These people are shallow and depravedly hedonistic, sure, but not "simple". They're not mentally handicapped, they have chosen, every day of their lives, to be cunts. To be evil. To care only about themselves because it's the core and only commandment of Western civ: no matter the consequences, get the bag/fuck you, I got mine. American society as a whole might be shockingly stupid and resemble the folks in Idiocracy, but the leaders aren't, they're just very very very evil people, and that's a matter of personal choice.

I remember 30+ years ago telling my parents "Everyone at school is a moron. I'm surrounded by morons all day long!!!"

They tried telling me it was all in my head. I now realize that my parents are ALSO morons.

I mean, not the kind that voted for trump.....but the simple kind. The kind that orders something from amazon, package claims delivered but it's not, then suddenly the neighbor has the same thing they bought and is missing. Multiple times. Yet they refuse to believe that their neighbor is an asshole.

So I waited until they went on vacation, put an amazon box on their porch, which was actually a glitter stink bomb.

Neighbor stole it, got pissed off, and tried going to my parents door to complain to them about it. Except they weren't even in the country.

NOW they believe me when I tell them the obvious, that their neighbor is a theif, and that they need porch cameras.

But again, my parents are morons. So instead of a self hosted option, they went with ring cam.

Yes. I know. I already know all about the privacy issues. They don't believe me.

They’re not mentally handicapped

Trump's narcissism is arguably a mental handicap. Trump is creating so many problems for himself - much of his behavior is ultimately pointlessly self destructive.

He IS also stupid and immature, he's no Kissinger, I agree, but still.
