Here we go another day. Over the mountains in the East the sun is coming up. With the clouds we have some spectacular sunrises. Then of course we get another show when the sun sets. The rain has been dodging us, but we have had a few dust settlers.
The infestation of stupidity in our country is frightening. This week we will see the head of the Trump cult booked for some of his crimes. Nothing works better for a gauge of just how stupid we have become than Donald Trump.
In the old days if you wanted to determine the IQ of someone you gave them a test. Now all you have to do is ask a few questions about Donald Trump. Did you vote for Trump? If the person says yes, you deduct 30% from however smart you thought they were. Now you ask would you vote for Trump again? If they answer yes you know you are dealing with a subpar idiot incapable of acquiring basic knowledge.
Another simple technique is to ask a person where they get their information. A simple minded Hooplehead will usually answer that they don't watch any normal news. Most Hooples will not admit to watching Fox, but you may pry it out of them.
Listen carefully to a Hoople and if they start sprouting conspiracy theories you know you have a low IQ Hoople on your hands.
Remember the old commercials that featured a mentally handicapped person putting the lids on toothpaste containers? There was a lesson in that. Even a mentally handicapped person can be taught some amazing skills. Kadizzle recently was baffled by a brain surgeon who bought into right wing fantasy stories. You see it all the time. You meet an airline pilot, or a very skilled person in one field, but they turn out to be a dolt in the world of general knowledge.
Everyday we meet people and we have to size them up. It may be awhile before you slowly realize you are dealing with a dinger. When you go to the doctor his job is to diagnose you. The doctor looks for signs. How do you spot a cult member? If they are flying a Trump flag your job is done. On the other hand the clues may be subtle. Maybe you are in their home and you notice Fox News on the TV. Maybe you see the goofy right wing books on the counter. Diagnosing a Hoople is usually fairly easy, but sometimes you have to draw the stupidity out of the dolt.
Education is often a good clue. Cult members and education don't mix. There are a lot of very intelligent people who are self educated. They read, think, and analyze. The Hoopleheads are joiners. One clue a person might be a Hoople is their club membership. Obviously anyone in the Tea Party is a Hooplehead. The same for hard core Republicans. In general Hooples like being lead by someone who does their thinking for them, so they join a club that gives them the rigidity they need to flourish as an idiot.
