I laughed so hard I scared the dog.

HOW? how do people believe this? I mean, seriously did they just break the knob off on the old black-and-white on the Fox channel?

A lot of Trump's policies, the tariffs being a perfect example, rely on the ignorance of the general population.

It's scary how tremendously well this has worked out for him.

A lot of Trump's policies, the tariffs being a perfect example, rely on the WILLFUL ignorance of the general population.

Again, it's not that many of them can't understand these things, it's that they won't.

That’s what “anti-woke” means. Willfully ignorant. Deliberately destructively stupid. Head in the sand. Dumb.

What did you expect? "Welcome, sonny"? "Make yourself at home"? "Marry my daughter"? You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.

Mel Brooks was a genius. And the delivery made it even better. Watching them both lose it makes the entire scene.

It also highlights that this type of anti-intellectualism is a cornerstone of the social fabric of our country.

The morons part of the line was unscripted. That's why they laughed like that. I love it was so brilliant that it was kept. Doesn't make it any less true.

Thats what makes them even worse. We can't even blame it on innocent buffoons just not being educated enough, they actively avoid even accidentally becoming educated. Its like they know that if they become smarter they won't be able to believe all the dumb shit they believe and that would be boring.
