No one was really surprised when someone famously called out
during the Republican primaries, when a would-be candidate was asked what poor
people without health insurance were to do, “Let them die!” and the audience laughed
heartily, not nervously, not in shock, and not in embarrassment.
It is not as though conservatives have been hiding what they are and
what they want from America, you know.
And the poor whites among their base stay loyal.
Well, as the Republicans themselves are among the first and
most frequent to point out, those people are exceptionally poor in large part
because they are exceptionally stupid.
Stupidity, they point out, does not pay well, and even has
its own special costs.
When you’re right, you’re right.
One does have to recall, from time to time, that intelligence
is roughly normally distributed and half the population is even stupider than
the average fellow.
A fair number are a lot stupider.
