and I was afraid the neighbors would get mad listening to me. Where do you get your news? From my neighbor. Where does he get it? The computer. And those three minutes really suggest that Donald Trump is going to clean up down there.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Isaac Asimov

They all say "I think" - and that's good enough; no additional information needed.

"What do you think of Nikki Haley?" I voted for her.

Nikki Haley is in an interracial marriage with a white guy.

The stupid, it burns.

Must be because we "waste too much money on education..."

These clowns remind me of republicans in Indiana who dislike Arabs, yet voted for Mitch Daniels as governor. Mitch Daniels is an Arab.

"We spend too much on education."

"Government is the worst thing about our country...the citizens should be running our country." (Like the wild west?)

"I believe he's a Kenyan."

"I believe he's a Muslim & that he spent too much time with his father."

~ and ~

"I get my news from Fox."

from a man who's active in his local Republican party.

All these people are parroting what they heard on RW TV and radio.

It's kind of fun working over these types as they spout slogans and talking points but can't argue underlying issues.
I like to invite discussion with ground rules of- no talking points, no slogans, no racism/hate.
Truly shows the power of the RW media to move the masses against their own best interests.
Mebbe that's why pugs are so intent on destroying public education.
