Republican “Patriots” Terrorize America with Calls for Armed Insurrection

41. FTR, I never claimed you wrote it

However, endorsing it is almost as bad.

I am not sure what "ignorance" is supposed to mean. Ignorance is endemic to the human condition. As I would say it in song "Everybody's ignorant, in their own way."

However, those who apparently never graduated from Junior high, like to play a little game of "aha". Whenever they catch somebody who doesn't know something that they know. Something that everybody WOULD know if they just watched Rachel Maddow (or listened to, or read whoever). Then, we, the cool kids in the know, get to point and jeer at them, and call them ignorant as if WE know everything about everything. Put a Scarlet I on that fool and put them on the pillory for an hour (at least).

Stupidity? Let me tell you a little story about that. I was a collidge freshman at the University of Minnesota and some guy was shown on the front page of the Minnesota Daily with a sign that said "honk if your (sic) against Reagan". I, being a young conservative, took this as evidence proving that opponents of Reagan were stupid.

What a fool I was.

Why. when I was younger, I used to believe or say or do six stupid things before breakfast.

Again, though, this is a little game of aha. See, we keep a constant vigilant watch ON OTHERS. Looking for one of THEM to say something stupid or something marginally racist. Something we can construe as either stupid and/or racist. Once we see some evidence, however slight, of that, then we get out the Scarlet R's. And then proceed to brand the entire group of 60 million.

In spite of its huge popularity, I consider such activity to be a stupid, childish, and yes, a divisive game.

Not that my opinion here will change even a single mind. But there it is.
