Earlier today, I saw a Facebook post made by a far-right Nebraska acquaintance of mine, which included the link to an article on a far-right website that basically suggested Obamacare is worse than finding out your fiancee is your long lost sister and your coming child may also be your nephew.
The article itself wasn't what caught my attention and made me laugh; it was this acquaintance's son's response, which was the following:
"We could have told people until we were blue in the face that this wasn't going to work...but what would we know? We are dumb bigoted republicans."
Okay, so if this person had just said "dumb Republicans," that would have worked. It appears this person's intent was to poke fun at Democrats for labeling Republicans as being dumb, when it was Republicans whom were the wise ones for knowing all along that Obamacare would fail (according to him). However, when he included the word "bigoted," that negated the sarcastic attempt at sounding intelligent due to its irrelevance in the matter. If the issue at hand had pertained to race or sexual orientation or gender discrimination, then "bigoted" could have potentially worked here. However, that's not the case at all, and winds up making this responder come across in the very manner he was sarcastically trying to disprove. Following similar logic, he could make the following statements:
- "I knew the Bears were going to win, but what do I know? I'm just a no good racist."
- "I told you school wasn't going to get canceled, but what do I know? I'm just a single loser."
- "Didn't I tell you that one thing that one time? But what do I know? I'm just a skinny person."
