America, you?re stupid: Donald Trump?s political triumph makes it official ? we?re a nation of idiots - Salon.comI hate to have to say it, but the conclusion stares us in the face: We’re a stupid country, full of loud, illiterate and credulous people. Trump has marched straight to the nomination without offering anything like a platform or a plan. With a vocabulary of roughly a dozen words – wall, Mexicans, low-energy, loser, Muslims, stupid, China, negotiate, deals, America, great, again – he’s bamboozled millions of Americans. And it’s not just splenetic conservatives supporting Trump or your garden-variety bigots (although that’s the center of his coalition), it’s also independents, pro-choice Republicans, and a subset of Reagan Democrats.
Salon has just accidentally announced that Trump has a broad coalition of support. If Republicans were smart they'd ride this wave to the White House.And it’s not just splenetic conservatives supporting Trump, it’s also independents, pro-choice Republicans, and a subset of Reagan Democrats.
Human beings in general are stupid. What else is new? :shrug:
Not sure about that.We know there are enough morons in the GOP to nominate him, but I don't think there enough morons in the nation to elect him.
The 'P' word!Very well said. He whitewashed you guys wholesale.

The truth is - it WAS stupidity that allowed Trump to rise.
It was a stupid Administration (and their stupid followers) that ignored, condescended to and shamed a wide swath of Americans.
I'm an atheist, but even I knew how stupid it was for Obama to single out a huge group, claiming they clung to their "guns and bibles." You're right -- that was stupid. That was followed by the stupidity of calling innocent folks, "racist." Another stupid move.
Yes, stupidity was the catalyst behind Trump's rise.
Oddly enough, they're still doing it.
I guess stupid never learns.
Yes. It's all Obama's fault that the GOP are a bunch of morons about to nominate a vapid populist fascist.
:roll
Donald Trump is a whole new level of stupid. He's not a conservative, he's hardly a republican, and he's garnered mass support by saying racist, high emotional things without proposing plans or putting forth an effort in critical thinking. People buy into supporting him because of his unintelligent, blunt way of putting things and it spikes their emotions to think they'll kick out all the Mexicans and build a 20' fence around Mexico and China and making America great and ban the Muslims and blah blah. The fact that Donald is on top of the GOP speaks to how many Republican voters appeal to nothing more than emotion and fiery rhetoric over substance or principals.
Bernie Sanders is somewhat similar, but the thing with him is he's consistent and sincere with his campaign. He may be a high emotion single issue candidate but I think he means what he says and his record shows one of democratic socialism.
Hillary is your typical establishment Democrat, at least she's got experience and tries to argue intelligently.
Trump on the other hand speaks to everything that is wrong with American voters and American politics.
Very well said. He whitewashed you guys wholesale.

60+ million stupid people were whitewashed by and voted for Barack Obama. Why should Salon be surprised that there are stupid people voting for Trump?

If you cant see the difference, you're probably part of the problem.

Coming from one of the aforementioned to someone who is neither of the aforementioned, I'll take your post as a compliment and an affirmation of my point.
Thanks for the response, Ms. Palin.
