Jerry Brown compares Trump supporters to ignorant cave dwellers
The Politico ^ | September 18, 2017 | David Siders

California Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday called President Donald Trump’s approach to climate change and North Korea “stupid and dangerous and silly,” sharpening his criticism of the president and comparing his supporters to ignorant cave dwellers.

“They’re both kind of very similar,” Brown said at a climate change event in New York. “You should check out the derivation of ‘Trump-ite’ and ‘troglodyte,’ because they both refer to people who dwell in deep, dark caves.”

Brown, the Democratic governor of the nation’s most populous state, has been rushing to recruit other state and local governments to sign onto their own non-binding climate agreements in defiance of Trump. At an event coinciding with the United Nations meeting in New York, Brown said Trump’s election has made it easier to promote climate-related policies, with the rise of a “real adversary that is not believable, is not credible.”

“President Trump is the null hypothesis, which he’s proven,” Brown said. “Everything he’s doing is … stupid and dangerous and silly. I mean, come on, really, calling the North Korean dictator ‘Rocket Man?’ … He is accelerating the reversal through his own absurdity.”

While acknowledging he was making “lemonade out of a lemon,” Brown predicted Trump will “fail very soon” in the face of economic and other international forces.

“These other powers are going to gang up on Mr. Trump, and he’s going to find out, ‘You’re fired,’” Brown said.

Trump has called climate change a hoax and earlier this year announced he will withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement. Many Republicans have argued the cost of reducing greenhouse gas emissions is unduly burdensome.

Brown, touching off several days of climate talks, said of the opposition to Trump on climate change, “It takes what we’re doing today and this week, and all the other things that we have to do to finally put the nail in, I don’t want to say in Trump’s coffin … That’s a tweet, so I better not do that. But we’re getting there. We’re making change. So I’m very optimistic in the face of Washington’s absent leadership.”

All the homeless in CA (which has increased tremendously under Brown) would kill for a cave.

Cave dwellers had to be smart to survive.

Anyone who thinks they were stupid should strip off their clothing and walk into the wilderness. If they manage to survive a year they might be as smart as a cave dweller.

Jerry Brown: more responsible for turning the Golden State into a Lawless Turd(sic) World Feudal State than any other California politician.

If you think Jerry Brown is bad, you don’t want to hear from the other commie/democrats in California. Jerry Brown is extremely bad, but not the worst in Sacramento. I would not be surprised if some of those antifa thugs are staff members of California state legislators.

‘Tis strange indeed, that Jerry Brown has described himself so well.

Was JUST in San Francisco, they are going down hill. Homeless, despair, and fallse hope. Marijuana seems to have taken their sensitivity to reality down the tube.

Does Jerry mean ignorant cave dwellers like those in Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, taken from Socrates’ dialog in Plato’s Republic?

Hope Brown is preparing for the resignation of his top two law enforcement officers.

Becerra and McCluskie appear to have potential legal trouble based on their prior employment.

Also will make great political advertising.

Imagine a video of Hillary Clinton, Brown, Michael Moore, and God only knows how list the long could be - talking about Americans in that way.

Jerry Brown compares Trump supporters to ignorant cave dwellers

Brown says that only because he hasn't been called out by the patriots in Kalifornia for his criminal connections that keep him and the communist democrats in power. I'll give him credit, Jerry Brown is right, he and his criminal cronies have cleverly and thoroughly snookered the voices and the votes of the Kalifornia citizens. As every day passes with them in power, they continue to make their positions less penetrable of the truth
