There is lots of wailing of woe is me, the dumb asses rule the world and you can see the politicians pandering to them all the time.
So, who's the dumb ass when you fail to acknowledge the bell curve distribution of human intelligence which is to say there are just as many ultra-smarts as ultra-stupids so my answer is who gives a rat's ass what the stupids or those who pander to them are doing because they will never change.
You know as well as I Washington has been populated by nothing more than high-dollar carpetbaggers and utter wastrels for the last thirty-five years with neither team holding a line anywhere close to the corresponding party's actual platform.
So my question isn't what the stupids are doing but rather what the fuck happened with the ultra-smarts.
(Ed: falling down on the job)
Right you are, matey.
There's a generic anti-intellectual sentiment to which low-brow but politically-sophisticated leaders have played at their convenience, typically by conservatives because the intelligentsia is strongly-shifted toward liberal thinking.
We know they do this but my question is why does anyone roll over for it. We know the stupids will because you tell them anything and they will believe it but the absence of any substantive protest against it, except notably from Sanders, is like a way-out-West ghost town.
'Going along to get along' only leads to more of the same and it's the weakest of all possible attributes. If you have a problem with something and say nothing about it then it's your problem and not that of the leader.
If you decide to do something then there are two options, do it or bitch about it. For the latter, go online. For my part, I will go out to VA and tell you what I see. Politicians talk but this is real and you know that because I have nothing to sell.
(Ed: you think you are some ultra-smart?)
Nope but I know what I can do.
"A man has to know his limitations"
I know you know who said that.
In case you don't, one more clue.
"In all the excitement, I don't exactly recall if I shot five bullets or six so I'm wonderin'. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you, punk? "
