"STUPIDITY" - the tendency for negative emotions (fear, anger, GREED, etc.) to twist intelligence into something self defeating - or harmful to others. ("The more raw intelligence, the more capacity for frustrating or destructive stupidity!") "IDIOCY" - a special kind of stupid characterized by selfish refusal to recognize human interdependence and civic responsibilities (including, but not limited to voting and taxes).

The Pot Starts to Scald
What happens when froggies in a heated pot start to feel the scald?
Do they Turn to the Bern or (try to) Jump to the Trump?
Either way "The Establishment" is dismayed.
They know too well that there is no alternative to what is happening now.
We're terrorized by terrorists. We work longer hours for less pay.
Muslims want to kill us. Mexicans are taking our jobs.
Those Mexicans, especially "the illegals" will, after all, work so hard for so little pay. And they can't complain. (They're illegal.) A wall won't keep them out, but at least Trump will build one. He says so.
And, he says, Mexico will pay for the wall. It will, at least, generate construction jobs. But for whom? Illegal Mexicans who work hard for less pay and don't complain?
It looks like the Establishment will always be right. (No wonder we hate them so much.)
