What do you think when you hear "voters are smart," "I trust Amer voters".

When it comes to Duers, I trust 99 percent of their opinions. But when you hear a politician state he or she trusts the American voter or that American voters are smart, what do you think?

Frankly, I think many American voters are idiots and believe all the bullshit and cringe when I hear this. Others?

2. I know a lot of Americans

Most of them are stupid, not about everything, but about certain aspects of the way the world is. Most people don't have the time or resources to heavily research all the issues, so they rely on what someone told them years ago, or what they heard on TV. And people have always wanted simple answers to complex problems. And of course, they don't like being called stupid:evilgrin: That's why politicians always tell the voters how smart and wonderful they are.

3. Only half of them are stupid

No need to say which half.
