The Trump campaign demonstrates just how close to Idiocracy we are.

(62,444 posts)Hitler was smarter, I guess.
Trump is a lot dumber.
I don't know whether that makes it worse, or better.
I guess with "dumb Hitler" you just jump right to the devastation of your own country, and skip the part with Liza Minelli.
