Deluded? Dumb?

The real issue of course is the fact that politicians like Farage, trump and others know full well these people are stupid and in fact have contempt for them, but are quite happy to use falsehoods and lies to appeal to their base prejudices, to gain power, knowing full well that these people are stupid and are either incapable or too lazy to do the necessary cross referencing to at least understand the facts.

Your beginning to concern me, I thought that whilst your views might be a bit suspect, you could at least recognise that lies. misinformation and deliberate spreading of falsehoods by people who should know better should be called out.

But then, of course your perfectly happy with the ****e a certain poster spreads on here. Mm maybe the objection to RA's labelling these people as fools, is because your one of them?
Morning Swale. I'd use a less demeaning word - misguided maybe, like I did repeatedly on the Brexit thread. As I've said before, if you want to use insults to describe large swathes of the US population, thats your prerogative, not my style but clearly yours (and it appears, rA's)
