Guys, stop responding to the pathetic pissant troll. Hell look at how he chose the "let's go Brandon" of usernames because he's too chickenshit to openly tout his white supremacist dick sucking by going with what he is "stormfront-groupy"

This person is not mentally well.

All the signs of delusion, paranoia, cognitive dissonance, sociopathy, obliviousness, derangement, senility, disturbed, and neurotic signs are there. Did I miss any?

I like that colour scheme. It makes the US look like a tasty corn-based snack product. Trouble is now I'm craving some.

It's an interesting game just reading the responses to crazy guy, and trying to extrapolate what kind of lunacy he's coming out with in each post. Just have to resist the temptation to click 'see ignored posts', because it always turns out to be nuttier than I guessed.

A friend e-mailed me this chart earlier today.

What's interesting to me is that for decades I assumed that conservatism in general appealed to the less well educated, and vice versa with liberalism. Well, that was not true as of 2010. In 2010, those with high school or less were considerably more likely to be democrats. Well, now in 2020, that has flipped entirely, as with all other categories of education. Also, polling data shows that after being white (i.e. race) low education was the single most predictive factor in voting for Trump. Remember when Trump said "I love poorly educated voters?" He had good reason.

Trump has clearly lured poorly educated democrats while sending well educated republicans fleeing to the other side. The obvious conclusion is that Trump's brand of know-nothingism, which seems to be the general direction of the republican party right now, is incompatible with being knowledgeable about the world and thinking critically, which are both products of higher education.

The conservative counter-narrative is that college brainwashes people into liberalism because of its "liberal bias." But that assertion has been made for decades. It was being made when college educated people were evenly split between the two parties. So it is clearly incorrect. The problem for the educated wasn't conservatism per se. It is Trump's noxious brand of it, which is fast taking over the entire American right.

What do we do about this? It seems a lack of higher education leaves people vulnerable to being duped by Trump and this insane conservative propaganda. Maybe Bernie's idea of free college for all is something we really need to look at, in spite of its high price tag.
Not all Republicans are not well educated, there are those that are very well educated and talented.

He says with a double negative contained in a run on sentence.
My uncle from Texas voted for Trump and he immigrated to the US in the 80's. He is currently a big cardiologist in Houston. He once even spoke in the parlament of the country he immigrated from.

Is he still being chased by the Yakuza?

Every fascist movement needs its skinheads aka uneducated sub average intelligence brutes with violence as goto communication mechanics, ready to do what the puppet masters dont have the sack or stomach to do themselves.

GOP: now the party of the ill-educated ???

It's much worse that that.
Educated or ill educated.... it doesn't make a difference to them.

My 35 year old niece is educated, owns her own successful business, yet she believes the Q. The Q i.e. the earth is flat, the bible is faked, democrats drink blood to stay young, Joe Biden is a robot, Donald Trump is still the president (sometimes I wonder...), and after Trump returns in all his glory all of us democrats will be shipped off to Guantanamo to be executed for our crimes of child trafficking.

Oh yes... If you're a democrat didn't you know that you traffic children?
Hell, and why not? It sure beats being a Qpublican any day. And we democrats can sure use that extra money. ;)

I have been voting for the Demonrats all my adult life, only because 1 of the parties went insane before I was born. I am to the left of FDR so the run of the mill Demonrat really has nothing for me but I can't bring myself to vote for bat-shit crazy. Bernie was the first major candidate in my adult life who actually spoke to me. I am altruistic purely for my own selfish desire of not dealing with people that are desperate enough to try to fuck with me and make me do things that I swore I would never do.
