When you have nothing left but fear and hate…
you forgot stupidity
One could argue that stupidity is just a lack of intelligence, so it's not really something you have.
if you weaponize lack of intelligence, you have stupidity
No, that's ignorance, which is not a moral failing. These people are stupid. Willfully-ignorant, head in the sand, turn their heads, keep others from bettering themselves, stupid.
Ignorance is not having knowledge, you can be both stupid and knowledgable or intelligent and ignorant. Not knowing how to wash your clothes is being ignorant, not being able to figure out how to wash your clothes is being stupid.
EDIT: Not to mention that someone can be stupid in one area and insanely intelligent in another. It's not a direct personality trait, although people will probably categorize other people based on the categories in which they are one or the other.
Nothing left but fear, hate... and also, if polls hold, the senate, the house, the presidency, and they already have scotus, state-level politics, and huge tranches of circuit courts.
Yes, they're going to be crying so hard after they read all these dank, critical memes. That'll show 'em!
You forgot stupidity
You can say that again...
