these guys are PAINFULLY stupid (the guy Benny is talking to is Adam Schwarze, the GOP-endorsed candidate for US Senate in Minnesota)

Marc Bloomquist · 9 · 3h agoCan we start teaching “land doesn’t vote” to kindergarteners?
I know they know this though, but they’re playing to the idiot voter base they have.
Did they mention we have the longest streak of voting Dem for President? Imagine being shocked we’d also vote blue in any other statewide elections.
Hurrr
Benny's working for Russia. I can only assume Russia wishes to disappear Minneapolis.
Did Putin make that map for Benny after he gave him some additional funding?
It’s not “just” Minneapolis. It’s the twin cities suburbs — including my District, which sent a Republican to the House for 50 straight years until Trump took office. Flipped the house and our state seats. Nice work MAGA.
and Olmstead County not just Rochester.
Waiting with `bated breath for Cows United, coming soon to SCOTUS near you
Lil Bennie, paid Kremlin agent
If you count Minneapolis/St Paul as one city, Duluth is tied for third largest city in Minnesota.
"Don't pay attention to that blue part at the top, very few people live there so they aren't swinging the state."
You don't say??
Respectfully, that would require Trump-level stupidity or Tuberville-level stupidity, and I believe these two are likely not that stupid. I think they are instead knowingly lying to the fraction of their audience they know to be this stupid
Look, Schwarze cannot lose - 95% of the state is Repubblican!
(obvious jk)
They really can’t grasp “population density” can they?
I think they know exactly what they are doing...
Benny is a Russian paid stooge
When Boy Toy Bennie is talking about Duluth he actually says "... there's not a lot of people that live up there..." while at the time exclaiming how 'right wing' Minnesota is.
They're comparing people to dirt. Sad.
BENNY JOHNSON!!!???
The closeted gay man?
All those low-density areas are the ones who're suffering as the GOP trashes rural healthcare.
"Like states across the country, the reliance on federal dollars is most pronounced in Minnesota’s rural communities, which tend to be older and poorer than metro areas."

But --- if we only focused on the actual PEOPLE who support the fascists, instead of the huge swaths of vacant land which supposedly do, then everyone will see how unpopular they are!
Can't have that!!!
Trees don't vote, but if they could, they'd vote for the people that wouldn't want to cut them all down for parking lots
They are in this category.
youtu.be/P8LQrQgDS5w
Lakes don't vote?
Also, that's the Arrowhead. If you're going to talk trash about Minnesota at least get the geography right 🙄
R's look at a sea of red on the map and act like it's a scorecard, just for the lil squirt of endorphins and reinforcement it provides.
Where to even begin with the errors & stupidity?
2016 election map by vote count and party.
LA bar is basically in the stratosphere. You know, if we just spread out a little....
The Biden administration documented 11 million undocumented crossings.
Not 20 million.
Dems need to do more outreach to start getting these lakes to vote blue
The land of 10,000 GOP leaning lakes
Acres are people, too!
They know how stupid their voters are and they're willing to capitalize on that stupidity to win. Dems could learn a trick or two and use it for good instead of evil
How?
The map shows that nearly empty rural counties voted red. Logically we know that. But our animal minds see large red areas and instinctively we think it means more people are red. Dems don't do things like that--we won't use stupid arguments to appeal to stupid people. So we lose.
One Cow, One Vote...
"the increasing salience being stupid has in our political divide"
bsky.app/profile/mtsw...
It's really insulting that they think that their audience is so stupid (and they may truly be but MAGA seem to get more upset by being called "stupid" than being taken for stupid).
People of the land. The common clay of the new West 😉
They're not stupid, they're anti-democratic.
Republicans have relied on empty land for claiming political power since they and their capital interests began emphasizing "it's a Republic" instead of our democracy.
bsky.app/profile/atru...
Most of their followers and constituents are this stupid too.
GOP know how to message to their base. You know there are maga copying word for word these talking points.
DULUTH
Population Context 2020 Census: 86,697 residents
The broader Duluth-Superior metropolitan area population is roughly 281,000 residents.
Hardly anyone there
Benny has always impressed me as one of the dumbest podcasters
It takes a Republican-level of stupid to think that land votes.
"It's a red state, except for where the people live." Trump's Golden Age of Stupid continues unabated.
Last I checked, acreage doesn't get to vote.
The bits with people.
OMFG, people believe this shit?
Land voting again? Biden brought in twenty million people? I'm sensing a tiny bit of lying here. 😂
Agreed.
Ds should include the blue-blue waters of the Great Lakes in these maps to counter.
