But, this is some of what we are up against, in 2020. I wish I knew what was on that other sign he seems to be holding. Or, on second thought, maybe not.

[True Dough]

1. Flashback!

[malaise]

2. He's showing more nipple

than Ivanka

[zentrum]

44. LOL!

[riversedge]

52. I wish I could unsee that!

[Butterflylady]

63. Oh my!!!

Lol didn't see that till you pointed it out. Typical repug. Not only stupid, repulsive.

[malaise]

64. Repulsive is the word

[ret5hd]

3. "Nip-Slip Nathan"? "Illiterate Ivan"?

[Roland99]

7. Oh eeeewwww!

Now I can’t unsee it!!

[Newest Reality]

4. EEEE!

He's having a wardrobe malfunction to go with it.

It is rather pitiful, really. Simple minds. I have no problem with that other than how it affects us all politically. Sad!

[StarfishSaver]

5. He seems nice ...

[rpannier]

40. Looks like a character out of either the Dark Knight or Teen Titans

Can't remember which though
He does look similar to Mister Mxyzptlk

[Roland99]

6. Can a human actually possess a NEGATIVE IQ??

Yea, verily

[Lucky Luciano]

73. Technically yes. Each standard deviation is 15 points...so this fellow who...

...May very well be 7 normal standard deviations to the left might just be a -5 IQ.

[pwb]

8. So clever? Not.

.

[hlthe2b]

9. We laugh and ridicule, but how frightening that there are so many this ignorant out there

(and probably "locked & loaded" with their NRA signs prominently displayed)

[Pacifist Patriot]

10. and they vote

[hlthe2b]

11. and at this point are totally uneducable.

[Raster]

16. ...and breed, unfortunately.

[Newest Reality]

23. And...

I think that was taken into account when those Forefathers debated how the system was going to work, although the idea was about the common person in general.

Today, there is little excuse for so much ignorance and lack of critical thinking and so, the indictment is about willful ignorance ensconced in superficial bias. That could be argued as not fulfilling one's duties, (to be vigilant and informed) as a citizen in order to maintain freedom and the other values we stand for. That's a failure on their part.

[paleotn]

43. Obviously.

As an example, I give you Alabama and Tennessee. Not only does this flotsom vote, they vote regularly. Their old, white and have nothing better to do than sit around in a perpetual state of pissed offness and vote every 2 years.

[Siwsan]

14. It took a couple of 'reads' for me to make sure I'd caught everything

To be honest, at first, I wasn't even sure about this individual's gender.

[The Liberal Lion]

72. agreed

see post 71

[vlyons]

12. When I see people like this, I think this Buddhist prayer

May the dark delusions of all sentient beings be dispelled.
May all beings enjoy profound radiant glory.

[hlthe2b]

15. Not to be flip and that is a wonderful sentiment.

But, though it is incidental to the point you are making, I can't help but think this guy probably doesn't know the difference between a Buddhist and a Muslim.

This level of determined ignorance remains beyond frustrating. Buddhists would remind me that we can only make a change within ourselves and thus only impact how we react to such people, but it surely doesn't change the harm we experience from such ignorance.

[vlyons]

29. Welcome to samsara

I keep forgetting that I am in samsara, the realm of suffering. So when something ugly, like that poor slob's stupidity and hatred appear before me, I am reminded not to be surprised that we're all here in samsara. Yes the harm we cause ourselves and others is all around us. Buddha did not say that life is great. Do you really think that you have just the right words to change that guy's viewpoint? I certainly don't have that ability. I would probably say angry snarky words to him, hardening his position even further. So my best course is to work on correcting my own faults and short-comings. BTW: Anger is my most frequently-experienced negative emotion. I do a lot of spiritual work around anger. I have not yet been completely and perfectly victorious over anger. But I keep practicing at perfecting the patience to not be agitated and disturbed by it.

[grantcart]

87. Nameste

[renate]

89. I love that post and that prayer

It certainly feels better—lighter, freer, more compassionate—to think that way than to feel anger and contempt. Isn’t it strange how it’s so tempting and easy to slide into bad feelings rather than the good feelings that are just as accessible?

Thanks for the food for thought.

[vlyons]

93. It's all about one's point of view.

We can train our minds and choose to have a different point of view. But will we? My experience is that negative emotions, like anger and greed, are mostly just unconscious long-running bad habits. First comes the intention to change. Then comes the hard work of changing. It's why I tell people that Buddhism is not a religion, but a practice.

[Ohiogal]

13. And his vote counts as much as mine.....

[TidalWave46]

17. We should be able to win this guy over. NT

[klook]

22. LOL, obviously a swing voter. (nt)

[TidalWave46]

25. 10 Playboys, pack of cigarettes, and tell him you agree...

Greta T should be spanked for being s bad girl.

[BootinUp]

62. My side is hurting. Rofl.

[no_hypocrisy]

18. Down there with "Get a brain, Morans."

[CTyankee]

19. Oh, Siswan, why do you do this to me? Why, oh, why? You seem like such a nice DUer...

Now I cannot unsee that nipple...the horror, the horror...

[Siwsan]

21. Well, I DID give a warning!!

[CTyankee]

37. oops...sorry, yes you did!

Send that shot to Stephen Colbert...his audience would go nuts over it...

[Norbert]

20. Daddy

[ornotna]

55. Probably the same guy

He hasn't aged well.

[aggiesal]

95. Can't stop laughing, brilliant!

[samnsara]

24. he should not vote or breed!

[spooky3]

26. Why does he need two pairs of glasses? Nt

[rzemanfl]

27. Confusion of bifocals with bisexual? n/t

[llmart]

30. Actually, I think there's three pair.

Maybe he thinks it makes him look smart.

