I can’t think of anything to write today so instead I am offering proof positive about how utterly stupid at least a select sample of Trump supporters who go to his rallies are. They have in common stupidity but sometimes with an umbarrassed helping of homophobia.
This analysis is thanks to Jordan Klepper’s segment “Fingering the Pulse of Trump Supporters on Impeachment” on The Daily Show. It proves that Trump supporters who go to his rallies are:
- stupid,
- ignorant,
- dense,
- brainless,
- mindless,
- foolish,
- dull-witted,
- slow-witted,
- simpleminded,
- empty-headed,
- vacuous,
- vapid,
- halfwitted,
- idiotic,
- moronic,
- imbecilic,
- obtuse,
- doltish;
- gullible,
- naive
- thick,
- dim,
- dumb,
- dopey,
- cretinous,
- birdbrained,
- peabrained,
- pig-ignorant,
- slow on the uptake,
- soft in the head,
- brain-dead,
- boneheaded,
- lamebrained,
- thickheaded,
- chuckleheaded,
- dunderheaded, and
- muttonheaded
To be fair, I am sure these interviews were selected to show the most outlandishly Beavis and Buttheady people. Or maybe it was a difficult task to decide which interviews to omit and which ones to include.
Perhaps the Beavis/Butthead rating scale of rally attendees is skewed so far to peabrained muttonheadedness side that you could interview 50 people and only a handful would have reading and intellectual comprehension above a fourth grade level. See: At a fourth-grade level, Donald Trump connects to voters, Seattle Times.
I ran Donald Trump’s debate answers through the same program, called the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level. It turns out the front-runner for the Republican nomination for president of the United States is speaking to us as a fourth-grader.
Most of his answers ranged from third-grade-level language to fifth, while his rivals tended to range between sixth grade and 10th.
Just saying. Enjoy the impeachment and be mindful your own stress levels. Here’s a good Psychology Today article on impeachment angst.
