How stupid are the American people?

[kentuck]

To let an unstable psychopath tell them what medicine or what vaccinations they should give to their children?

Pretty damn stupid, in my humble opinion.

1. As I have to remind a co-worker ALL THE TIME

100 is the AVERAGE IQ of all adults in the USA.

We tend to work with talented and intelligent people ( let's say 135+ IQ )... some of whom we believe to be "morons" ( ok, likely 110 to 120 IQ points ). He likes to complain about those.

I do understand, but the stats are the stats... 100 is only the average IQ, which means 1/2 fall underneath that number ( with a large random sample size ).

4. And according the this study, the average in the U.S. is only 97.4,

with Japan and Taiwan around 106.5. We're 29th, behind N. Korea and Slovenia.

2. Stupid enough to elect that specific motherfucker, twice.

Very, very fucking stupid.

3. Some are so filled with hate they are willing to sacrifice their children for the cause.

Anything to own the libs.

They are truly crazy.

Like Charlie Kirk said, children being killed is a small price to pay.

5. Depends...Americans aren't a monolith.

I figure 5% of the US population is mentally or emotionally disabled to accept him on face value and follow everything he dictates. That's a potential 20 million true believers committing lingering suicide by politics. Another 10% are cult-adjacent or identify with fellow-travelling cults to various degrees.

20% of the US population are cynics or nihilists will use his ravings over those 10% - 15% cultish followers and assorted cultish fellow travellers for their own profit. They may, or may not support the GOP or MAGA or other Nationalist/Isolationist cults; their primary objective is using "the system" to make profits.

30% -35% of the US population recognize him as a direct threat to themselves, their communities or the United States as a either a democracy or otherwise an environment they can thrive in.

And 20 -25% either are living in a private bubble or don't care/can't participate in US Democracy and have isolated themselves from everything outside their immediate concerns.

8. They were taking horse dewormer instead of a vaccine

To protect against a virus they think was a hoax. . .

11. Love this

I'm gonna steal your quote for use in conversations with my maga comrades.

Also, they say Dump deserves a "Noble" prize for developing the vaccine. While at the same time saying how horrible the vaccine is and how it has killed more people than it helped.

Cognitive dissonance

Just like how the January 6th rioters were FBI agents and ANTIFA....BUT Dump had to pardon all of them for what Patriots they all are.
