1. But remember!

It is not nice to call them stupid

[SHRED]

6. I've been scolded here for that

[LonePirate]

8. Fuck those ignorant, bigoted deplorables!

[Stellar]

19. How about dumasz supporters?! nt

[world wide wally]

20. Works for me

[Cha]

2. Yep.. we'll see if that gets them

jobs, food, and shelter.. health care.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

3. And they're proud of their ignorance.

[spooky3]

4. Willfully ignorant. I don't know how anyone can

Reach them. I wonder what percent listen to RW hate radio.

[world wide wally]

7. Should we try our hand at fake news maybe?

At least they might believe that.

[spooky3]

12. One frustration for me is that

The evidence suggests that BIG lies are very effective with these people. Promise that you'll being their jobs back, that you'll get them or their kids free tuition (with the current Republican Congress--yeah, that's doable), that you'll deport all those nasty immigrants, etc. They'll vote for you!

[world wide wally]

14. Then once we're elected we do whatever we want

I like it

[TwilightZone]

5. These are the people we're supposed to reach out to and convert to D.

Are some of them salvageable? Probably. Is it worth the time to try to figure out which ones, or is our time better spent on the people who didn't vote this election who usually are reliably D?

Hmm, that's a tough one.

[roamer65]

9. It all goes back to the repeal of the fairness doctrine by Raygun.

What a useless sack of shit he was.

[Feeling the Bern]

10. And I'm supposed to believe their side is equal to mine. Fuck these people and fuck these

false equivalency assholes that believe both parties are the same.

[RB TexLa]

11. Meth is a powerful drug

[NanceGreggs]

13. THIS is what we're up against.

THIS is the real enemy - The Stupid.

You can't reason with them, you can't educate them, you can't counter the bullshit with facts - because they have their own "facts".

These are people who think the earth is 6,000 years old, because the Bible says so. These are people who believe Alex Jones is telling them the truth that the gov't is trying to hide from them. These are people who respond to those emails from the Ethiopian prince whose uncle left millions in a US bank account, and actually send them him their banking information. These are people who think ALL welfare recipients are black, and they spend their welfare checks on big-screen TVs and crack.

These are people who know that Trump outsources jobs to low-wage countries, and still believe he's on the side of the working man. These are people who heard the pussy-grabber tape, and still insist that Trump is a good Christian who was "chosen by god" to lead them.

You can't fight The Stupid. You can't convince them that Democrats are the "party of the people" because those latte-lovin' liberals are always giving their hard-earned tax dollars to lazy moochers, and funding drive-through abortion clinics.

The Stupid aren't ashamed of their stupidity. They wear it as a badge of honour - and it's an accolade they don't want taken away from them.

They will literally believe anything, as long as the person telling the tale is as stupid as they are.

15. Prof Dunning himself warned back in May that the Dunning-Kruger Effect explains Trump voters

The Psychological Quirk That Explains Why You Love Donald Trump

The popularity of the GOP front-runner can be explained by the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

Many commentators have argued that Donald Trump’s dominance in the GOP presidential race can be largely explained by ignorance; his candidacy, after all, is most popular among Republican voters without college degrees. Their expertise about current affairs is too fractured and full of holes to spot that only 9 percent of Trump’s statements are “true” or “mostly” true, according to PolitiFact, whereas 57 percent are “false” or “mostly false”—the remainder being “pants on fire” untruths. Trump himself has memorably declared: “I love the poorly educated.”

But as a psychologist who has studied human behavior—including voter behavior—for decades, I think there is something deeper going on. The problem isn’t that voters are too uninformed. It is that they don’t know just how uninformed they are.
...
Again, the key to the Dunning-Kruger Effect is not that unknowledgeable voters are uninformed; it is that they are often misinformed—their heads filled with false data, facts and theories that can lead to misguided conclusions held with tenacious confidence and extreme partisanship, perhaps some that make them nod in agreement with Trump at his rallies.

Trump himself also exemplifies this exact pattern, showing how the Dunning-Kruger Effect can lead to what seems an indomitable sense of certainty. All it takes is not knowing the point at which the proper application of a sensible idea turns into malpractice.
