"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." - Patrick Henry
Since I am a doubting Thomas who reads, it is important we define 'stupid' based on reality not on one person's comment. Democrats may in some case appear stupid but doesn't that hold true for republicans too. So then that leaves us nowhere. It reminds me of child's, 'no, you are' ad infinitum. Which get us back to reality.
Before Trump ran for president, most people were 'stupid' concerning Trump. I was not a fan of 'the Apprentice'. Struck me as BS since I worked in the real corporate world. But after reading 'The Making of Donald Trump' it told us who he was and it was not pretty, nor honest. Trump lived up to that assessment with his constant lying etc etc etc. He still does.
Does that make his voters and followers still, stupid? Or is not knowing a valid excuse for stupidity. Think hard about it. Below is an interesting piece on those who still follow and those who now think or maybe 'see Trump' for who he is - a better word.
"The problem with Trump is that every time he opens his mouth he says something racist, misogynistic, or, in the past week, downright treasonous that makes me want to crawl under a rock. For the first few years, I would defend his behavior, but eventually I just couldn’t." quoted below
