Voters are Dumb
Posted: 25 Feb 2024, 06:27
"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." ― H. L. Mencken
"It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so." ― Ronald Reagan
Reagan was absolutely right.... but over time, certainty about false conclusions is contagious. Conservatives and Christians are not immune to the generational influence of false education.
And since the time of Mencken and Reagan, we've invented the Internet. Which has given voters the attention span of a gnat. (Mencken's generation never heard of "tl;dr" -- even though many did not have even a high school education.)
Anyhow, just for fun.... Let's list evidence that voters are dumb. I'll start:
1) Voters have forgotten all about the disaster and tragedy of Afghanistan.
2) Voters think Trump will destroy our Democracy.
3) Voters think Trump will fix all of Biden's problems, just because Trump fixed some of Obama's problems.
4) Biden believes that many voters will accept that "Bidenomics is working." He's probably right.
That's just off of the top of my head. Got any more?
