“What was he convicted of?” someone asked.
“He had tattoos on his body,” she replied triumphantly.
“Hey, smartass!” shouted a woman in her sixties, jumping to her feet. “You want to see my tattoo?”
“Lady,” the Trump supporter said. “You don’t know what a tattoo is.”
“Yes I do, I’ve got one!” the woman shouted, tapping her chest.
The Trump supporter dismissed her with a wave of one hand. “I’ve had enough of you Democrats,” she said.
The stupidity of some people in that article is jaw dropping.
Also, if they shout at each other now, just wait for the SSA, Medicare, and Medicaid cuts that make hearing aids too expensive for rural boomers.
Studies show that two out of every three Trump voters are just as stupid as the third one.
Just a matter of time before conservative media finds a suitable scapegoat. They’ll get a wall of “Transgender Mexican ISIS stole the last bits of New Deal social contract” news articles for six months and come out more rabid than when they started.
This isn’t merely “Iowans are uniquely gullible”, either. The toxic nature of modern media is everywhere. And it produces as many Eric Adams Democrats as Donald Trump Republicans.
Most Americans aren’t smart enough to connect the disappearance of Medicaid and stuff to anything.
They’ll just see it disappear, be angry for a little while and write things like “make it make sense”, “a suit without a man” or whatever the buzzwords are then.
Then the next outrage thing comes along and they’ll bite, forgetting what they used to have.
As if MAGAts are sufficiently self-aware to admit they need hearing aids.
