Some of them are rich bastards who support him to make money and they actually hate him but money is money. They don't even care.

The rest are so genuinely stupid that they can't figure out that he just called them dumb.

[–] DarkDecay@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

Because they like him. Therefore they are not smart people

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 28 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It's not gonna help the people who like him, but the contrapositive of that statement (which bears equivalent logical truth) is "people who like me aren't smart"

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 10 points 4 weeks ago

I don’t think it hurts them. They will acknowledge they aren’t the smartest, and they aren’t the richest. They see themselves as salt of the earth, real people, real Americans. “Smart” people are bad, not to be trusted. Like vaccines, and evolution, and higher education and book learnin’.

I'm sure plenty of dumb people hate him too since he's making them all look bad.

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 weeks ago

Only stupid people like you because they are fucking stupid.

That's like when Frogface said Londoners are too intelligent to vote for UKIP.

Damn right we are.

So what was the actual context of this? It's funny and true out of context, but I'm curious what the question was, or whatever it was that preceded this.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I would also like to know. Because even though it's absolutely true he was probably mocking someone or something. Not like he's trying to admit his cultists are morons

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I think he actually is

He's dumb enough to do so

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 3 points 4 weeks ago

And his cultists are dumb enough to let him get away with it even if they actually learned about it.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Thing is, I don't think he himself is smart enough to understand that he can mock them. 🥴

Then again, I may be wrong. He did understand the fact that you can just grab women by the pussy if you're powerful enough.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 weeks ago

Been trying to find that out since yesterday. I want more of the spech so I can see the context.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 5 points 4 weeks ago

Why, thank you.
