If Trump is re-elected what does it say about the I.Q of the average American?

The U.S. Electoral College doesn’t inherently favor one party by design, but in practice, it has recently benefited Republicans due to their strength in smaller, less populous states that are overrepresented relative to their populations.

 

 

So I imagine there will be zero appetite from the GPO to change anything if Trump wins

The devolved nature of the Electoral College also makes it more vulnerable to manipulation. 

 

I am sure that wasn't the design either, but as we saw in 2020 and will most certainly see again this time, if there are "bad faith actors" then it is vulnerable

How so?

Why are you sure that wasn’t the design? 

 

Are you against each state running its own elections?

I'm an American and a US citizen. The most disappointing thing for me about Trump is that so many people (45% or more of voters)  support him. I don't know if they really agree with everything he says or if they are just angry and dissatisfied with their lives and have just been conned by him. Whichever it is, it's very problematic to think there is any hope for my home country going forward. 🥹

or just say that 45% of the population is stupid.

Another well thought out response from the high IQ left, thanks!

This really comes down to how stupid Kamala Harris (Joe Biden) supporters are.

 

Utterly shocking how gullible democratic voters have been.

Harris is not stupid, and the Democrats are generally not gullible. She just cannot answer a question without losing votes. 

 

Democrats want open borders, mass illegal immigration, more DEI,  higher taxes, more giveaways, men in girls’ showers and sports, and that is what Harris will provide.

I didn't read the first 15 pages of petty bickering in this thread, so here are my thoughts as to why 45 or 46% of the US population will vote for Trump.  First let me show you a graph:

spacer.png

 

The Gini coefficient shows the level of economic inequality in a society, it is closely related to the amount of poverty.  During the 1930s (the great depression) the Gini coefficient was quite high. 

From 1945 to about 1980, the Gini coefficient was under .38.  Since then it has been over 40 and is only rising. 

Many Trump voters are older and remember the good old days, which I would refer to as the "US Golden Age", from 1945 to about 1980 or even 1990, when life was much more affordable for almost everyone.  Now the US has become a much more economically stratified society and the people who remember this "US Golden Age"  are tempted to vote for Trump, falsely believing that he will return them to the idyllic age of the mid-twentieth century. 

The sad truth is that the US Golden Age didn't end because of dark-skinned immigrants, or woke LGTQ... people, or the end of predominant Christianity, it ended because the the unbridled greed of the top 1% and a complicit congress that aided them in the endless pursuit of wealth.  Trump is one of the 1% and his tax breaks only made matters worse.  He may win the culture wars, but his followers will end up betrayed and broke.

 

To be honest, I don't think that Harris is much better, but after voting for Bernie a few times, I don't really see much hope for the future of the US regardless of who wins.

Too bad we didn't catch up at either the Harvard or Stanford Alumni Weekend, eh? There's regional Mensa gatherings, so maybe there? We can do an Extra Krispy KFC bucket in honor of the felon (if he's not working the fry station at Macs after his upcoming November defeat, or already working laundry detail at Leavenworth).

 

Incidentally, the felon owns the older, non-college educated white male demographic, which is to say the kind of person the modern economy has obviated. For those with skills and talents, things have never been better. In fact, things have been so good, the successful---mostly Blue States---have been able to carry the loser Red States, funding States like TN, KY and WV's largest "employer": Social Security Disability Insurance, even when it's fraudulently claimed.

 

Those of us not beholden on other successful people to fund a mouth-breather lifestyle, have enjoyed what Biden-Harris have done:

 

---Highest economic growth since the late 1990s under Bill Clinton

---3 times the growth rate of the average G7 economy since 2020

---Highest rate of job growth ever

---First new domestic chip plants being built in decades

---Actual infrastructure improvements

---800,000 new manufacturing jobs

---Record stock market

---UE lowered from the 6.8% level the felon left behind

---End of the Recession the felon left behind

 

Now if somehow the felon wins and kicks out the kind of undocumented workers he employed at Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster, maybe there's a room cleaning or strawberry-picking job for you. It's even possible you could print and bind his Bible, lace his golden sneakers, or build those watches----but only if he moves production to the US from its current Chinese sourcing.

Wow, you seem to have a really high IQ, you must be a leftist, yes? 

 

As such, you support “…open borders, mass illegal immigration, more DEI,  higher taxes, more giveaways, men in girls’ showers and sports, and that is what Harris will provide.”, correct? 

 

I understand how mass illegal immigration benefits the rich, but can you explain how it benefits the working poor and middle class?

 

To me it seems like they put downward pressure on wages, upward pressure housing prices and over burden *schools, hospitals, government benefits and social services. 

 

*Not in rich neighborhoods of course.

When did people in the US start being greedy?

 

Why is it greedy for one to try and keep their money, but not greedy for another group to try and take that money? 

 

Does anyone really believe that the government having more money will improve life for middle class Americans? If so, how?

Indeed, They are not smart to understand how millions of illegals being dumped in their communities, that drive down wages, drive up housing costs, and put significant, disproportionate pressure on schools, hospitals and public servicers is actually good a thing. 

 

And not only are they stupid, but they are bigots. As it turns out, they do not like men strutting around in their daughters' showers. 

 

They do not understand that it is truly fair for men to compete in women's sports, and for male rapists that claim they are women to be locked in the same cell with a biological woman, or why they should pay taxes to provide a violent criminal to have a sex-change operation. 

 

You try to explain to them how much worse protestors rioting for a few hours in the Capitol, is much, much worse than months or rioting, burning and looting. They just don’t get it.

 

Neither do they understand how a 78-year-old man, that was a popular celebrity playboy for thirty years, that is a world famous successful real estate developer, and that was the star of a long running, popular (albeit lame) TV show, and was a successful President,  is all the sudden on the FBI's most wanted list for crimes no can explain, and no one else has ever been charged with, much less convicted of. Things like this confuse them.

 

 

Again, these people are stupid. Only high IQ leftists, with years of university education and multiple advanced degrees are smart enough to understand these things, and if all these dummies would just vote for them we would have a Marxist utopia.

So if what you imply is true that means low iq  rightists were too lazy and self absorbed to vote against the "Marxst Utopia" because they also  were comfortably enjoying short term advantages of leftist policy?

Be happy while you can.

So you make the false claim that that I implied something I didn't, and when you can't support your false claim, you blame me. 

 

Let me guess, you're a leftist. 

 

"Being a leftist means never having to support your claims."
