    Yeah, because even a moderately intelligent person recognizes him for the criminal fraud that he is. We’ve been saying it from the beginning:

    He’s a stupid person’s idea of a smart person.

    For once, he is right. Anyone moderately intelligent wouldn’t like such a weak con man. He only appeals to weak men.

    Wow… I came here thinking it might be a change from being around right wing websites, but you people have some massive obsession with Donny. You ever get tired?

      I just wandered past from All, but are you seriously complaining about a politics sub posting about a contentious world leader?

        Never in my world have I ever seen people blow shit out the ass the way you people react about 1 president . I thought George Bush was idiot in my days, resulting in 2 wars and hundreds of thousands of deaths.

        Just purely anger from you people.

      What you see here is the reaction to actions made by your cult leader. Now go back to fox to continue your brainwashing.

    Pol Pot would supposedly round up and execute people wearing glasses because they were seen as “intellectuals”.

    You are not as far from this as you want to be.

    Logical run through:

    *His statement: If you’re smart, you don’t like me.

    *Contrapositive: If you like me, you are not smart.

    Got it.

    Almost there Donnie… What’s the conclusion?

    Also, you’re a child rapist that is still using the government to cover it up.

    The third feature of Fascism.

    Irrationalism also depends on the cult of action for action’s sake. Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation. Therefore culture is suspect insofar as it is identified with critical attitudes. Distrust of the intellectual world has always been a symptom of Ur-Fascism, from Goering’s alleged statement (“When I hear talk of culture I reach for my gun”) to the frequent use of such expressions as “degenerate intellectuals,” “eggheads,” “effete snobs,” “universities are a nest of reds.” The official Fascist intellectuals were mainly engaged in attacking modern culture and the liberal intelligentsia for having betrayed traditional values.

    Ur-Fascism by Umberto Eco

      I do have to wonder what a society looks like when every decision is always pulling the trolley lever
