I started using the "an apple is an apple..." meme is all my FB posts about 45 and his supporters.

It was a big hit because so many asked me what I meant. I explain that it was a CNN ad that addresses several things including the mental derangement of 45 supporters who believe anything and who call the truth "fake news."

Many were surprised because they didn't really get the meaning so i encouraged them to pass it on and explain it to their own friends.

I found out that two of my FB friends were 45 supporters. They had seen the ad but didn't get it. One said it was stupid. The other said it still made no sense. But they now have to think about the message every time they hear some FOX noise.

I think CNN hit a master stroke with that ad and I intend to use it whenever I can in response to Trumpsters. It's a good way to make some of them watch CNN and pull away from FOX long enough to look for the ad. Whenever a few of my RW associates ask what the hell is that apple ad, I tell them to watch CNN to find out.

1. that old SNL skit comes to mind...with Sigmund Freud

...explaining a dream to his daughter: 'Sometimes a banana is just a banana, Anna.'

2. "They had seen the ad but didn't get it."

That's why they're 45 supporters.....lack of intellectual horsepower. In many ways, the '16 election acted as a nationwide IQ test.

3. They have no analytical thinking skills,

they are taught by rote and aren't interested in learning how to actually think. They want the hate and blaming all dictated to them.

4. I call it critical thinking skills

... which amounts to the same thing. Shouldn't high schools be teaching this stuff?

The red hat crowd are consumed by anger and frustration, and they don't even realize it's their own stupidity that's holding them back. Meanwhile Cheeto, Steve Bannon and Rush Limbaugh (and others) just keep stoking the fire and inflaming them.

6. Hmm.. I guess if you're too thick to detect 45's BS

We'll try to stimulate your brain with preschool tactics. Let's start with fruit. Next building blocks.

How could that ad fly over anybody's head?! Who are these people.
