hey look, he spoke a truth, those are rare

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 45 points 2 days ago

Smart people despise him

He's beneath contempt

The stupid love him, because they don't understand just what a failure he is

They can relate, because they understand nothing but bluster and aggression

They will forgive him anything, as long as he tells them that their hatred isn't just right, it's righteous

It's not gonna help the people who like him, but the contrapositive of that statement (which bears equivalent logical truth) is "people who like me aren't smart"

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 days ago

I don’t think it hurts them. They will acknowledge they aren’t the smartest, and they aren’t the richest. They see themselves as salt of the earth, real people, real Americans. “Smart” people are bad, not to be trusted. Like vaccines, and evolution, and higher education and book learnin’.

Because that’s how monsters react to horrifying news

[–] nozone@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago

Some of them are rich bastards who support him to make money and they actually hate him but money is money. They don't even care.

The rest are so genuinely stupid that they can't figure out that he just called them dumb.

[–] DarkDecay@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Because they like him. Therefore they are not smart people

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 days ago

Only stupid people like you because they are fucking stupid.

I'm sure plenty of dumb people hate him too since he's making them all look bad.

That's like when Frogface said Londoners are too intelligent to vote for UKIP.

Damn right we are.

So what was the actual context of this? It's funny and true out of context, but I'm curious what the question was, or whatever it was that preceded this.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I would also like to know. Because even though it's absolutely true he was probably mocking someone or something. Not like he's trying to admit his cultists are morons

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I think he actually is

He's dumb enough to do so

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago

And his cultists are dumb enough to let him get away with it even if they actually learned about it.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Thing is, I don't think he himself is smart enough to understand that he can mock them. 🥴

Then again, I may be wrong. He did understand the fact that you can just grab women by the pussy if you're powerful enough.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 days ago

Been trying to find that out since yesterday. I want more of the spech so I can see the context.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 6 points 2 days ago

Why, thank you.
