NBC News spoke to 13 farmers across Iowa this week. Eleven voted for Trump in the past and still largely back him, hoping “to God,” as one put it, “that he follows through” on his promises by the end of his term.

    That’s because these people are fucking dumb. There is no better reason for it. Just a bunch of dumb hicks.

    Suffer in torment, the lot of you.

      That’s because these people are fucking dumb

      Cipolla covered this, see #3 and #5 below. I am always guilty of #1 & #4

      These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:

      1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

      2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

      3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

      4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

      5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

      But they are dumb because our government failed them by cutting education. This is a feedback loop and will take generations of good policy to change. I agree if you won’t try to learn the truth then you are doomed to suffer.

    As far ad he is concerned, his term will never end, and he will pass it down to his son.

    He’s wrong, of course, but he has no motivation to follow through on his promises - as if he ever had before now.

    Stupid is as stupid does.

    I’m not one to blame the victim…but when you repeatedly walk back into the pedophile’s house, bend over, drop your panties, and loudly proclaim to the world, “Surely I shan’t be raped this time!” I start to blame you.
