8.) People who think radio conspiracist Alex Jones is insightful.

7.) People who would be swayed by who Paul Ryan predicts to win the upcoming college football game between Ohio State and Wisconsin:

6.) Anyone who believes there is actually a war on women.

5.) John Walker Lindh.

4.) Those who think Paul Ryan is black or don’t know Osama bin Laden is dead. See below:

2.) Anyone who uses the words heterodox and orthogonal in everyday speech — like MSNBC host Chris Hayes.

1.) American relatives of the guy below:
