How evident this is in the rhetoric that The Elites and The Voice spew. They proclaim that Republican voters (Trump and MAGA enthusiasts especially) are stupid. Uneducated. Ignorant. Deplorable inbred backwoods country hicks with only a first grade education. The sweat of their brow and labor are irrelevant to a functioning society and the progressive future of America. They pride themselves in that Democrat voters (liberals and progressives) are intelligent. Educated. Sophisticated. Republicans are typically tradesmen and Blue Collars that work from paycheck to paycheck. Waitresses in a diner. Laborers in the fields and on the ladder. Hammers. Wrenches. Grease. Those that live middle class and below. “Nobodies”. That sort of thing. Democrats are your CEOs, scientists, doctors, artists, writers, musicians, actors, teachers, and college professors. “Somebodies”. The who’s who of the public eye. There may be some truth to the stereotypes. The Democrat voter base may have enough degrees, PhDs, doctorates, medals, and other accolades to paper their entire mansion from wall to wall. And that may matter in the everyday life of The World. Yes. But when it comes to voting in elections the one thing that they lack is common sense. Something that the Republican voter base is steeped in.

A simple moment in the presence of The Voice can be very revealing. As a matter of fact it is the dead giveaway of the smoking gun. It is the catalyst that determines the intelligence of the republicans and their strength in the voter’s booth, and determines the ignorance of the democrats and the fact that they are indeed… The “Useful Idiots”. The Republican base sets their attention on The Voice that tells both sides of the story. That says “This…” and brings the receipts. The Democrat base sets their attention upon The Voice that tells a distorted story or omits the truth altogether. That either says “This…” and it is a fabrication without evidence, or completely omits the other side of the story to justify their lying narrative. For example- the infamous Charlottesville protest of 2017. In his speech, Trump condemned the White Supremacists and Neonazis that were present. Then went on to say that there were “fine people” on both sides. In context the person of mediocre intelligence saw that he was referring to both sides of the argument. One side that wanted to tear down historical evidence and one side that wanted to salvage it. One side that wanted to preserve history and one side that wanted to erase history. Yet The Voice intentionally eliminated his condemnation. A complete omission from his speech. Then they ran with the narrative that he was labeling the racists as “fine people”. To this very day The Elites and The Voice use this altered example as “proof” that Trump is a White Supremacist Neonazi Racist. Never mind the fact that he donated some of his presidential salary to black colleges. Never mind the fact that he had blacks serving in his cabinet. Something that a racist would never do. However, The Useful Idiots, because they refuse to be educated on such things and only set their attention upon The Voice that distorts reality (which is sadly almost all of The Voice), do not know the truth about the edited video or of the salary donations. Therefore they repeat the same talking points that they hear from The Elites and The Voice. When you try to bring up the truth, they refuse to hear it. Or excuse it outright. Because it is not what The Voice has told them. Therefore it must be a lie. The Useful Idiots either refuse to hear anything other than what they want to hear, or they are just too stupid to figure it out. Either way they cannot think for themselves.

There are those incidents of what we call “The man on the streets”. It is embarrassing to hear The Useful Idiot’s answers when asked “Trump or Kamala?”. When asked “Why?” Kamala supporters typically answer with “Ummmm…”. When asked about her accomplishments, they usually are dumbfounded and speechless or simply walk away. Sometimes, though, they can muster a “Her greatest accomplishment was becoming Vice President!”. Never mind the fact that she was only picked because Biden said that he would choose a “woman of color”. Some may even cry out “Being nominated to run for president!!!”. We won’t talk about the fact that she was appointed by The Elites without a single primary vote from the American people. But you know… Trump is a threat to democracy.
There are those that solely base their vote on whoever their favorite celebrity has chosen. Such people that lack their own opinion and capacity to think for themselves do not deserve to vote.
Then there are those that do not care about the policies that Harris brings to the table. That do not even know what she stands for. They just simply want a female president. No matter the damage that may ensue. No matter the damage done thus far.
“Not ignorance, but ignorance of ignorance, is the death of knowledge”

Now it may appear that I am playing the part of the hypocrite. I had previously mentioned that we should not be tearing each other apart in the name of politics. Yet here I am. Calling Democrats “Useful Idiots”. I would have chosen a less abrasive term. But “Ignoramuses” just did not sound right. It does not carry the weight of what I am trying to convey. Someone that is ignorant is so until they are educated on the subject. These people choose to be uneducated and desire to stay in their own puddle of ignorance. They choose to only listen to one side of the story and to follow hearsay and theories because it suits their own wants and desires. A stopping of the ears and closing of the eyes. Because to be educated would have to evolve into a change of mind and opinion. Then it would be an admission to being wrong. An admission that America was in a far better place under Trump than it is now. Otherwise they would have no choice but to play the fool without excuse. But I digress.

I call it like I see it. One must be an idiot to desire more of the abysmal state that our nation has found itself in for the past four years. A collapsing economy. Government control over speech and the right to self defense. A Government weaponized against its own citizens. The threat of a third world war with nations that can erase us from the face of the planet and make us into nothing more than a memory. One must be an idiot to believe that Kamala will save us even though she is partly responsible for putting us into the position of needing to be saved. That somehow Kamala will save us from Kamala. One must be an idiot to believe that Trump will do these God awful things that The Voice proclaims and destroy America, despite the fact that he has already been president once and never pursued that which they speak. Useful because they are uneducated and cannot think for themselves. Therefore they will fall in line and vote for whoever The Elites and The Voice will tell them to vote for. Which is always a Democrat. Just ask the Swifties.
Keeping the corruption alive. One ignorant vote at a time.
