      "Biden/Bernie as frontrunners" and "impeachment would solidify Trump's" base are both expressions of an understandable but naive desire to "get out" of The Trumpism Problem (which is really the White "Working" Class Male Irrelevance Problem") without big messy fight.

      It's the Slavery vs industrial-revolution problem all over again, i.e. "Let's not have a Civil War, let's just let technology ultimately render slavery unnecessary over time. Lincoln rejected it then, modern progressives should reject this now.

      The idea that a national political party can (and should!) win, govern and make decisions without a single concern for what regressive ignoramuses in the hinterlands think about scares some people. It sounds liberating to me - intelligent people carrying the world forward...

      ...idiots falling in line or falling away. Imagine how far everyone else could go if we just stopped giving a damn what happened to The Stupid?

          I know what you're saying here, but... this is why people (falsely) think that you're a eugenics advocate. Sweeping categorizations of voters, classification of citizens as shepherds or sheep with the sheep having to either "fall in or fall away," and blind faith in "futurism."

          What you're getting at here is basically "just grit through your pride & pain and embrace the future for fuck sake!" Or at least, that's your intent. Doesn't come off that way, and it certainly doesn't reflect any kind of political enlightenment. It's just sounds mean.

          You once said to me that the biggest hurdle Rs had was the simple fact that most items in their platform don't "sound nice." Imagine if these tweets were mass quoted (they already are, but mostly by irrelevant lunatics) or adopted into the mainstream. This isn't progress.

          Literally proving my point here. Another favorite phrase of yours is "words mean things." You're adopting this rhetoric by choice, and I know you're aware of what it sounds like. The world's the same; just more hyper & attention deficit. People haven't changed.

          I live in the hinterlands and YES. Give me that. Cause unlike when The Stupid rule and punish The Smart, when The Smart rule, The Stupid flourish too. But Stupid assumes Smart will be as vindictive as Stupid is.

          Umm... this sounds like eugenics. Dumb people be damned. Only the smart matter. That's scary talk. Not everyone who isn't book smart is a devil.

          This isnt eugenics its telling fuckwit Trump supporters to either evolve or fuck off into the whole they crawled out of.

          Then say Trump supporter. Don't say stupid. Stupid is a broad term implying any person of a non intellectual bent. This sounds like he wants to round up every person with an IQ below a certain level and make an Auchwitz

          Did you have a stroke and like, completely miss the entire chain of tweets before this one? Is it thay hard for you to understand context?

          One talks about the election and then the next brings in a metaphor to the Civil War. I get the context. The context is not making this clearer. The reason I said anything at all is because I'm "dumb". I just want to know if one of my favorite youtubers is calling for my death

          This whole last two tweets are about ignoring trump country completely it isnt suggesting that we perform some holocaust on morons. Its suggesting that we ignore the bigoted desires of Trump supporters in favor of a brighter future.

          Ok. That is... very relieving. As I said, I'm not very bright. Sorry for wasting your time on that explanation.

          Being a morally-deficient asshole has no real correlation with intelligence. You just say that because it helps you think you could never fall into that sort of thinking. Intelligence doesn't necessarily immunize you to evil: Sometimes, it just makes you better at rationalizing.
