      it’ll never cease to be hilariously ironic that conservatives love to call others naïve, as they themselves fail to realize that people will tell blatant lies in order to get votes

        It’s all projection. Poorly educated people cannot comprehend that people smarter than them exist.

        Anyone who think they are smarter must be an idiot and must be more naive than a them to believe they are actually smarter.

          While I agree, education and intelligence are not equivalent. Be careful when calling well-educated people “smart”

            I use poorly educated to mean people who do not pick up the education skills to keep themselves educated.

            One can graduate from an Ivy League and be poorly educated, we’ve had presidents that prove this to be the case.

            There is a difference between being given and education and becoming educated. One can become educated by sheer personal will as well as reject education despite all external efforts.

            Good does not equal well.

            Bad does not equal poor.

      And I bet they’ll do it again in ten years when the next swindler comes along telling them lies.