[spooky3]

74. I think the pair on his hat are sunglasses. Nt

[llmart]

90. Yes, I saw that but they're still glasses.

[usaf-vet]

76. Actually three pairs. Check his hat.

The preferred GOP voter. An IQ equal to the number of fingers and toes. Keeping it simple.

[The Genealogist]

28. Oh, such a sick burn. This man is far too clever for me to understand!

My librul elitist mind cannot wrap itself around such deep wisdom!

[Cirque du So-What]

31. ...

[FakeNoose]

32. Oooh it burns! Someone please hand me the eye bleach

[jcgoldie]

33. Hope he brought enough glasses!

WTF?!?

[MineralMan]

34. He done left out the "c" in "Tractors."

Not too bright, that one.

[rpannier]

47. Could be he left out the po

potrator

[argyl]

35. Mt. Eyesore. Elevation 6'0".

He did spell pledge and allegiance correctly though.
That's a surprise.

[world wide wally]

36. A picture is worth a thousand words

[rpannier]

42. He is a comic character

Mister Mxyzptlk

[rpannier]

38. Damn. Guy found out I'm a Trator

Is it you or your. I can't tell because of his finger. Though I think it is you

[mysteryowl]

39. So, an illiterate, ignorant, illegitimate president does not bother him in the least.

This guy sat in class and studied about as much as trump did.

[UniteFightBack]

41. Nice Nip ya got there pappy. nt

[paleotn]

45. Poster child for the Rethuglican base.

This is the kind of galactic stupidity we're up against. 30% of our population are that fucked up.

[rpannier]

48. Check out the sign being held by the person behind him and to his right

[BSdetect]

46. Tratortots

[IronLionZion]

49. This is why it's pointless trying to flip Trump voters

and better to encourage higher turnout from our side

Misspelling Traitors is expected, but I'm impressed he got allegiance. It would be funny to ask him to define Republic and Democracy and see if he knows.

[Pepsidog]

50. Dumbfucklickens

[BootinUp]

51. Has enough brain cells to rub together anyway. Nt

[H2O Man]

53. Recommended.

The search for the "missing link" is over.

[seta1950]

54. 🤮

🤮🤮

[Hermit-The-Prog]

56. another Koch Industries, Sinclair & Murdoch product

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/sep/26/koch-brothers-americans-for-prosperity-rightwing-political-group

[GoCubsGo]

57. Oy.

[SCVDem]

58. Why would we need a separate pledge?

It's the same flag. (Scary)

Now grab your Shine and I'll explain Democratic Socialism to ya.

His head will pop like "Scanners"! (movie)

(You know you're old when you have to explain your metaphors!)

[LittleGirl]

59. Well, at least he shaved his face.

He looks like he’s holding in a fart.

[GusBob]

60. You cant make fun of nipples on DU but its OK to laugh at the mentally ill

Eom

[iluvtennis]

61. one word, idiot. nt

[lunasun]

65. These angry asshole losers are very politically involved now and will vote

Don’t vote ? These folks will




Plus don’t forget the ones that can read and spell (well maybe) . We are up against many factions trump attracts in the 2020 election

[bubbazero]

66. oh dear god

Truly, one of the best arguments for the prodigious use of BIRTH CONTROL ever

[chwaliszewski]

67. no words...

In the world of physics, there is a limit to how cold something can be. It's called Absolute Zero. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there is no limit to how hot something can get. Five trillion degrees? Double it.

*sigh*

In the world of human intelligence, I feel like there is a limit to how smart someone can be. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there is no limit to how stupid/ignorant someone can be. (See OP photo)

[Buns_of_Fire]

68. Now, don't y'all go making fun of Matt Bevin's new campaign manager. nt

[PatSeg]

69. Oh that is so sad

Hilarious, but sad.

[Bayard]

70. Awwww....... nuts.

He's in KY. Bevin sticker.

[The Liberal Lion]

71. I actually felt sorrow

This man is obviously a failure of our society to insure that all citizens, regardless of background, have the opportunity to receive the best education available and further at least every citizen is fully literate in American civics. I'm not trying to make a funny. This is the work we must do so that our citizens may never again be preyed upon by the evil we are witnessing now and are burden by as a society.

[kimbutgar]

75. Someone missed civics class in high school

Ignorance on steroids.

[Siwsan]

80. My suspicion is he missed high school. Maybe even some of middle school.

[George II]

77. Here is that guy's son:

[Elwood P Dowd]

78. Isn't that guy a newly confirmed Trump appointed federal judge?

[Chemisse]

79. Looks like Mommy should've gone easy on the alcohol while you were in utero.

This is not just a lack of education; it's a lack of deductive reasoning ability.

Republicans have exploited the "low information" people among us.

[NurseJackie]

81. Vomit inducing.

[WhiskeyWulf]

82. Someone needs to talk to this guy about the side-boob. nt

[TNNurse]

83. Do not zoom in on his neck, just don't.

I warned you.

[Siwsan]

84. Perhaps this event happened just before his annual bath?

[Beartracks]

85. Too bad they don't even have their own country, cuz this is a democracy.

========

[Siwsan]

86. It appears that he believes it's a repubcracy

It's bad enough to know he might just vote. Also consider that he probably drives, and has bred.

[rickyhall]

88. Another moron with a sharpie

[NellieStarbuck]

91. He misspelled "tractors".

[jmowreader]

92. There's only one acceptable response to this

“Nobody is really that stupid.”

[captain queeg]

94. I just realized what that idiot was trying to say

Had to read it several times since it doesn’t make any sense. I’ll guarantee he has no idea what the definition of Republic is.

[Captain Zero]

96. IQ is 91 on a good day

Which are few. About 84 most of the time. Really observant guy, huh? He noticed the word Republic is in the pledge. Doesn't notice his moobs falling out of his tank top.
