President Donald Trump

I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?

So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at

As Trump supporters turn on him, Trump calls them ‘stupid’

I don't want their support anymore


Multiquote has been gone for many years and it's a goddamned travesty. I'm still on the old version, and it's nowhere to be found.

Not on a PC

I'm on PC...
Now posting pics I just can't make it work, old forum was easier for that.

edit: on PC using new version of the forum.


Oh, new version is abomination



Using old forum to post the pic of the new forum.

But it's just not true that the republican voting base has an IQ of 70 lol

The average isn't that low, but surely you understand exaggerating to make a point.

Trump does love the uneducated, because that is his voting base.


Good old Luciom straw-manning again. I said the core of HIS voting base, not "the republican voting base." The core meaning the key component. I fully stand by low IQ voters being the core of his voters. Dunno if its sub 70, but it's LOW. This is proven amply to me every single day.


The truth is that having an average or above or genius IQ doesn’t mean your political opinions won’t be ****. There were genius nazis.

On the whole, smarter people will make smarter decisions.

This!!!

The 'low IQ' argument is ridiculous.

It's the kind of argument a racist would use, to wit:

"Black people on average have a lower IQ than White people, which is why they overwhelmingly vote Democrat."

Silly and dumb and not helpful.

I don't really care to make a distinction between IQ and critical thinking ability

I think its blatantly obvious there is a strong link between advanced education and advanced critical thinking

When people with advanced degrees overwhelmingly can sus out that the Republicans have largely been spewing endless nonsense for the last 10 years it basically becomes indesputable

I'm sure this will offend your sensibilities and your reaction will be to reject the notion but its incredibly evident that Republican voters can't parse together large amounts of data to form cohesive views and thats why they lean on ridiculous conspiracy instead of historical fact

And at that level whats the distinction between IQ and critical thinking?

True, but smarter decisions may not mean the best thing.

High IQ people often lack empathy. Being the best at advertisement, generating revenue or negotiating better for selfish reasons aren't necessarily the smart decisions in another regard.

Yeah, I thought about this after I made that post.

Yes. And smart people often delude themselves into thinking they know more than they do about areas outside their expertise.

Also, it depends on what the values and preferences of the smart person are. An evil smart person will be capable of more evil things than an evil dumb person. So it becomes a wash there.

I doubt the federalist society is full of dummies.

True, but some political views do mean that you're not intelligent, at least as applied to particular politicians.

For example, anyone who believes that Trump cares about them, or about anyone but himself, cannot possibly be intelligent. Same thing for anyone who thinks he is sincere, honest, capable, or even a good businessman.

People of every level of intelligence often lack empathy. Do you really think there's a correlation?


limited research on the topic actually shows a stronger link between lower intelligence and lower eq/empathy

this really shouldn't be counterintuitive



Oh Boy!!

That would have been my guess, except for the autism factor.
