Hard Core Stupid

The human mind does one thing very well. Humans are very good at recognizing patterns. Sitting here looking at Discovery magazine there is an article on how many people believe in chemtrails. You know the nutty people who think the government uses jets to spray us with chemicals. The number that catches the eye is 9%.  Nine percent believe, and 25% are unsure.  Add these two numbes and you get pretty close to the magic number.  Somewhere between 27 and 32 is a number.  That is the number of hard core stupid people.  The hard core stupid relish ignorance.  They love Trump, and goofy science.  Kadizzle would chose the number 28%.  Almost every survey on any subject somehow turns up the same number.  It is reasonable to conclude 28% of the population is dumber than bricks.  You could sell them anything or get them to believe anything.  The hard core stupid like simple explanations like Obama did it, or maybe it was Hillary.  The hard core stupid are what put Rush and Fox in business.  You can tell them anything.  The more idiotic or insane the better.  These are the people who give the crooked stump preachers money, they keep QVC, and the Republican Party in business.  In the next election the person with most money will win.  There is a simple explanation.  You can buy the vote of the magic 28% of idiots with the right adds.  Republicans usually win elections because they own the magic 28%.  Trump knows and readily admits he loves he uneducated.  Now here is your assignment.  Next time you look at any polling number or survey try to notice what percent of people give the dumbest answer possible. You will find the magic number.  28%   You know that old saying " You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time". Well you can fool the 28% all the time.  That is why we have Donald Trump.
