A comic in a club started to make a joke about President Joe Biden and was promptly heckled by a woman shouting, “Stop it. I like Joe.”
I watched the YouTube video of it and once again marveled at the very idea that anyone in 2023 could be so ignorant of Biden’s character.
At present, polls show that his approval ratings are the lowest ever for an incumbent president but the very fact that 30% of those polled still believe he’s doing a good job means that idiocracy is now the normal state in America.
All right, perhaps, I’m wrong and the average I.Q. in America hasn’t decreased to -50.
Perhaps, the answer is that a significant portion of the population live in a bubble of complete ignorance of current reality.
undefined They have not read any economic indicators that report highest inflation levels in decades. They have not seen any of the many, many videos of the president sniffing little girls’ hair and touching them inappropriately. (Heads up, people -- these videos are all on YouTube.) They have not listened to the reports that confirm that the entire Biden family is as corrupt as the fictional Corleone family in The Godfather only the Bidens get their money from China and the Ukraine. The millions of illegals that this administration has allowed to enter the country have not invaded their neighborhood yet so they still think the Biden administration is securing our borders.
I can only imagine what it must be inside that magic bubble that these low-information Americans live in. The only newspapers probably allowed are the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times. The New York Post and the New York Sun are verboten in this realm. T.V. channels are limited to CNN, MSNBC

I suspect that Biden supporters can’t read.
Back in the late 90s I worked with a woman who was a very smart engineer. Really impressive. At one point she said, "I don't get it. It seems like a lot of people don't like Bill Clinton. Like he's some sort of sleazy guy. What's up with that?"
So I started to explain few things about Bill Clinton, Juanita Broaddrick, Monica Lewinsky, etc. But I didn't get very far. The engineer I was speaking with held up both her hands and said, "I don't want to know. I live in a nice world where none of that stuff happens. I'm fine. Sorry I asked."
Smart but not wise.
There are people that vote for AOC and the rest of the squat. So that shows the stupidity of the voters. But we are also seeing how institutions like Harvard are being ruined because of a liberal philosophy and that philosophy is spreading throughout the country and will destroy this country. Nikita Kruschev was right.
That’s exactly it. Willful ignorance. Biden is a nice guy who loves his family and wants to help people pay off their student loans - not at all like that racist, sexist, loudmouthed Trump.
I have a daughter-in-law like this - not a raving Leftist by any means, but there is just so much she doesn’t want to know.
“...perhaps, I’m wrong and the average I.Q. in America hasn’t decreased to -50...”
The predominant Rat constituency is in places like Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, Memphis, Atlanta, New Orleans, etc.
Check the IQ of the inhabitants, you will find the answer. It’s also why those cities are run to the ground. Same thing is happening to the federal government.
When you import the third world, you become the third world. /spit
In some ways, it was wise of her to not pay attention to this stuff and just live her life. But it’s also a dereliction of duty as a citizen.
This is equally on both the left and right. And It is more like inside a concrete box than inside a bubble.

The problem is where people get their news: Facebook, Tik-Tok, Twitter/X, Yahoo, MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, etc.
I think part of it is that they are dedicated to their partisan view of the world to the extent that they cannot disengage from their party leaders no matter what. They have a Gay kid, for example. They feel that Christians disapprove of Gay Sex and therefore (in their mind, Gay people) and thus condemn Christianity entirely and all associated with it. The Right also does not facilitate homosexuals being a special protected class and therefore everything about the Right is condemned. Once that alignment is made, their people must be forgiven every failure as to not do so is to support the opposition in their small world.
People who are really into politics tend to listen to what they want to hear. It tends to make them ignorant and prone to believe lies that sound good to them. TwitterX has become the home of “This is true until it isn’t”. You have to be skeptical.
I’m guessing she has a telescreen in her house.
If you live in a bubble it doesn’t matter what the bubble is, bubbles make you dumb. Intelligence comes from checking out other parts of the world, growing, learning.
“If you live in a bubble it doesn’t matter what the bubble is, bubbles make you dumb. Intelligence comes from checking out other parts of the world, growing, learning.”
Absolutely. Open objectiveness and no fear of mirrors.
Western civilization depends on there being a certain minimum number of intelligent and trustworthy people to run it.
The Third World is poor because it has low-IQ people and a culture of corruption. Colonialism created a net benefit to these people. Where colonialism created a native cadre of people, then things stayed together after the colonialists left (India). Other places, things fell apart (Most of Africa).
“Is the Bubble You Live In Making You Dumb?”
It isn’t making me dumb. My knowledge, wisdom and experiences should be gobbled up by todays youth. If they don’t know how to find those resources and listen up, it’s on them.
And then inner city thugs create their own third world by beating up anyone who tries to learn, calling it "acting white".
“...idiocracy is now the normal state in America.”
Has been since President Reagan until President in Exile Trump. ;)
