There is a sense in which this is true but does need a little explanation, analysis, and evidence. When saying they are \u201cstupid,\u201d we aren\u2019t talking about IQ. There are many Democrats with very high IQs, but having a high IQ is not to be equated with intelligence, decency, or common sense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The problem with the Left, what distorts and warps their intelligence, is their blind rage and hatred. They are so full of maliciousness towards Trump, MAGA, and the \u201cRight\u201d in general, that they are unable to coherently think, properly use evidence, or come to rational conclusions. This isn\u2019t uncommon in human history. Find any people blinded by hatred and you will find people whose mental faculties have gone awry (e.g., Hitler and the Nazis). Conservatives aren\u2019t immune to this, so we need to be careful as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I want to give three examples of utter stupidity that have recently come from the Left. They are in a panic now because they can see they are about to lose control of the House of Representatives and perhaps the Senate as well. The loss of power is terrifying to them; it\u2019s all they live for. So, panic is causing them to say some unbelievably dumb things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">1. The following showed up recently on Yahoo Finance: \u201cAmerica is facing a diaper crisis, and the anti-abortion movement is making it worse.\u201d If this were a joke, it would be funny. Well, it\u2019s funny anyway, but it\u2019s beyond that. America has a diaper shortage (I didn\u2019t know that). It\u2019s being caused, partly, by the fact that not enough babies are being aborted (would Joe Biden\u2019s economy have some to do with it, too? No, no, it\u2019s got to be Vladimir Putin\u2019s fault). Thus, if we abort more babies, voila! No diaper shortage! This needs no intelligent\u2014or any other kind\u2014of analysis from anyone. It\u2019s stupidity, yes, but it\u2019s more than that\u2014it\u2019s desperation. Any port in a storm. Any reason, regardless of how ridiculous, to try to persuade somebody, anybody, to vote for Democrats. I suspect some high-IQ moron thought this up. And I suspect a lot of low-IQ morons will believe it. But if it changes anyone\u2019s vote, then we truly need to pity that person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2. Did you know that your pet is one of the reasons for climate change? CNN says so. A recent \u201cBlazeMedia\u201d headline said, \u201cCNN ridiculed for blaming pets for impact on climate change, advocating \u2018insect-based food\u2019 and adopting small rodents instead of dogs.\u201d Pets \u201cplay a significant role in the climate crisis,\u201d CNN reported. I guess your dog, like your cow, is belching and flatulating too much. At least CNN was \u201cridiculed\u201d for this. But, again, what we have here is panic and desperation. Not only should you eat bugs to save the planet, but you need to feed them to your dog and cat, too. Better yet, adopt a rat. I guess they don\u2019t belch and flatulate. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Again, if this wasn\u2019t so serious, we could roll on the floor laughing at such buffoonery. But these people ARE serious. And that is frightening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3. My third example is a more personal one. I have a blog (access it from the info below, if interested), and I have a wild-eyed liberal plaguing me with comments. Sometimes I answer him, just for fun, sometimes I ignore him. Recently, after I posted an article on Putin and the Ukraine war, he wrote with the usual drivel about Trump being Putin\u2019s puppet, etc., etc. There was also the now-totally debunked, but still oft-repeated, myth that Vlad \u201cDID\u201d try to interfere in the 2016 and 2020 elections, and that when Trump was so \u201cdeservedly defeated in 2020, Vlad the Impaler was so beside himself with an impotent rage that this no doubt. [sic] goaded him into making his catastrophic invasion of Ukraine.\u201d Maybe I have missed something (not impossible), but this is the first time I\u2019ve read that Vlad invaded Ukraine because he was mad that Trump lost in 2020. Well, maybe so. Hard to disprove, I suppose. But, pardon me if I think that stupidity went to seed. I\u2019d need to hear Vlad say that with a straight face, and even then, I probably wouldn\u2019t believe it. But at least there would be SOME evidence for it. More than Mueller found about 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">All of this, as noted above, is motivated by hatred and desperation. When people get desperate, they will say and do desperate things. And as we get close to the midterm elections, and the Democrats increasingly perceive they are going to take a beating, don\u2019t be surprised if you read and hear more such incredulous stupidity from the high-IQ Party. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><em>Christmas is coming!
