Dumbling-down

Doubling-down on a dumb, stupid, idiotic comment.

Literally anything said by President Trump, to which he and/or his deplorable sycophants follows with an even more dumb comment.
First, Trump calls a bunch of countries shithole, then tried to deny it and now his followers are saying it's "bar-room talk". These morons are just dumbling-down on his vileness & racism.

Dumbing Down

1: The process by which products are stripped of depth and complexity in order to simplify them for the masses.

2: The removal of complexity for the purpose of mass appeal.

3: The homogenization of entertainment and media.
"Plots, Scripts, and Stories are all too complicated for the general masses. By dumbing down movies we can broaden their mass appeal."

"Thanks to the Dumbing Down of Spore many found the game to be uninteresting and unenjoyable once the initial gimmick wore off."

"The Discovery Network achieved higher ratings by Dumbing Down it's programming."

dumbing down

The act of taking a product and watering down elements of it to make it appeal to a broader mass market. This often damages or destroys the very elements that gave the product any appeal in the first place.
Today, many video games are dumbed-down in an attempt to reach mass market audiences for higher profits, instead of loyal hardcore niche audiences.

The Dumbing Down Of America

The undeniable truth that Americans are spending there energy disputing others opinions that differ from their own, instead of making a definable definition of themselves and their own actions in the real world. Hence making the culture that we live in now prone to mindless banter about subjects that are amazingly uninteresting. Also in leaving a gap between the intelligence that is tangible and widely understood and the intelligence that is in your own imagination, or a product of the misinformation that is so widely marketed to people.
By simply disputing my own definition and not posting your own newly original definition you are contributing to The Dumbing Down Of America.
I am aware as well that by writing this I am contributing too.

Bill: Hey, Jim I can't seem to understand why it's important to learn tolerance, understanding, and self control of my thoughts and actions?
Jim: Well that's why you are direct contributing factor to The Dumbing Down Of America.
Bill: HUH? Is that some sort of newfangled math?
Jim: No, you probably thought the Inquisition was a fun retreat for non believers.
