There is also the problem that, in my experience, stupid people are stubborn people and always blame the disasters they cause on others. I am reminded here of a guy I knew many decades ago, a machinist who always wanted to own a restaurant. He didn’t bother to learn how to cook or run a restaurant, he just took his little nest-egg he had been saving up for 30 years and invested it in a hot dog joint. Predictably, his food stunk.

His hot dogs were overcooked and dry; his fries greasy, limp and undercooked; even his condiments like onions and tomatoes were withered and nasty because he refused to toss them out trying to save money. He also overloaded his soft drinks with ice, another winner to cut down costs. If a customer asked for less ice, or fresher condiments, Chef Goofball would say, “You take it the way we make it!” and laugh. The patrons somehow didn’t share in the joke.

After having decent crowds the first couple of weeks, the word got around about his food, and his business dried up to nothing. Some of his customers told him specifically what was wrong with his food, but he dug in his heels. He dismissed them all as a-holes, and refused to change the way he made his food. He even refused a free tutorial in proper hot dog preparation by the company providing his meat. It was his place and he was going to do things his way, even if he didn’t know what he was doing. He was broke and out of business within about six months, blaming his customers, the location, the economy, the 7-11 down the street, anything but his own stubborn stupidity and lousy food.

Any resemblance between this moron and most of the Teabaggers and Republicans these days is entirely intentional.

How the idiocracy wins is through subterfuge and chicanery,
all it requires is a angry response and this then is perceived as being a strength.
The idea is that strength comes from being on solid ground or being reinforced by truth.

Facts are a nuisance when debating a troll and so are marginalized at every opportunity.
Truths however need not be based on facts and so refuting truths are as difficult as lifting water with a knife.

If one of the party faithful is backed into a corner further then an even stronger defense tactic is used,name calling and threats and insinuations of incestuous and homosexual predilections.

Witness two areas of study,one climatology is considered a science based on lies.
Economics which is viewed by the right wingers as an absolute science,think Ben Stein.

Realizing that facts can change at any minute gives the liberal pause,willing to give the winger the benefit of the doubt comes across as weakness and therefore indecisiveness.

Truths never change however and needing no basis in fact or even verification,can be changed to fit whatever the situation calls for to ram the point home to the casual viewer.

This is how the Liars win and it is a time honored method that has been with us since commerce and governance and religion were merged into one.

Pardon my horrible writing,the complexity of the subject seems make the description even more difficult.
I hope at least that You find it humorous.

Also, a small business where a friend of mmne works is hiring new people and making more money since Obama has made funds available for green energy products.

It’s just a shame the nitwit Dems can’t be bothered to bring these things up when challenged by idiot Republicans who claim Obama has done nothing.
