I suppose since this playbook has worked well for them in the past they are recycling
it again.
That's because Americans ARE stupid... DEMOCRAT Americans.
If you screen racism long and loud enough the black Democrats are too stupid to realize that no we're not as racist as they think
If you scream NO ONE IS ILLEGAL ON STOLEN LANDS long enough the Democrat Hispanics and indigenous Indians they too get stupid and think that Republicans are all against them when they're not . Republicans are actually for the Hispanics who have come to this country and come in legally not swimming our river not swimming the Rio Grande not jumping our fences coming into ports. This is the difference.
Yes Americans are stupid but it's not the Republicans. Even the Democrats say so.
"What's the other thing we know about this population? And it's a specific phase of life... THEY ARE STUPID. That's why we put them in dormitories, and they have resident assistants. They make really bad decisions!
- Kamala Harris(D)
"Call it THE STUPIDITY OF THE AMERICAN VOTER or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to getting the thing to pass."
- Jonathan Gruber(D)
The Democrats used to be the party of the guy with the lunchbox. Now, they've become the party of the guy with the diploma, and UNrightfully so, I might add.
They're always saying how dumb Republicans are because not as many of us go
to school as they do and that's Just asinine and the biggest fucking lie.
They always seem to conveniently forget, they are the party of Blacks and Hispanics, And that's not being racist that's just being factual. Blacks and Hispanics rarely, if ever go to College and finish.
Many, way more than Whites, don't even finish HIGH school.
When they complain about "uneducated" people voting for the other side, they're talking out of both sides of their mouths. They need Black and Hispanic voters to win, but many of those folks are working-class people who didn't go to college.
You can't call the working class "stupid" for 20 years and expect them to
keep voting for you. That's why you're seeing the numbers shift. People are tired of being lectured by folks who think a degree makes them better than everyone else.
When Democrat-aligned media or leaders talk about uneducated voters being the problem, they usually mean white voters in the Midwest or South.
A huge part of their base, specifically many Black and Hispanic men, do not have a college degree.
When the highbrow wing of the party looks down on people without degrees,
they end up insulting their own voters. This is why we're seeing more
minority working-class voters move toward the GOP lately; they don't like being talked down to.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy
from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received positively by TDS'ers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late- night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
