Bunch of super smarts retards!

This is close to the top of most stupidest things I’ve ever heard:

Quote:
At one point during the conference, Brin talks about the typical mentality of Trump voters.

He argues that those with 'routine jobs' were more likely to vote for Trump than those with 'non-routine' jobs - and said 'boredom' might explain the President's popularity.

'There's actually a lot of historical precedent for boredom being a huge factor in vote choice,' Brin told the crowd.

'And actually in building extremism. We've done a lot of work on extremism that shows a high correlation with boredom.'

'Data suggests that boredom led to the rise of fascism and communism. It sort of sneaks up sometimes, really bad things.'

'History teaches us that there are periods of populism, of nationalism that rise up, and that's all the reason we need to be in the arena,' Walker says.
Maybe one of these ‘brilliant’ thinkers could “GOOGLE” - The history of fascism!
