LOL, you know better. 30% of the country don't know who the VP is. Kimmel ran a skit the last few nights and a bunch of people couldn't find any country in the Western hemisphere on a map.
Still, it never ceases to amaze just how stupid some people are. And there are SOOOOOO many of them [insert George Carlin reference].
The anti-vaxxers really blow my mind though. Many of them are supposedly well-educated.
I probably should know better, yeah. Consider it a part of whatever is left of innocence and hope in humanity.
Oh, man. Don't get me started on anti-vaxxers.

And also use "snowflake" without having the self-awareness to realize they're the ones acting like a whiny bitch-boy.
"WAHHHHH!!!!! I-I-I shouldn't open peanuts because someone might have a very serious allergic reaction?!?!?! I can't believe how big a SNOWFLAKE they are!!!!!!"
Or, to a lesser degree that doesn't involve someone crying because his "rights" are being "trampled", CC crying because "MAGA hat" was used to describe what a stupid, whiny cunt was wearing.
Isn't that funny? It really does seem like people who tend to use it are throwing an adult version of a tantrum because they can't have their way.
The MAGA hat thing just reinforces a stereotype. It's like a correlation between the way a person drives and a bumper sticker. Eventually, if it's consistent enough, you begin to associate the bumper sticker with a particular way of driving.

Every anti-vaxxer I ever met isn't smart... but they all think they are. And that's always been a very dangerous combination. Every one was an average to below average student.
Yeah, I honestly haven't met a single anti-vaxxer who wasn't trying to be one, because as soon as you tell them anything that sounds like a coverup, they're already buying it and will only accept evidence that supports the notion.
