    Wow… I came here thinking it might be a change from being around right wing websites, but you people have some massive obsession with Donny. You ever get tired?

      What you see here is the reaction to actions made by your cult leader. Now go back to fox to continue your brainwashing.

    Logical run through:

    *His statement: If you’re smart, you don’t like me.

    *Contrapositive: If you like me, you are not smart.

    Got it.

    It’s fucked up that he says it like it’s some sort of flex, and his cultists eat it up.

    I know that there has been a demonization of higher learning for a very long time in Conservative america. But I’m floored by how pervasive it’s become that a vast majority have been completely gaslit by it.

    I’m gonna give him credit here.

    It’s the first truthful AND self-aware thing he’s said his entire term.

    The third feature of Fascism.

    Irrationalism also depends on the cult of action for action’s sake. Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation. Therefore culture is suspect insofar as it is identified with critical attitudes. Distrust of the intellectual world has always been a symptom of Ur-Fascism, from Goering’s alleged statement (“When I hear talk of culture I reach for my gun”) to the frequent use of such expressions as “degenerate intellectuals,” “eggheads,” “effete snobs,” “universities are a nest of reds.” The official Fascist intellectuals were mainly engaged in attacking modern culture and the liberal intelligentsia for having betrayed traditional values.
