The Greatest Ally of a True Idiot is.....

Picture
​The greatest ally of a true idiot, is their fellow idiots. One idiot tells a story, which is then picked up by random idiots, and then spread among their fellow idiots. Each stage in this process is reliant upon individual idiots who share a like mind. (Or would that be mindlessness?) In this way they can build a case for their beliefs based on agreement, which is assumed to be fact. Otherwise, how could so many idiots be wrong? That is the case with the Trump/Russia conspiracy theory. 

Now, the people at the top of the food chain know that this story is bullshit. But, their followers, the true believers, they don’t know this. They sit by the television, waiting for evidence which is never forthcoming, but there is innuendo. And, when all else fails they can say “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire!” This constitutes evidence to an idiot. Because an idiot thinks evidence is listening to the people they agree with, say things. “Did you hear that?” An idiot will ask. This is followed by a chorus of idiots agreeing. They heard it too, so it must be true. 

When the senator from California, Diane Feinstein was asked about evidence regarding Trump’s alleged collusion with Putin, she admitted there was no evidence, but she qualified her statement with “As of yet.” For her and her fellow idiots, this meant “We don’t care if there’s no evidence. Do you know how much money we've raised on this one issue? A lot! Plus, if we drag this on for another three years, lets say, we just might be able to take back the white house. And that’s the important thing. Not the business of running the country, but of ruining the country for political gain.” And then she and her fellow idiots roll around in so much money, they could only laugh and praise idiocy as the best thing that ever happened to the democratic party. 

I’m not suggesting that republicans or independents don’t have squadrons of idiots, as well, because they do. But the left has the best kind of idiots. That being highly educated idiots. You’ll never find a greater selection of idiots than those in high places, including high level academic idiots. These people are so smart, they’re dumb. And, as such, they are completely unteachable. Here are a few things you'll hear high level academic idiots say; 

“Don’t try and tell us there are only two genders! There are at least 57 genders. Maybe more. Using the wrong gender pronoun is a form of violence. Furthermore, fart-rape is real. A tax cut is stealing from the government. Yeah! That’s the ticket. And, the more regulation by government, the greater the individual freedom. How about this one; Military weakness is our strength. Or, Islam is a religion of peace. And a full burka with only a slit for the woman’s eyes, is a form of feminism and enlightenment. Unlike American fashion, which is racist, representing the patriarchal hellhole that is American life.” 

Need I say more? Probably. But I won’t, except every damn one of these things is the purview of the left. But a true idiot probably doesn’t know this. Because….well, they’re idiots. Did you expect it to be otherwise? You don’t have to answer that question. The answer is obvious enough.
