They’re not really that ‘bright’.
They think that possessing the ability to exercise clever subterfuge is the same as possessing intelligence and thoughtfulness.
They actually really believe that we’re all stupid. It’s served them well for a long time; but I don’t think it’s going to serve well for much longer.
“They actually really believe that we’re all stupid.”
That’s because we’re all so quiet. So quietly tolerant.
No highly visible or effective reactions from us. No getting in their faces. No hard vote-getting. No big protests. No fight.
They believe we’re all pansies.
