democrats getting blown away in the presidential, congressional, and state elections
