Stupid-Americans are the new Irish-Americans. And Donald Trump is their JFK.

So sieht's aus, nur dass das meiner Meinung nach nicht auf Amerikaner:innen beschränkt ist, sondern die ganze Welt betrifft. Der ganze Post strotzt nur so von zitierfähigen Passagen, ich schnapp' mir mal die hier:

It’s probably got something to do with the internet, where stupid people can find and repeat stupid things to each other over and over and over again. But whatever the processes are, they’re surely processing. The main thing that makes this development less obvious than it would otherwise be is that while Irish people use the word “Irish” about themselves, and gay people use “gay” - stupid people don’t, for reasons of basic self-esteem, describe themselves as “stupid.” Instead they call themselves things like “real Americans”, “patriots” and “independent thinkers” to connect and explain facts that they’ve known about themselves their whole lives: like how much of what socially recognized “smart people” seem to say feels boring, confusing and annoying and how people’s faces change expression when they, the stupid, try to share their own opinions on things.
