Do you think Deplorables have the intellectual capacity to see the irony ?

Do you think Deplorables have the intellectual capacity to see the irony in Donald Trump hiring one of Bill Clinton's impeachment attorneys and Hillary Clinton's e-mail attorneys ?


They are utter fools. I don't even know how they figured out how to breed.

The upside of being a deplorable is that, when the zombie apocalypse starts, the zombies won't bother with them.

I'm serious. The optic nerves and the associated cranial nerves take up a great deal of brain space. They don't seem to have any left over for reson, logic, curiosity, or comprehension.

Even people with average or above average IQs can twist themselves into pretzels to satisfy a deep need. His devotees want SO badly for him to save them from whatever pain they’re in-economic, existential, insecurity, fear of the unknown, shame, whatever-they literally shut down cognitive functions that otherwise might serve them just fine. It’s a bit like hysterical blindness. So irony would demand perspective and that would be like asking a drowning man to discuss the merits of the breaststroke and backstroke.
