Take that for what it's worth. Maybe he isn't as ignorant as you guys say he is.
You seem a little bit happy about it? Maybe just more than a little? Just asking, serious question.
Anyway, no, he *is* as ignorant as we say he is. I tell you, if there was a study providing detail on the IQ, level of education and level of income of the typical voter, his side would consistently come lower, except for the odd multimillionaire oligarch.
Elections aside compare Wally (J.D., has had several jobs, has lived in 2 different countries, admitted to practice law in at least 1 state in the US and has done legal stuff in Canada too) and Les (self styled internet alpha male master of the world who "dun need no edukashun cuz AM radio tells it like it is") and tell me who's more educated. The oligarchs counted on people like Les to carry the vote, and so they did.
They're the vote of the uneducated blue collar males who have lost level of life and jobs thanks to automation, outsourcing and corporate greed, they're who have been conned into voting for the same oligarchs who did this to them to begin with, under the promise that harassing a few escape goats (health care, legal and illegal immigration, minorities, etc) will give them their jobs and level of life back.
