Lot of stupid in Cedar Rapids

Published on Jun 23, 2017
Evan McMorris Santoro went to Cedar Rapids, IA and sat outside Trump’s campaign rally in a booth to find out if attendees really hate the media.

1. Wow - Glad I did/wish I didn't see that. No words.

well, just a few words. I guess it's good to know what we are up against...but it is so, so depressing.

[Sneederbunk]

2. And we take the Iowa caucuses seriously?

[cyberswede]

4. You'll find idiots like that in every state

[Vinca]

3. I hope the stupid isn't contagious.

6. I realize this clip is edited

But, why does stupidity and ignorance not cause physical pain?

7. How the hell can you reason with people who only watch RW media ?

8. You can't. You have to mock them and marginalize them to make them go away.

Forty years ago, Republicans and Democrats alike mocked the Birchers knowing them for the freaks that they are. A Bircher couldn't get elected dog-catcher in a neighborhood populated by Ayn Rand, Victoria Jackson, the Koch Brothers, and the Moral Majority. It was when the mocking stopped that the Birchers and other crazies like them started to infiltrate the office of dog-catcher, the school boards, and the state legislatures. Talk radio kicked it all into high gear, and once the Fairness Doctrine was tossed aside, the sky was the limit to seize the federal levers of power and construct right-wing media outlets with a built-in audience of stupid and cruel people. Reason and kindness are not in the DNA of these people, but they are all driven by fear. Therefore, they have to be called out and suffer brutal humiliation to make them scared shitless to even think about doing something politically ever again.

9. For the Trumpers, I think you are right, but they are going to continue to appear mainstream until

those "normal" Republicans stand up. Just Democrats alone won't be able to do it. How that happens, well maybe things need to get a whole lot worse first. Even worse than it is now.

13. Totally agree. +1000

[maxrandb]

10. We need to use clips of these idiots in sane areas

Against the Retrumplicans just like they use Nancy Pelosi in racist redneck Congressional Districts

11. Very familiar, and it's not merely the ultra stupid

There is an accelerating anti-media theme among one block after another. I see it on every message board I frequent. The right wingers toss in anti-media obsession regardless of topic. They emphasize it every 5 or 6 posts or so like they're trying to memorize dialog and then pat themselves on the back as they agree with each other.

It absolutely should be mocked, ruthlessly mocked. So much ammo and logic. I do it on those sites and they clearly don't like it, but they merely regroup and start backslapping even more than normal.

[Ligyron]

12. Yeah, but it's so much fun, isn't it?

They got nothing and it's so easy to push their buttons!

[yuiyoshida]

14. They grow up watching Fox News... they don't watch

anything else. They grew up listening to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, what do we expect? Reasonable people?