✌️😂👏👏👏👏💙
That looks awfully similar to this map. I wonder if that effects anything.
They aren't stupid. They are lying.
It’s always Joe.
These morons also fail to mention that the twin cities metro area is over half of the state's population.
I one day wonder when the Northwest Angle will finally secede to Canada because... why is this still here?
So many mouthbreathing dipshits need to get up to speed on the concept of ‘population density’….
It's their armor.
Empty land doesn't vote....
If it weren't for all these voters, Minnesota would be (R) forever.
Minnesota has vast areas where there is absolutely nothing going on ... like Benny's cranium.
Start coloring empty areas blue and present your own version. Two can play this game.
Guy about to lose his primary to former sportscaster
Perhaps, but they’re not nearly as bad as the CRITICALLY stupid people who listen to them (aka Trump voters) and believe this bullshit.
They are stupid, but they’re also liars and deeply disingenuous, and they know exactly what they’re doing. Writing it all off as stupidity fails to hold them responsible for their actions and false rhetoric.
They're not stupid. They're corrupt
The Russians should be asking for their money back.
They are not stupid, PAINFULLY or otherwise. They know perfectly well "land doesn't vote".
But they ALSO know is the cult is too PAINFULLY stupid and ignorant to grasp the nuance.
Been spendin most their lives livin in a mouth breathers paradise
Land doesn't vote. They could have 99% of the land that votes for them, BUT IF THERE ARE NO PPL, IT DOES NOT MEAN SHIT.
MY GOD, we need a new vocabulary word that is worse than stupid.
Dems need to adapt the map by population and only use it.
If it wasn't for the cities and population centers, and if unoccupied land was required to vote Republican, maybe right wingers could win in Minnesota!!
Mostly they hope we are that stupid
But, it seems their job is to appear smugly confident on camera.
“Rig the state in perpetuity”. Sure Benny.
Benny the plagiarist.
Those maps piss me off every time. Don't color the entire god damn counties. It's just echoing GOP propaganda.
Put a tiny, tiny little red dot in the center of those counties. Make the dots proportional to population.
Stupidity? More likely massively disingenuous.
Willful ignorance. Ask me how I know, but you probably don't need to.
If understood what was said in the clip -I'm not listening twice- they are far worse than willfully ignorant.
They are promoting the idea that Biden somehow came up with 20 million extra people to vote.
Disingenuous - they know they're lying but they're making up rubebait.
#VoteBlueNoMatterWho
And if we go a step further and color those population centers based on vote percentage, everything goes purple.
Which further demonstrates why the electoral college needs to go.
I would point out that these guys aren’t stupid at all, but they DO think the MAGA/GOP base is stupid.
They have nothing but contempt for their base.
It's called the Arrowhead not the Panhandle!!!
Is that the Michigan upper peninsula ? That place is teeming with moose.
Are...are they arguing against the Electoral College???
Stupid leaders only appeal to stupid people.
"I don't think people quite understand..." Like what irony means? We're certain you don't Benny.
"There isn't much people in the panhandle"
oh suddenly population density matters?
The 20 million people Biden supposedly "brought in" can't get welfare and they sure as hell can't vote.
There are something like twice as many people living in Hennepin County than in all of Wyoming.
Are some of the ex-urban blue areas like those in the Dakotas--rez?
Yet again with the "Biden gave immigrants subsidies and voting rights" propaganda. Besides the map showing dirt and lakes that vote, they're also showing a high degree of their ignorance and ability to lie.
Too bad ignorance and lying can't vote like dirt and lakes.
Benny Johnson is also a paid Russian shill, so he's compensated to be as stupid as possible.
The eternal question of, “Does dirt vote?” persists.
Wow he knows so much about MN. We also call it The Like Little Panhandle or Whatever Hat.
Yes they are. But just remember WHO these pigs are taking to!
Bluish white, you’re all right.
Red red, you’re dead
Benny Johnson is a traitor to the nation.
Half of people are stupid, and half of that group is even stupider.
That group watches Benny Johnson.
I'm from MN. There are probably more people in that Duluth area than there are in the red zone combined. All that red is wheat, corn and soy.
Only a 1/4 million people live in Metropolitan Duluth.
Ah yes. The empty parking lot in Northern Minneapolis voted for trump
Land doesn't vote
It's not just that they're painfully stupid, it's also that they're painfully stupid liars.
I’m in a rural, very red county in MN and a surprising number of people really do just think their vote should count more because they occupy more physical space
🫤😏😡🤬🤷👀
They do this to convince their illiterate base that the elections are rigged. 🙄
1. Count votes.
2. More people vote Dem.
3. But they live in the cities so it doesn't count!
4. Cry on Russian propaganda show.
Who pays Benny?
