“What was he convicted of?” someone asked.
“He had tattoos on his body,” she replied triumphantly.
“Hey, smartass!” shouted a woman in her sixties, jumping to her feet. “You want to see my tattoo?”
“Lady,” the Trump supporter said. “You don’t know what a tattoo is.”
“Yes I do, I’ve got one!” the woman shouted, tapping her chest.
The Trump supporter dismissed her with a wave of one hand. “I’ve had enough of you Democrats,” she said.
The stupidity of some people in that article is jaw dropping.
Also, if they shout at each other now, just wait for the SSA, Medicare, and Medicaid cuts that make hearing aids too expensive for rural boomers.
As if MAGAts are sufficiently self-aware to admit they need hearing aids.
Specifically boycotting anything that comes from Iowa would be a great trade policy for our former allies to adopt
Boycotting stupidity? How would that even work?!?
Studies show that two out of every three Trump voters are just as stupid as the third one.
Just a matter of time before conservative media finds a suitable scapegoat. They’ll get a wall of “Transgender Mexican ISIS stole the last bits of New Deal social contract” news articles for six months and come out more rabid than when they started.
This isn’t merely “Iowans are uniquely gullible”, either. The toxic nature of modern media is everywhere. And it produces as many Eric Adams Democrats as Donald Trump Republicans.
Grew up near Iowa, can confirm a lot of stupid people who think they’re smart.
And they all vote. (credit to George Carlin)
Idiots Out Wandering Around
Was heading up 35 to the Cities last fall and came up behind an old pickup with Iowa plates. Guy was poking along 5 under the limit. I was just getting ready to pass him when all the sudden he veered hard off the road and into the ditch. I quickly pulled over to check on him. “Are you okay? What the heck happened,” I asked. “No, I’m fine,” he answered, “I was on my way up to the Fair, you know, and I was just thinkin’ about whether to go to the Dairy Building or the 4-H building first. But then I looked down and noticed my turn signal was on.”
Is this a true story? Sounds to me like the gut may have fallen asleep or had some kind of mental short-circuit or something. I honestly can’t believe someone can survive to adulthood if they were actually just this dumb…
Spoken like someone who’s never met an Iowan.
Forgive me if I’m just unknowledgable here, but it appears from the downvotes that there might indeed exist adults as dumb as the one described. I’m honestly dumbfounded if that’s actually the case.
I wish it wasn’t true but those guys aren’t even that dumb compared to some people I know in real life
Most Americans aren’t smart enough to connect the disappearance of Medicaid and stuff to anything.
They’ll just see it disappear, be angry for a little while and write things like “make it make sense”, “a suit without a man” or whatever the buzzwords are then.
Then the next outrage thing comes along and they’ll bite, forgetting what they used to have.
