This is true, but also I think he's further exposing just how much our population has dumbed-down. And it's not just him. It's the fact that Hillary, Sanders, Trump, etc. are even major contenders.
This is the problem with the discourse, I don't agree with you or whoever and I somehow must be fucking stupid.
I've got a damnned genius level IQ, tested. I have a 22 year career in engineering and management. I am a Commercial rated pilot with flight time in more than 40 different make/model aircraft. I have started and purchased businesses, employed people, managed multi-million dollar programs in the aerospace and defense fields.
I have specific reasons for most of the choices I make in life, and that includes political choices.
This is what is wrong with us as a divided people - it is not just a lack of respect for people of differing opinion, it is an outright pathological compulsion to denigrate them, demean and dismiss them. Call them names. Insult their intelligence, to malign their education and to mock their choices with no respect for how or why they arrived there.
It calls to the worst in us and I am fucking sick and tired of it.
