Liberals when cornered on an issue tend to respond with some pretty awkward and tangential social responses.

Immigration why can't we build a wall? "but what about racism you're racists."

Does this mean you're going to help us build the wall, "NO! because, because you're rapists"

So, it devolves to who can best "trigger" the Democrats.

Interesting. Since the left is so cognitively superior, why aren’t you able to run circles around the right and win every election?


The average IQ is 100. We are simply outnumbered. And Fox News decided to target them and tell them they’re smart and should pay attention to politics. They used to not care about the news and politics because it was boring. Now it gives them a mega dopamine hit and someone to blame for their problems.


As George Carlin once said, "think of how stupid the average person is, and realize that half of them are stupider than that."

The new authoritarians succeed through nihilism. When people think nothing matters, that’s how they win.


I grew up dirt poor, my father was bipolar and alcoholic, my parents split up and he drank himself to death and died young, so I was raised by a single mom. There were times when I was broke and living out of my car, but I worked my ass off, sometimes 2 and 3 part time jobs, I did side hustles, I managed to put myself through college and ended up climbing a career ladder to be successful, own a home, raised a family and am now putting my kid through grad school, and have enough in investments to retire.

That said, I constantly see this stupid nihilism, this "burn it all down" bullshit, this moronic kneejerk attitude of breaking things just because "it will make the libs upset" and it really pisses me off. I worked hard for what I have. Damn hard. And I'm damn thankful for having a country that provided the infrastructure and the stability and opportunities and things that let me succeed and crawl out of a hole of poverty.

But here these MAGA morons want to just break everything and burn everything down and turn America into some kind of third world backwater because they don't know how to govern, and don't care, because if libs are upset it's somehow "good." They don't actually even understand why people are upset. It reminds me of the movie Gremlins where they destroy valuable things, just because. I swear they'd beat their own heads bloody against a brick wall if it got someone upset. Most idiotic crap ever.


Exactly. Breaking and smashing things just to get a reaction. Opposing things just because Democrats support them, even though it had been supported by Republicans previously. Opposing things the country needs just because the Democrats support it.

Democrats may make sone dumb comments and push some dumb things from time to time but this brainless, deranged, destructive, reactionary nonsense that is the core and foundation of MAGA is truly on a whole new level.

It really is hilarious that they stick to this narrative of being so smart, when reality disabuses them daily. Not only are they losing elections, they are losing them because they insist on doing stupid things to lose them.

Then you have DC itself, where they have an absolute super-majority and hammer lock on power. You'd think it would be some sort of utopia, but instead you get a run-down city that can barely run a school system or provide public safety.

So truly intelligent people would actually look at what is going wrong and fix it, where Democrats just keep doubling down on dumb.

This is trumps entire platform. His policies and actions are mostly focused on this. It seems like the number one gauge of efficacy among his supporters. Actually very sad how important this is to them

Also interesting. Why do you, a cognitively superior human, occasionally get bitten by mosquitoes?

Sarcasm aside, the answer to your question is that we don’t live in a direct democracy. Instead of “which side has smarter voters” it’s more like “which side has wealthier donors” and “which side owns more voting machines”.


And which side has gerrymandered their districts for a tyranny of the minority.

Because they literally have nothing better to offer the world. And many run to church to self-soothe and try to rationalize with the Lord Jesus Christ why it's ok to hurt other people.

Deep down, they know they are all pieces of sh*t. Self loathing makes people into horrible a-holes. They want everyone to be as miserable as they are. They can't stand the idea that there are smarter, happier people out there.

I don’t get it either, op. When democrats are in power, I give zero thought to how miserable republicans must be, and I certainly don’t revel in their misery. I don’t want them to be miserable or worse off. I want presidents to do their best for all of us. Not just my party.

It’s not like they have actual popular ideas to run on.


This. Notice over the last 40-50 years that conservatives have fostered an eternal victim mentality. They don't have anything else.
