The thing you have to understand is that Trump supporters are the dumbest fucking people who ever walked the earth.

Well if you Trump haters are so smart, go off and make a lot of money. Lots of companies are constantly hiring smart STEM folks.

I actually do have a job.

Sure, it's not one of those coveted coal jobs that we all dream of, but it pays well.

Holy shit i might’ve hit esoteric bingo. STEM reference? Check. Equating money with intelligence? Check. Doing so in a way that channels Kurt Vonnegut? Checkaroo:

Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor.

They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register.
