When will we call stupid by its' name?

 

I was pleased to see that after 3 years the media is finally using the term “liar”. I am still wondering when they will start using the word “stupid”.  The GOP has done an incredible job of getting the 50% of the population of below average intelligence to vote by scaring them.   For example: Trumps latest ad shows Joe Biden telling a lie in 1987.  They had to go back over 30 years to find this when we can go back about 10 minutes to show Trumps latest lie.  Does anyone actually believe that abortions are going to stop just because we toss doctors and women in jail?  How are “they” going to take the guns away and live to tell about it? The intelligence of the Sturgis bikers is obvious with the lack of helmets.  Trump boaters with wakes big enough to swamp other boaters is stupid boating.   We’re seeing truth in the old saying that ‘If you’re going to be stupid, you better be tough”.  It should be obvious that we have to get out the intelligent vote in order to counter the ignorant.  I’m reminded of a Nelson Mandela quote: “The world is not divided by religion, race, or sex; it is divided into the intelligent and the ignorant.  The ignorant divide the world by religion, race and sex.”
