The opposition is extraodinarily shallow



Tuned into Bongino today, and it is somewhat amazing how insulting he is to the opposition. But not without reason. Here's why.

The deeper you dig into what he says, the more it all checks out. These people are DUMB. They are dumber than a bag of rocks. Not only that, anybody who knows anything about anything will quickly recognize their stupidity.  Recall that one of these people said that Guam would tip over if too much weight was put on one side of the island.

Here's the additional problem. You see, these folks at the top of the Democrat leadership are counting on people to not dig down any further than the headlines. So they see the headlines, and if they go no further than that, they will not see the stupidity and the deception. You have to dig deeper to see it.

An example making the rounds on Twitter ( and was referred to by Bongino), was the questioning in Congress. The Democrats were so dumb that they had a couple journalists laughing at them. It all in Twitter now. Anybody who bothers to check into it will find out for themselves. Yours truly didn't even know that, and so shame on me. As soon as I dug in, I could see it too.

I don't want to knock myself too much here. It isn't as if I am being fooled by these people. I am a bit worried that too many people ARE BEING FOOLED. The reason for this is that they don't dig down deeper. Something is keeping them from seeing what they need to see. It has all of hallmarks of stupidity, but they can't be THAT dumb.

The questioning is of Matt Taibi, and it is about Twitter. If you're keeping up at all, you'll know about this. You'll also know that Taibbi is not a conservative. I'd bet that his cohort in the questioning ( my bad, I don't know his name) is not conservative either. Neither is Bari Weiss ( I'm guessing she is not). So these folks are not "far right extremists". Well, the Democrats on the panel din't even know who these people WERE. They're in Congress. They are in leadership positions. Yet, they are UNINFORMED. Call that whatever you want, but it ain't smart.

Consequently, those who show approval of Brandon and his crew are probably reading no further than the headlines. If they are, they aren't going to be informed because they listen to people who either aren't informed, and/or they are lying.

I recollect a line from Animal House, where Dean Wormer says you shouldn't go through life fat and stupid. Well, you've got an entire country that seems to be stuck on stupid. Brandon is at nearly 50% in the Rasmussen Poll. Why? Because the people who approve of him don't know what's going on. In my opinion, it is as simple as that.

The sad and worrisome thing is that they'll never correct themselves. They'll even defend this. If you bring it up, they'll concentrate on you being mean to them. To put it succinctly, that is what cancel culture is all about. It's about enforced stupidity.

If you can't dig further than the headlines and actually think through a situation, what hope have you got for the future? If this cannot be turned around, it doesn't bode well for us going forward.
