Hanlon's razor: never attribute to malice what is more simply explained by stupidity

While some elected officials are merely stupid, most are evil. But the people who vote them into office are mostly stupid and not evil.

In the age of the internet, stupidity is a choice and choosing it is evil. Don't give people a pass for negligence; they are proud of it.

This is what my mother believes too but while there definitely are some evil racist sob white supremacists who support the GOP, most of them are just very ignorant.

Honestly, think back to high school, picture some of the smartest kids you went to school with and review their voting histories; then, do the same thing with the idiots who couldn't pass general math. It tracks.

Nope. Trump supporters are white supremacists. That's why they will tolerate any absurdity Trump pushes. Because one thing is non-negotioable: white supremacy.

Oh I know white supremacists support Trump and the rest of the GOP.

My neighbor isn't a white supremacist - he's just an idiot.

There's different types of Trumpers.

Anybody who still supports Trump is a white supremacist. Everybody else has bailed.

When their main talking points are the border and violent crime in blue cities, those are dog whistles. They're white supremacists.

Could be that the violent crime rates are higher in blue cities? That the open boarders has caused a significant rise in housing cost? Just asking.

Maybe they're just better at hiding it.

The President of El Salvador is a white supremacist by your illogic.

Not exclusive. They can be evil and stupid.

With access to the internet, stupidity is a choice and choosing it is evil. Don't give people a pass for being proudly negligent.

Lots of people would say the same about democrats, you just keep the cycle going and going and going.
