LOL! When Trump supporters call themselves Sapiosexuals [View all]

An old HS acquaintance on Facebook posted a meme about her being a Sapiosexual and I about spit my soda out. This person literally ONLY dates racist redneck types and while I tend to avoid her page she mainly posts Trump idiocy and racist crap about his border wall etc. I am seriously at a loss at how out of touch these folks are. The dunning–kruger effect is really quite terrifying!
