    That’s the implication is it not?

    ”Hey I have a question, but it might be kind of stupid so I don’t know if it’s worth asking…”

    ”Hey, there’s no such thing as a stupid question! Go ahead, what is it?”

    ”Hey, thanks! So, is America a plutocracy-“

    ”What are you, stupid? Yeah, you’re definitely an idiot. Stupid idiot. Get out of here.”
