The blaming the "stupid" is blaming the victims. People have been propagandized, overworked, underpaid, poorly nourished, poorly educated for decades, generations. Of course they aren't able to make logical rational decisions, that's part of the plan. Do you blame the swindled or is it really the fault of the swindler? IMHO the blame lies firmly on those confidence tricksters, those swindlers that are robbing the 99% blind. And it does not lie with those who have been starved of food and education, who have to work 3 jobs just to keep the roof over their heads.

Booohooohoooo those poor widdle Twumpers!

Far right voters are often middle class and by no means only represent the poorest of the poor. And you become fascist because you're an asshole, not the other way round. Anybody these days has every opportunity to get informed, that doesn't require a major effort. People who choose wilful ignorance only have themselves to blame.

Sure, what 'evs. Like I said, this is blaming the victims. Or rather some of the victims, as you (assuming you are not in the top 1%) and I will suffer from the upcoming administration's policies, as well. Well, I'm off to get my prefrontal lobotomy, so I'll be blissfully unaware of my victimization.

Meme: "Humans are stupid."

You: "Yeah, well have you considered who's fault that is? Humans, that's who."

Darn tootin’

that's part of the plan.

One who is slightly less cynical might say those are the understood and uncared for consequences of the plan. Either way well said!
