The overlooked value of social media is how it provides people with a global platform for broadcasting rank stupidity. This week’s first contestant in the race to the bottom is Ken Martin, Chair of the Democratic National Committee, who plowed new ground by comparing events in Minnesota to those in -- wait for it -- Iran. That’s right; thousands of Iranians being slaughtered because they want to be free of the mullahs is exactly like one American being killed for trying to run down an ICE agent.
"From Tehran to my birthplace of Minneapolis,” wrote Martin, “people are rising up against systems that wield violence without accountability. In Iran, brave protestors confront a far-right theocratic regime that crushes dissent and denies basic freedoms.” Which is the point where his false equivalence jumps the rails. American protesters, both paid and organic, are not being denied a single basic freedom.
They can protest to their heart’s content, and they can scream and yell until they go hoarse. What they cannot do is stop the enforcement of immigration laws that, until ten minutes ago, virtually every Dem politician of my lifetime supported. It’s true. As Casey Stengel used to say, you can look it up. Even left-leaning publications such as The New Yorker make the point. Both Clintons, Obama, Chuck Schumer, and even Potato Joe are on record as opposing illegal immigration and ticking off its cost to the country and the taxpayer. But Martin, apparently, represents a new line of thinking that is a prerequisite for being the chairman of as august a body as the DNC.
Because PeakStupidTM is a never-ending contest, it did not take long for another worthy contender to weigh in. This is a person who posts under the handle ‘justnotsamantha’ who lives in Minneapolis

The thing about most stupid people is that they think they are extremely intelligent.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe. ~ Albert Einstein
Me thinks civilization is about to hit a stretch where stupidity will, once again, remove itself from the gene pool...
Got Ag?
Ag, Au, and Pb ;-)
That’s not stupidity. He knows exactly what he’s doing.
Individuals: some are ignorant, some succumb to false messages, some are evil, some who are evil prey upon the ignorant.
Yep. 90+% of people think they are above average.
They never get beyond the peak. There is no forward progress toward competence.
A great read! In synopsis, educated people think they are experts on not just their specialty, but everything else. And society buys into it.
I can’t post the article due to copyright complaint from ‘Wired’ but everyone needs to read this ‘primer’ that the Socialists are publishing.
What to Do if ICE Invades Your Neighborhood:
The concept of “Peak Stupid” is that, at some point, it will decline.
I don’t see that happening.
I like that term “Peak Stupid”
Hmm. So this isn’t about AOC?
