How can white men simultaneously be idiots and villains in our culture?

Pop culture mostly portrays straight white men as bumbling idiots who have to constantly be guided by women, children, and others.
At the same time that culture preaches to us that white men hold all the power and do nothing but keep minorities, homosexuals, and women in chains.
I realize that we now live in a feminized, emotion driven society but surely people can see the contradiction in this?

Same way GWB was a drooling retard that just so happened to be the architect of 9/11 and fooling everyone about Iraq's WMDs.

He actually fooled Colin Powell, one of the brightest people in history.

Can’t speak for others, but I mostly get by in my amazing good looks and charming personality.

SNL did a skit in the late 80s about Reagan in the Oval Office, where they’d have a group of school children or something similar come in and Reagan would act like a feeble old man, and as soon as they left he’d scream “Back to work!” and start plotting deals like Iran-Contra.
Same kind of thinking that SNL parodied.

Don't forget about white bosses. They are all fat, bald headed and smoke cigars.
And then all burglars are white guys. It's in the home alarm system commercials.

It's the same mentality they use to portray women as superheroes and helpless fawns at the same time.

Remember that you have to follow this logic:
1) Not all (group) are alike.
2) (group, as a whole) don't like (thing).
I'm incapable of following logic where it's both offensive to have an opinion/understanding of the tendencies of a culture but to also be insensitive for not understanding the tendencies of a culture/group.

The villains are in power and the idiots vote for them.
I don't actually believe that, just saying how it can work.

What a coincidence! Just this morning I was watching daytime tv, whereas I’m usually at work. It just so happened this white cuck guy was getting destroyed by the two other female contestants. I said to myself that this was typical of today’s times and that the guy was probably purposely chosen as an inferior match to these two women. But of course I realized that that was probably a stretch to suggest that. But then out of curiosity I googled a list of top Jeopardy contestants of all time. Of the top 25, 22 of them were men. And Only one of them was black. So yeah, 3 women. Yet the media is shoving all this crap down our throats incessantly about the useless incompetent white male. Sorry I can’t suspend belief long enough to endure a movie like Proud Mary. Not happening.

I'm having some IRL cognitive dissonance about this.
I have lots of friends (males) who are married. I could divide them into 2 groups:
Slightly above average IQ... 105-115
Bright... over 115
When either group is discussing family life and their wives they all agree that their spouse is smart. But when I ask 'Is your wife as intelligent as you?" I get a very different answer.
The 105-115 group says 'Oh yes, she's smarter than me."
The over 115 group says 'No, not close.'
The only thing I can think of is that women tend toward center of IQ. So, the farther a man goes from center the fewer women there are in his range.

Same way they portray Trump as a bumbling baffoon who is the worst candidate/President of all time, while at the same time saying he and his campaign have been colluding with another world power and did such a good job of covering their tracks that it’s taken a year+ of every media outlet and a special counsel to still not find any evidence of it.

i had a lib friend of mine tell me that libs were smarter than conservatives. i asked him how he knew this. showed me a chart where the average lib was 107 and the avg conservative was 104. i told him it showed me that politicized people are a bunch of dumb asses.
he didn't get it...

Liberals don't make sense. When you allow emotions to dictate your actions, nothing really makes sense.

you have to realize that they see the ways that men get ahead (aggression, force, strength, etc) as cheating and make that evil
you can be dumb and aggressive. you can be dumb and use force. you can be dumb and use strength.
once you realize this, it makes a lot more sense

Villains because we don't want to pay the taxes the government deserves. Idiots because we can't possibly comprehend the necessity of supporting those whose social lot in life with those tax dollars. We are blinded by privilege
