Underrated. But I hardly expect someone bigoted against all Americans to have taste

I wouldn't expect someone that posts lame memes to know what actual bigotry is either.

I don't know why calling a large percentage of the American voters stupid is such a big deal, or how that makes one a bigot. It's been demonstrated time and again that Republican voters are among the most uninformed people in the modern world, and they are actually proud of it. The same idiots that believe in creationism, deny climate change, call Obama a Kenyan, and watch crazy rihgt-wing media, are the vast majority of Trumps base.

These people earn all of the contempt they get. Sure, there may have been those that voted for Trump for the economic promises, or those morons that liked him because he was 'edgy' and anti-PC. The former are deluded and the latter are contemptible children, with very small minds.

Stupidity is stupidity no matter how many people call it wisdom, or cry 'elitism' or 'bigotry' when it's pointed out.

Unsurprising. You can Google it if you don't know what a broad brush is.

I know what it means to paint with a broad brush, asshole.

Then perhaps you should take some time to practice sound thinking, because in context, what I'm saying is perfectly clear, yet you admit incomprehension. What is it, exactly, that you don't understand about my point?

Or, perhaps, you should consider thinking before pressing "send". It's been my experience that this results in better conversations which have more content than simple insults. Let's see if you're up to that.

I can practice sound thinking just fine, but when people post vague one liners, I'll ask for a clarification. Everything I said about the Trump base (as well conservatives in general) is a good approximation of the state affairs in US politics - you've said similar things. I honestly don't see what the problem was with pointing that reality out, and instead of just explaining what you were implying, you just doubled down and tried to play as though I'm an idiot. That's pretty uncharitable conversation, and it's damn rude too, so don't complain about my one insult to you.

You called Americans dumb fuckers and acted like all Americans are responsible for Trump getting into power. Nowhere did you say a large percentage of voters or republicans.
