Trump Says ‘Smart People Don’t Like Me’ - Lemmy.World

Lemmy

I mean, he’s not wrong…
even broken clock is correct once per day…
Twice per day
Let's settle it in at least once per day.
I have never seen an analog clock like that. That’s awesome!
Now make me a 24-hour sundial
Twice for 12H or once for 24H
Not mine! It’s stuck on 88:88

Must be a common defect with those number panels, his have been stuck on 14:88 for decades.

For the unfamiliar...

It’s some Nazi shit. ‘H’ is the 8th letter of the alphabet so 88 = “HH” = “Heil Hitler”. 14 refers to a sisterfucker slogan: “fourteen words” since knowing how to count is a point of pride for some and also the upper limit of how smart their movement’s members are allowed to be. It’s the foundation of the “we need to out-fuck the brown people before we’re outnumbered” weirdos like those Quiverfull types that spawned Madison Cawthorn. You are now cursed with this knowledge.

Hey now, let’s not insult sister fuckers by comparing them to nazis.
That part came from an American domestic terrorist.
It’s always 88.88 somewhere! holds up drink festively
This more like: sometimes a calculator can be a clock.
Trump is a clock that looses 1 minute per day and is only right once every 2 years
yeah this might be the first time I agree with him?
He’s too stupid to understand why, though.
He loves the uneducated.

Afterwards, in a speech to supporters, Trump touted how many different demographic groups he won in Nevada, declaring that “We won the evangelicals. We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated,” before exclaiming “I love the poorly educated!”:

Did Trump Say, 'I Love the Poorly Educated'?

Trump's "poorly educated" line sparked much reaction, including smirking and shock.

Snopes
I still remember watching that speech the next day
I must be really smart

Lmao what a turd. I would love to boot him right in the dick.
It wouldn’t do any good. None of that equipment has worked for a long time
Shit! Finally some truth to this!

He’s told the truth 2x in one week.

The prior truth he said was that he doesn’t care to unite the country.

So, by definition, the people who do like you are…
There are two kinds of people, those that can extrapolate from provided data and Trump supporters.

As… ridiculously fucking stupid as this sounds, it is what his base wants to hear.

They don’t see “smart people” and think “people with an above average IQ” (and they sure as fuck don’t understand what “average” means). They see “intellectuals” and “college students” and “pink haired people”. Which is exactly what they want to hate.

They desperate for the world to be simple so that their simple, “elegant” solution and “clean, traditional living” or whatever the hell else they got going on is justified. But also they’ll ignore any times that indigineous are right about things like caring for the environment in simple, clean ways.

Put it short, they just want to be validated without putting any work in. Saw too many movies they thought were documentaries.

They desperate for the world to be simple so that their simple, “elegant” solution...

Tbh, that's most people, most of the time.

Sure, but that doesn’t excuse anything. And if a solution looks to good to be true then you gotta back it up with studies and trials and evidence not just feelings and decades of complete failure. UBI is an elegant and simple solution and tests for it have gone well. Getting rid of regulations and taxes and expecting trickle down economics and the free market to make everything wonderful is the realm of the stupid and insane.

So even if it is “most people” there’re still two groups within it.

I'm not disagreeing! A long time ago there was a very popular tv commercial with a big, red "easy" button. It was popular because most of us wish for it, while understanding it's the work behind the scene, often for years, decades, that makes the magic. Imagine if all we leftist regular people had the will and fortitude to get on board with the ones doing the heavy lifting what we can accomplish! It doesn't mean we'll even live to see results, just that we can envision a better future for everyone, if we just keep working for it...
“Desperate” though? Most people aren’t out there living in a false reality in order to accomplish it.
Our problem is, despite shocking "alternate realities" occasionally bursting through our own carefully cultivated protective bubbles, we still refuse to acknowledge that people are, in fact, doing just that, and it doesn't matter if they're the majority. They're the loudest and most persistent, and that's what got us where we are. HRC was so confident the Don couldn't win, and I expressed alarm and said he was going to win and people poo-poohed and hand waved my concerns aside. And here we are and people are still too busy looking back, being mad an unwinnable candidate lost, while Charlie Kirk is dead, the left and LGBTQ are being banned, and Nick "I fucked your movement” Fuentes ideals are still winning.

they just want to be validated without putting any work in

It’s just this.

Only problem is we think they are wrong because they are
It’s disturbingly similar to Mao’s Cultural Revolution and the extermination of the bourgeoisie. Trump’s christofascists have the Seven Mountain Mandate and the Maoists has the Four Olds.
Seven Mountain Mandate - Wikipedia

This is one of the best summations of Spotify I’ve seen lol. It hits so many of the hot points

With just a tweak.

Smart people are people who think they are better than them. That’s why they hate them.

Many who “like” him are just riding the grift train.
I love how he outright calls his supporters morons and they are still too dumb to get it.
NOBODY IN THE ROOM got it? Or they all don’t like him?
That’s NOT True! I’m a Mexican Immigrant with an Undocumented Wife and I’m planning to VOTE for your for a THIRD Term if ICE lets me!
Imagine telling on yourself like that
This should say something. Instead, his fans will basically say, “that’s why I love him!” Completely missing the joke they just made at their own expense. Or getting the joke and not caring. Which, itself, is also a joke at their expense.
Why aren’t the people who love him going, “Heeeey!” Or do they know they’re dumb? That would mean that Miller, Bannon, Zuck, Guiliani, Theil, etc. are being called dumb and are okay with that.
They’re too dumb to realize the implications of his comment.
He's insulted them all a lot more, and more personally, than that in the past, and they've just lapped it up and begged for more.
They’ve made intelligence offensive to their in-group. They’re proud to be unintelligent, and just the insinuation that something is “too smart” let’s them know it’s to be attacked.
There are smart people in trumps camp. Ambitious, unprincipled, unscrupulous, power hungry demogogues fully willing to use him for a leg up for power.

I think his recent stroke gave him a moment of clarity.

Wait no, it was just a fart.

Is there more than a 4 second clip of this? I’m interested in hearing a bit of context before I start trolling maga people with it.
Correct! You have to have the IQ of a slug to like Trump

I baited a Tesla Truck on the offramp to that was behind me tonight. Riding my ass so I gassed it. Right lane was clear. Slowed to 55 right as all lanes were blocked next to large uhaul in the second to right lane.

I’m sure it was some random Asian women (the demo I see driving them the most for some reason, wtf Seattle?).

Anyway. It was pointless. But I frustrated them. Idk why I’m sharing this.

When I was in South Florida it was definitely maga dumbasses who were in them.
That means a lot about what he thinks of those who like him.
That's what she said. No, really, Jasmine Crockett said the same!
