They complain about freedom to manage their own life while trying to control others.🤦‍♀️

Going to prestigious schools especially when you're rich doesn't mean you are very highly educated.

[hanscramon]

The difference between intelligence and stupidity : - intelligence has its limits.

I don't have to imagine -- I'm up here in Canada, completely 'gobsmacked' as my British cousins would say, at what is happening in the U.S. 🥺

There should be a standardized test on US civics and history to run for office. It could be called the GGII (Gaetz-Greene Ignorance Inventory).

[amberleeannalee]

Our education system rates one of the lowest in all free countries. Living in a community means you give a crap about your neighbors and their children

[jacklangford]

Finally, calling them what they are. Just plain dumb.

[rikcab]

It's all about making more money, greed and selfishness in the heart of man.

Remember Brexit? Yeah Joy I do, being a denizen of England.
But even here with a crappy conservative government, taking vaccine and wearing a mask are not political topics.

[readchp]

Joy has it right. “Idiocracy” is an absolutely perfect description of the prevailing ignorance on the political right. Thank you Joy. Much love.

As a Kiwi its hard to believe that the richest, most powerful nation in the world is reduced to this. Joy Reid is spot on.

[gcmgome]

I love how the right has usurped the words "socialism" and "communism" and use them to mean anything they want them to mean.

[kindsprit]

I can’t help it. I gotta say it… “STUPID IS, AS STUPID DOES. MY MOMMA always said.”

Yep, we all agree with Forest and his momma.

[drusmith]

fighting mask wearing during this pandemic, is like not using condoms during an std epidemic, or helmets while nails are dropping from the skies... baffling

[selfdestination]

They don't "think" their voters are stupid. They know they are stupid.

[sueokada]

I remember when Bobby Jindal got laughed at when he said repubs needed to “stop being the stupid party”. He was no great genius himself but they should’ve listened.

[kindsprit]

Joy made the truest remark of all 25 years of fox = p “they’re pretty much pimping stupid “.
I concur, Joy. I concur.

[monicahill]

That’s the sad part, the supporters don’t realize that the GOP & FOX NEWS thinks they’re STUPID AF!!!!
