It’s an age-old question: Are Democrat politicians really that stupid, or do they just know their voters are? There is no wrong answer.
Joe Biden personifies this dilemma – a wildly stupid man with full-blown dementia, it’s tough to assign motive to anything dumb he does or says because it could be either of those options. He’s been dumb much longer than he’s been senile, but he is very senile. It’s impossible to know which factor is more to blame for his, say, ignoring the existence of his grandchild Hunter had with a stripper then denied the paternity of. Actually, in that case it could just be that Joe Biden is a jerk.
Other politicians, those with a sense of self and awareness of their surroundings, make it difficult to know if they’re really that dumb or they know their followers are.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a prime example. She is profoundly stupid, seemingly ignorant of history is every conceivable way, but so are her followers. Is she a leader of the dumb or an echo of them? It’s tough to say.
Only someone profoundly stupid could condemn Israel, then when pressed to explain herself run and hide behind the skirt of “I’m not the expert” on the subject. With idiotic declaration after idiotic declaration, you’d think her acolytes would begin to notice she’s about a bright as a black hole, but then if they had two brain cells to rub together they wouldn’t look to her for anything.
Then again, if any Democrat had an IQ larger than their shoe size they would never nominate, let alone elect, anyone like Eric Swalwell. Swalwell needs slip-on shoes as him tying to tie a shoelace could easily end up with him losing a limb.
While the same could be said for many Democrats – Maxine Waters, Chris Murphy, the entire “Squad” all come to mind – Nancy Pelosi was never among them. She may be the only Democrat for whom the question is easily answered: she’s a lot of things, but she’s no dummy. Evil? Sure, but not stupid.
That’s what makes her latest post-election fundraising emails so odd. It’s not that they’re dumb – if you want to con Democrats out of their money or get them to go deeper into credit card debt you have to appeal to really stupid people – it’s how stupid they’ve gotten. These emails have always included basic concepts and ideas (you wouldn’t want to confuse people), but they don’t often include something obvious or easily verifiable…until now.
Pelosi writes, “I want to pull back the curtain and explain why I need your $15 before tonight’s End of Month Deadline.” Considering she’s worth between $200 and $300 million, she does owe people making $30,000 per year an explanation as to why needs their money rather than using some of her own, right? Well, to say it’s a weak explanation is an understatement. She continues, “1) Democrats have a historic shot to EXPAND our Senate Majority with a win in the Georgia runoff. 2) In an EMBARRASSING turn of events for House Republicans, their majority will be one of the slimmest in modern history.”
That last bit struck me as particularly stupid. Why? Well, because the Republican majority in the next Congress is going to be, at a minimum, the exact same as it currently is for Democrats under Pelosi. Republicans will have at least 220 Members (possibly more, if some states ever learn to count votes) and Democrats currently have 220 Members. If what Republicans will have next year is “EMBARRASSING” (Pelosi’s caps lock, not mine), what is it when Democrats have that many?
The fact is having a slim majority didn’t stop Democrats from ramming whatever they wanted through the House. Republicans won’t be able to do that because they aren’t a hive that unquestioningly does what they’re told, but on the issues they agree on there’s no reason to not ram it through. Democrats’ cries should serve as nourishment, not deterrence.
Since Democrats control the Senate and White House, nothing the House passes will become law, but Pelosi treating her base like they’re idiotic little kids who can be tricked into giving through stupid means is…well, actually probably pretty accurate. They really are that gullible. The lies Democrat leaders need to tell their drones are the raw hamburger surrounding the pill a dog has to take. That the dog then opens up its wallet and gives them money is a testament to just how stupid some of God’s creatures are.

After watching what’s going on in Arizona, who believes Nancy has any real supporters. This whole thing has been rigged for a long time. Somebody blow the whistle.
David Ray says
Her supporters have been breainwashed into leftist dogma beginning in the 1st grade.
The idiots stay.
The smart ones tire of stepping past piles of homeless, piles of shit on the sidewalk, piles of regulation, piles of new taxes.. They leave for red states.
Nancy’s base are brainwashed adherents who always ask for more kool-aid; never ask if it’s toxic.
(To be fair, Baltimore has lower I.Q. voters. That city has been looted by Democrat mayor’s & congressmen for decades, turning it into a cesspool slum. Voters don’t care.)
The March Hare says
The DemonCrats have had their boots on the necks of their “peasant classes” forever and have developed a large group of cities made up with heavy black populations that they can control and contribute to swinging the state to their favor for national elections and movements.

Saw this on another site but expresses my conundrum precisely –
I’m not dumb enough to vote for the democrat party.
I’m smart enough to know the republican party sucks.
I am left without a home or choice.

For Christ sake, Nancy Pelosi is a blown alcoholic who isn’t doing much better than Biden in the cognitive department. OF COURSE, SHE’S STUPID, ALCOHOL ATE HER BRAINS.
Also, anyone voting that dumb woman back to Washington are also, STUPID, AS IS NANCY’S HUSBAND WHO IS ALSO AN ALCOHOLIC AND WAS PLAYING FUN AND GAMES WITH A NUDIST GAY FOR PAY PROSTITUTE.
The era of these sick people is coming to an end, as we vote in more conservatives to take back Congress from the pedophiles and those profiting on Wall Street because of their positions, not because they are astute investors.
And here again we have Nancy and Paul playing fast and loose with the rules governing Congress members about Insider Trading which they both had been doing from the beginning of Nancy’s reckless employment in Congress !.

After these last two fiascos, i.e. “elections”, it is apparent that there is wholesale voter fraud/ballot manufacturing going on. No way does it take over 1 month to count votes from a state with 7 million population (not voters, population!) Even California got it done in a day or so, Florida in hours, NY in a couple of days… But AZ? They still haven’t got a definitive count and the obvious question begs an answer. The answer is they haven’t been able to insert enough legal votes to certify, and they don’t want a recount as that would blow their scheme. Just like Biden got 82 million votes? Yeah, sure, right, whatever.
TRex says
Makes one wonder if the problem is how to come up with more illegal votes or how to hide the legitimate ones. Either way, it’s clear something fishy is going on by those in control of the process.

Nancy Pelosi is a person who has done a lot of damage to America during the time she has been in office. Why would anyone have any respect for her or her husband. The United States is headed toward a financial collapse and I for one do not see that scenario changing in the future.
As for the 2024 election, nothing will change in Washington regardless who wins. Both major political parties have a me, myself, and I attitude toward the American people.

THE Left, “FASCISTIC SOCIALISTS”/AMERICAN MARXISM are at their very EVIL. They see themselves as the latest “great hope” for Mankind. As “true Believers and the legion of fellow travelers who have been inoculated for yers after year through the use of INDOCTRINATION through PROPAGANDA to immediately genuflect before THE myopic, delusional, corrupt, fraudulent very destructive THE BIG LIES and tyranny.
ARE? they just IGNORANT or are they truly STUPID? CAN? they change? ARE? they capable of change? WOULD? they change given the opportunity? If you listen clearly to WHAT?: they say, watch intently to WHAT?” they do, their ACTIONS?
The FINAL decision/CHOICE resst with WE, the PEOPLE.
