Michael Moore thinks Donald Trump owes his presidency to a "dumbed-down" electorate.

The filmmaker blamed dumb people for Trump's win over Hillary Clinton in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter that was published Wednesday. "Trump is our Frankenstein, and we are Dr. Frankenstein," said Moore. "We have helped to create a situation that has allowed us to end up with Trump. The dumbing down of our society through the media, the lack of education through poor schools, allows for a dumbed-down electorate, and for him to be able to actually get 63 million votes."

Apart from the gratuitous and sweeping insult, Moore's cliched analysis also contradicts his own earlier explanations for Trump's win. Perhaps Moore's thinking has shifted, or perhaps he's simply slipped into a heightened state of honesty. Either way, Moore's ostensibly sympathetic insights into blue-collar voters are what made his early prediction Trump would triumph over Clinton compelling in 2016, especially after they came true.

Consider when he spoke of going to "union halls and guys that I grew up with — people who normally vote Democrat who are thinking of voting for Trump." Or when he chastised the Left for claiming Trump has never read a book: "When you say he hasn't read a book in his adult life, you've just described the majority of Americans. Get out of your bubble, everybody!"

Socialist weasel.

For decades the K-16+ education-indoctrination yielded further and further left results.

The continuous indoctrination since the 60s marches along.

Dinesh D Souza is one of the best REAL educators.

The right iss very weak at doing this,, generally.

I don't read the threads. I just look at the pictures.

Like all Socialists, Moore believes himself and his fellow scum are the only 'Bright" ones in the room and everyone else needs to be herded like sheep as the masses know no better.

I think parasitical hypocrite  is a better description of Moore. Here's a gigantic (literally) a-hole who has gotten fabulously rich running down the country that made him wealthy.
Moore is made up of zero integrity and a ton of b.s.

[LMAO]

Regardless of whatever happens in any election, the losing side always tells us how dumb the American people are.