They slander & spread their slanders on mics so everybody can hear their ill intentioned hearts.They’re bearing false witness abt others.By their fruits we shall know them.No decent man or practicing Christian would intentionally spread slander.They’re playing w/ evil & they will pay a price.Fools🤦🏻♀️
One more time for the chuds and choads in the back:
Land. Doesn't. Vote. People vote and liberals, progressives, and Dem-Socialists live in cities in large numbers. The electoral college gives too much oxygen to these maps that show a shitload of red and a blue concentration in small areas.
Thanks
Amazing how they think land somehow votes.
there's one brain cell between the two of them...
Benny seems like the type who's been hoodwinked by the "Wallet Inspector" a few times.
Having lived in MN (Brooklyn Park) I understand that the areas in red. ARE EMPTY! There is nothing between the greater MSP area and Duluth, Except lakes, farms, and Tobies.
Land doesn't vote. There are far more people in that blue pocket than in the rest of the state combined.
Maps like that, showing that rural America (all that Red!) generally supports the GOP, must really drive Republicans crazy.
The maps suggest that the GOP would be totally dominant... if only the places with large numbers of people , as opposed to cows, would vote for them.
Mooo!
And so are any of the people who support or believe them. Jeez. Primaries tomorrow.
These idiots haven't taken Sean Duffy's America road trip tour, have they. I mean fields don't vote.
The cows are voting. The pigs are voting. All for republicans? I don't think so.
Belligerent ignorance on display.
Since they never get called on their stupidity, they just keep doing it 
Say what you may about liberals, progressives, socialists, and democrats, but ...
the hard truth is
that every single rethuglykkkan
is a racist,
fascist,
money-grubbing,
misogynist,
hate-filled,
spineless,
morally-corrupt,
ethically-devoid,
vile,
repulsive,
foul,
loathesome,
shit.
“There’s not a lot of people that live up there”
As opposed to each one of those red counties that has 400 people in them
A Republican/conservative narrative works (for them) not because it is true but because they get away with telling the lie. They like the lie.
Just going to guess this is one of those "Hey you stupid fucks, land doesn't vote" situations.
fly hands are always a give away that you're an evil douche
The red are the shit hole towns.
All of modern conservatism is rooted in not understanding how anything works, then proclaiming yourself to be the brave and noble victim of A World That’s Out To Get Us.
The Russian Payee thinks hardly anyone lives in Minneapolis?
…hardly anyone that matters to them, most likely
Some township 6.1 mile county with more lakes than people, sure, that is important
I live in rural MN, and its always weird when others talk about being "real" Minnesotans, not like the small minority in the Cities. Like, dude, over half the state's population lives in the metro, and even more of us have lived there at some point.
My favorite one of these is when Rs complain about Nevada and they point all the red and the replies are like “yeah, that’s mostly dirt.”
If land DID vote it wouldn't vote for R's.
What will it take for these idiots to understand that LAND DOES NOT VOTE?
It seems like a relatively simple thing to understand, but either they really are this stupid, or they think that their base is that stupid, such that they weaponize it.
I know going for looks is low, but...I don't know why you'd get up day after day and make an effort to present yourself like that. Literally looks like a skinny limp d**k.
Correction: They know MAGAs are painfully stupid
Democratic votes outnumbered GOP votes 1.4:1, or ~500,000
(to save anyone else looking it up)

In a just world, their stupidity would cause THEM pain, not US
Painfully stupid yes. But they know exactly what they’re doing and who they’re speaking to.
The worst part is the really painfully stupid people that believe this propaganda hook, line and sinker. 😆
Unfortunately, we are the ones that feel that pain.
GEOGRAPHY DOES NOT VOTE YOU IDIOTS
You literally just described every Republican.
Land doesn't vote, dipshits!
this entire fucking country is filled to the gd brim with painfully fucking stupid assholes
in case you haven't noticed
Thank you brother.
"hehe The Duluth Area" Yup.. just the little town... and the 5300 square miles that's really exactly the same... and within 150mi... 🙄
I find it interesting that bigots and racist scum are so open about their black hearts and hate, thinking it makes for a popular political message.
1 to 4 percent of the US population is diagnosed with psychopathic tendencies. That is not a lot of folks to depend on for your election.
Biden could've won MN with just Hennepin county alone. It has a population of 1.27 million. I grew up in rural western MN where many counties have less than 10k.
Last time I checked corn and soybean plants don't vote.

There not stupid. Those that vote for them however…
