So the MSNBC reporter dude is interviewing a couple of Trump supporters, and

guess who they cited as their go-to sources for proof that Hillary, the MSM, the gov't are colluding against their man... wait for it... wait... Infowars and Project Veritas!

I laughed so hard I nearly choked!

The reporter went on to say that many other Trump supporters think the same thing. The polls are wrong, Trump is winning, its all rigged to make him look bad. They really are the Stoopid Party!

Would be to restore the funds to education cut by the thugs, over the past 3-4 decades. It won't help the fully grown stoopids but it'd go a long way toward preventing the younger and future generations from being so mind numbingly dumb.

would be putting God back into the White House. Completely ignoring the fact that the current occupant and the next one were religious before they needed to pander to the evangelical crowd like Mr. Two Corinthians.

and that Jehova (a Middle-Eastern deity) was lilly-white. To those people, putting God "back in" anything is just coded language for advancing the white supremacy movement.

...and those were crypto-bigots with decent vocabularies.

Those are the irredeemables.

Baked-in, hard-wired nutbars with just enough education to sound coherent.

Their ideological sh*ttiness will end up chasing their poor kids to a coastal city where sane folk are in greater number. Seen it a thousand times.

They will stroke each others ego until Trump loses it on them too. Trump seems an expert at burning bridges.

Whatever happened to critical thinking skills? Now we have half the population who believes that every bit of dross they find on the Internet is the stone cold truth.

Repugs and their incessant, decades long cuts to education funding, along with the RW lying ass noise machine. It's been a systematic, concerted dumbing down of America
