I remember having this conversation somewhere else recently, comparing Schadenfreude to Sadistic, and this seems to have crossed the line in my mind to Sadistic.
I would bet that Institute members love to wager on underdogs; though not a way to make a living, there is some unholy joy in to seeing prohibitive favorite teams or candidates get taken down, then witness the howling the grinding of teeth of their fans/supporters afterwards.
Critical thinking? What’s that and who needs it? I always believe what they say and what everybody knows. Network news tells me everything I need to believe.
There are two kinds of people: people who think and people who let others do their thinking for them.
