Trump Voters Are Sensitive

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.
