Until Sunday, I was a huge fan of Jim Carrey. Alongside Jeff Daniels, Carrey is responsible for the greatest movie in history: “Dumb and Dumber.”
On Sunday, however, Carrey sent out a particularly idiotic tweet.
I woke up this morning in Hawaii with ten minutes to live. It was a false alarm, but a real psychic warning. If we allow this one-man Gomorrah and his corrupt Republican congress to continue alienating the world we are headed for suffering beyond all imagination. ;^\ pic.twitter.com/Kwca91IIy2

There are a number of reasons that tweet is so stupid.
First off, it plays to the notion long adored by foreign leaders like Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping of China that Americans are inherently weak. When he woke up and saw the news, Carrey immediately assumed that a ballistic missile attack was going to kill him. Why? The most appropriate response here would have been “I woke up this morning in Hawaii and thought, ‘do I have ten minutes to live?'”
