I made a joke on Facebook that poked fun at Trump
voters. The joke was this… Considering
the IQ of Trump voters, I propose that we change the Electoral College to the
Electoral Junior College. I assumed
those that read it would have understood that it was a pun on the word
college. However, it turns out that some
people got upset at that joke. They were
offended that I was making fun of them.
They were quick to tell me how intelligent they really were.
I was polite and told them it was a joke and it wasn’t meant
to offend. That was true. However, their reactions show they deserved
to be offended. They went out of their
way to prove that their IQ was low. They
proved they don’t have critical thinking skills. The amazing thing is, they don’t know they
can’t think critically. It is amazing to
me. I didn’t reply in a manner that
would have offended them. It would have
been like making fun of a kid with Down’s syndrome. There is no sport in that. However, if I would have replied, it would
have been like this:
If you and the average Trump voter are smart, then tell me
how Trumps refutation of David Ricardo is valid. Tell me why a huge tax cut for the wealthiest
people in the country is going to help you.
Show me the economic model that allows massive tax cuts and an increase
in spending lead to balanced budgets.
Explain to me why it is beneficial to destroy NATO, and abandon Japan
and South Korea. Tell me why the 94% increase
in health care costs in the 10 years previous to Obama care is better than the
20% increase in the 5 years after Obamacare.
Explain to me why the climate scientists and their models are wrong.
I have a feeling I know what those answers will be. They are:
Who is David Ricardo?
The wealthy are going to start and expand businesses with the money they
will have. Uh… economic model? That is not going to happen. Obama care is bad, because people couldn’t
keep their doctor and they are paying a lot more for their health care. It gets cold in the winter.
So the answers are: ignorance; ignorance; ignorance; Trump
was lying; ignorance; just plain fucking stupidity. So tell me how the average Trump voter is not
dumb. I am sorry if that hurts your
feelings, but it is an earned title. You
earned it, so wear it.
