GW Bush was president when the Germans attacked Pearl Harbor.
I read about it in Freepville.

(49,052 posts)There IS fixing uninformed. People can be told. Then they can become willfully ignorant if they choose, which is another kettle of fish.
Stupid? Not much fixing available, but even there, people can be taught logical, clear thinking. If they don't think they are stable geniuses.

(22,183 posts)say that this guy's life is going to change for the worse when his family and friends see how dumb he really is, on national TV. Can't say I'm sorry, because I'm not. If you're going to speak out, at least be aware of the facts before you go preaching to others.

I know they're all idiots but that is scary. They do walk among us.
...and it's not some late show skit. They really, really are that out of touch with reality and the truth. Like KellyAnne said, "Alternate facts."

I had one say to me that if anyone tries to remove Trump from the WH, they will "rise up and protect him, form a wall around him..."
This was was said to me not in regard to impeachment, but about Trump losing the 2020 election.
friend of m and j
(220 posts)This would be funny if it wasn't so scary. I saw a news report yesterday that they were replacing the wall surrounding the WH from the existing 8ft wall to a 13 ft. wall.

(5,812 posts)Dotard lovers scare the shit out of me. While I hate that orange piece of shit, violence is not the answer to removing him from office. Would totally make him the messiah to some. LOL, betting Dotard believes he would rise from the dead!

TruckFump
(5,812 posts)It's stunning the load of crap they have floating around in their heads where most have gray matter instead.
Why are they so open to this kind of crap???? It's not like the truth isn't out there -- they just shun it, not simply ignore it or contradict it with a screwed up explanation. Easier, I guess, to be spoon fed lies by Faux Snooze than to seek the truth.

NastyRiffraff
(12,448 posts)It's one thing not to know history from, say, 75 years ago (or 100, 500, 1,000 years). It's another to be clueless about something that happened much more recently. These people aren't kidding; they really don't know that Obama wasn't president on 9/11/2001 or that he was 14 years old when the Vietnam war ended. Plus, they're proud of their ignorance.

Iterate
(3,020 posts)** as explained to me in 2016 by a young guy who didn't like his election choices and wanted a do-over. No doubt who he actually voted for.
When I told him that didn't happen and asked for his source, he mumbled something about Obama voting and making laws after midnight.
Then he told me to do my research.
Fantasy land...totally!

KPN
(15,668 posts)people who are "fed up with the system". We gotta fix that. The only way I know how is to live up to our word -- do what we say we are going to do. The only way to do that is to harness their power -- people power. I hate to say anything that isn't horrible about tRump, but we gotta do what he is doing ... rallying the troops at every turn, taking the fight to the street every day.
I'm not saying we (as a party) never do that. I'm just saying we can do it better and more consistently.
Yes, many of those who are young -- which being in my 70s denotes a lot of people -- are turned off by the system. They seem to figure that it will continue to be "business as usual."

(15,668 posts)them to actually vote in 2016 -- or at least they said they did.
ps -- not far behind you agewise (68). And I have always voted though I do understand and assign some (not 100%) legitimacy to their sentiment.

(32,626 posts)it's getting more difficult to determine the truth, even when you're open to it, and actively seek it. So much of what people think is reinforced by all the noise they subject themselves to.

I have often thought, in my 4 decade career in pediatric health care, that it is rather to bad that the mechanics of sex do not require written instructions. Were that the case, there would be a whole lot of people who couldnt figure it out, and the human race might be better off for that.
