I was specifically judgmental about Lucy (who has demonstrated stupidity over and over), and generalized it to the typical Trump supporter. Statistics support the assertion that the majority of Trump supporters are not highly educated. Sooo....maybe not every Trump supporter is a dumbass....but MOST are.

"
But in the places where support for him [Trump] runs the strongest, the proportion of the white population that didn’t finish high school is relatively high. So is the proportion of working-age adults who neither have a job nor are looking for one. The third-strongest correlation among hundreds of variables tested: the preponderance of mobile homes."

"In terms of demographics,
Trump’s supporters are a bit older, less educated and earn less than the average Republican. Slightly over half are women. About half are between 45 and 64 years of age, with another 34 percent over 65 years old and less than 2 percent younger than 30. Over half of his voters have a high school education or less, compared to 19 percent with a college or post-graduate degree. Slightly over a third of his supporters earn less than $50,000 per year, while 11 percent earn over $100,000 per year."
