The Trump Cult is destroying America! This is one reason why!

There is a growing and disturbing trend of anti-intellectual elitism in American culture. It’s the dismissal of science, the arts, and humanities and their replacement by entertainment, self-righteousness, ignorance, and deliberate gullibility.

Susan Jacoby, author of The Age of American Unreason, says in an article in the Washington Post, "Dumbness, to paraphrase the late senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, has been steadily defined downward for several decades, by a combination of heretofore irresistible forces. These include the triumph of video culture over print culture; a disjunction between Americans' rising level of formal education and their shaky grasp of basic geography, science and history; and the fusion of anti-rationalism with anti-intellectualism."

There has been a long tradition of anti-intellectualism in America, unlike most other Western countries. Richard Hofstadter, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1964 for his book, Anti-Intellectualism In American Life, describes how the vast underlying foundations of anti-elite, anti-reason and anti-science have been infused into America’s political and social fabric. Famous science fiction writer Isaac Asimov once said: "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." The ignorant mob is taking over! http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/wired-success/201407/anti-intellectualism-and-the-dumbing-down-america.

You better pack your bags. Maybe your smart enough to figure out what the meaning of that is.

Obviously you've never seen the Democrat base that are so fascinated w/ Bieber's hair, Kardashians fat ass, or Pokemon, whatever the hell that is.
There is only a handful of intellectual elites that are actually part of the Left, afterall you can't run yourselves, and they won't do for themselves.
Hopefully you can see the connection, just ask Margret Sanger the founder of Planned Parenthood.
Unfortunately, they don't need all of you for long.

Yes, my main man, Cool Breeze. I loved the OPP post by, I think, tdnerst, or something like that. Trump is everything the Neo-Nazis love. Check out PBS Newshour from last night. A whole segment about the Survivalists, the White Aryan Resistance, and so on, with flags covered with Swastikas and confederate flags. Yes, there is NO climate change. We all need to go back to our countries of origin to make this a white nation. These people are freaking insane. Inane. Dump Trump. This Orange Man will leave us "in suspense" about accepting the vote of the nation. What an ass-wipe. And, yeah, he's "smart" for not having paid any federal tax. And yeah, everything is RIGGED. He cares only about himself. There is a really funny story in the New Yorker magazine called "The Pences Visit Manhattan". Try to get ahold of it. It's in the "Shouts and Murmurs" section. Trump's son, Eric is sharpening his teeth. Donald, Jr., wants his father (he calls him Furher) out of politics and out of business. Ivanka is at the Trump tower saying that a monkey with a fever could run the family business better than her father. Mike Pence and his wife are eating somewhere (he knows that he will be attending royal dinners, so he is attempting to further his taste buds) and they have tried deep fried mozzarella and chicken wings!!! At The Red Lobster. Oh, my god. It is so funny. Ivanka ends up on the floor, rocking herself. They've fed their father a tranquilizer in his Big Mac to get rid of him. They said he was frothing at the mouth.

Funny that you would try and pin this on Trump, or the Republicans, as it describes the Democrat Party to a tee. Boy are you Democrats confused.

That is one terrifying photograph. People (Americans) need to remember HUAC and those witch trials, not just Hitler and Joe Stalin who killed more people than Hitler. My Rom family (all 11 children) and their parents escaped way before Hitler came to power. They would have been forced to wear brown tags. It blows my mind how the Trumpettes and their ilk (I know that Trumpettes is not a word, but I use it) just cannot remember history and how easily it applies to the Trump. His non-payment of his workers. His latest, great contribution to society - the new Post Office he "built" near the Capitol. What a shmuck. What losers some of these women and men are on OPP. Check out the article I mentioned it is so funny. I cannot send you a link but that's enough information. Who was ranting about Margaret Sanger? Someone on facebook was saying that she was a drug-addicted and alcoholic woman, blah, blah, blah. Who wrote about "the Cult"? I'm going to download the photo. Thanks, Nora.

So, the waker, as you say ~ you are saying that Hillary Clinton is a twisted bitch? Margaret Sanger was not an eugenicist, and I think you must be confused about who exactly is twisted and a liar during this campaign season, as bizarre as it has been. Mr. Trump refused to release his tax returns (because he is "smart"), unlike any other Presidential candidate, and he wishes to keep us "in suspense", instead of stating that he will accept the result of the election because "the system is rigged". Well, his close friend, Mr. Putin, is attempting (and failing) to help Mr. Trump out. Ms. Sanger was not a drug addict or alcoholic (do some fact checking) and Mrs. Clinton is NOT a lesbian) and the one who is sadly and woefully wrong is your candidate. It's is getting funnier to me all the time how this man (the Orange One - your main man) is only thinking about HIMSELF. He doesn't want to do anything for you. It's all about him. He's a classic narcissist. Read an article by Douglas McGrath about "The Pences visit Manhattan". It will amuse you no end. It's hysterical. I suggest you check it out. He's a writer for The New Yorker. It's in the October 10th issue. My regards to you, Mr. Putin, and the rest of the Neo-Nazis out there.

Don't worry, I know EXACTLY who the twisted lier is, by now anybody w/ a clue does.
Did i say Sanger was a drug addict or an alcoholic? No?
As far as Putin there is NO Proof that Russia had anything to do w/ Wikileaks, or ever has.
There is NO Proof Trump has ever even met Putin.
So perhaps it's YOU that should do some fact checking.
Now if you would have bothered to read either one of the links, you would realize Margret Sanger was a racist, a DEEP rooted racist, unlike Trump, who has been ACCUSED of racism, but has never actually said anything racist, as Mexico, is not a race.

As far as reading the New Yorker, why would i want to waste my time KNOWN w/ leftist propaganda?

The woman in the picture above, are you sure she wasn't talking about Bill, he likes the big ones.
If any of you swayable " bucket of losers" base Dems (Hillary's words, not mine) bothered to do research on Trump, you would realize not one of his accusers were on the same level as the women he was dating at the time.
Research Sandra Taylor, Lord knows i have 😉
