It ain't easy being dumb. Tough to hold down a good job, you don't always "get" stuff, and smart folks laugh at you. You get called stuff like White Trash, Hillbilly...Deplorable. Late night comics use you as a punchline.
But you’re aware yer no genius and don't pretend to be--you're smart enough to know how dumb you are. But not enough to understand what a malleable mind is or grok 'crowdfluencing' as a sociopolitical tool.
And along comes an idiot just like you, only wealthy and he's running for Office. Except, these Real American Politicians are Ivy-Leaguers who dumb themselves down in a performance for your vote. But not their Leader, he's a bona-fide idiot to the core. Kinda makes you feel important for the first time in your voting life though.
Change is scary for the under informed. Folks just get used to the new way of doing stuff, learn the words/actions that are newly taboo and then the rules change. The pace of progress is intimidating for that certain sector of scaredy-cat citizenry, having been terrorized nightly by a media designed to warp minds & sicken psyches so that all life's ills are the Left's fault, and any sliver of good that falls in your lap you can thank the GOP for.
This twisting of truth and mainstreaming alternative facts was prefaced by the hypnotic drumbeat of "Fake News". This was pounded into the populace to funnel fans to Fox News and their ilk for a daily infusion of propaganda informing them as to whom to hate, what to be scared of and the appropriate level of fear to tremble under. Cut to ads for drugs and Doomsday supplies.
And then there’s the sex stuff. Conservatives have a sex obsession, from perceived prepubescent passions in children's books to green M & M's they see sex everywhere and it scares them. How can people be ‘in the mood’ when there are so many reasons for fear & panic? Don’t they know folks are leaving the church and all our hand-baskets are on auto-pilot? They have a burning need to be in the nations bedrooms and referee the goings on for signs of insufficient godliness. For them, life begins at erection and any act where procreation is not the intention is an affront to the Almighty SCOTUS.
This must be a difficult time for the faithful...the Fox Church was fined $750 Million for lying to them all along, and the brilliant billionaire businessman they worship is exposed as broke. How do Real American Patriots reconcile these facts? They can't simply plug ears and chant "Fake news" since these inconvenient truths come directly from The Cult leaders themselves.
So how are the red-hatted rural jurors coping with the needle of truth popping their simulated reality bubble? I'm waiting for a NOMAD-type meltdown induced by Kirk's logic loop as they ster-il-ize each other while Mike Johnson cries "Cut it out fellas, willya?", desperately trying not to dwell on the sexy thoughts that erupt whenever he says 'member-on-member action'.
