The Intelligence of Republicans !!!

Something some of us have known for a long time, but now is demonstrated very clearly - Americans, and particulary American Republicans know nothing about Geography !!!


Jimmy Kimmel Asks Republicans To Name A Country On A Map And It Doesn't Go Well
The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host revisited an old segment to troll Ted Cruz.

  By Lee Moran, HuffPost US

Jimmy Kimmel trolled US senator for Texas Ted Cruz and exposed some Republican voters’ lack of geographical knowledge at the same time on Wednesday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”


Cruz last week retweeted footage of what he suggested showed supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) failing to name any country on a map:

This is Bernie’s base—the same folks who tell pollsters that socialism is great because free stuff is cool & they have no idea how many countries have tried it and utterly failed. The antidote: facts, truth & substance. ForAmerica on Twitter

Kimmel, however, pointed out the clip actually emanated from an episode of his show in 2018 and the political affiliation of the participants wasn’t known.

So, he revisited the prank in honor of Cruz ― and only asked confirmed Republicans the question.

It did not go well.

Like 25 years out of date, but here's a decent primer.

 

Oh here's yours because you didn't include it for some baffling reason.

 

Ah, it must make you feel good to lump a whole group of people together based off a video. Geography was actually a subject I was very skilled in so you're full of yourself.

 

So explain why none of those interviewed were correctly able to name just one country across the globe ???

 

I can't speak for them but you're generalizing a group of people based on a few random people walking the streets? It's idiotic.

 

There's a lot more videos about how ignorant Democrat voters are. Not just geography, but everything.

 

Ahh...because the bit wouldn't have been funny if they had shown however many people actually *had* gotten it right? It would be akin to that episode of I Love Lucy. Lucy and Ethel get jobs at a candy factory, and they work on a conveyor system, packaging chocolates...and everything went smoothly, and they had a successful day. Funny...right?

 

this is interesting, but I'll admit one... recently I was in a class (which I dropped actually) where we were conducting an activity. One of the things you had to do was write down a country that beings with the letter D.

So I chose "Damascus".

 

Exactly Bullz.
Here's a recent one:

 

Good for you! Shows you're not memorizing the "democrat socialist" talking points.

 

I remember several years ago Rush doing an in- depth investigation into the intelligence/choices/outcomes between those who identified as conservative/right/Republican/libertarian and those who identified as liberal/left/democrat/socialist. Pretty eye opening!

 

I'm a liberal, I guess, and I can name a handful of countries, though admittedly I'm lost when it comes to Africa and South America.. I think I could get lucky and pinpoint Brazil and maybe Egypt.

 

Just as well you're not an air-line pilot then !!!

 

Here you go:

 

Yeah some millenials can't do it either, but how about you having a go - show us how clever (or not you are)

Here in Republican Christian Indiana, they teach the school children about two countries in the world: One is called Over-here and the second is called Over-there. And the Rapture will occur any day now. On their free time, they eat pork loins.

 

I'm very old. My old map still shows Upper Volta and East Pakistan.
