To be a leftist, is it a prerequisite to hate the west?

It seems the leftists would rather click sad and confused emojis rather than post. Cowards

 

I clicked 'Confused' because your initial post makes no sense. There is no premise, no coherent argument and therefore no logical conclusion. 

 

Apart from that, it's fine. Mind you, TBF you are not on your own;  your post is no different to most of the others in this thread.

That would be some achievement as I'm not sure how the comments could be more banal and simplistic. 

 

But hey, give it a shot, go ahead and surprise me.

To be a MAGA, must you hate America, the Constitution and the rule of law?

 

We have a fascist scum leader who thinks beating cops and trying to hang the Vice President is okay. In fact, be convicted of those things, and one becomes not a felon (like him), but a "hostage". Sick.

 

The clown also hates the First Amendment, as he sent goons to beat and tear gas folks who were exercising their First Amendment right of peaceful protest in Lafayette Park, just so he could perform a photo op holding a Bible upside down in front of a church.

 

Oh, and he hates 'free speech', as his front man Elon says anyone who criticizes Elon should be jailed.

 

He does love him some racists, though, as tikitorchers who chant "Jews will not replace us" are "some very fine people".

 

To be a real MAGA, is it a requirement to have the IQ of a turnip? I see most do, save for the billionaires seeking tax cuts. I know none of the members here are billionaires (the liberal 'lefty' who was closest left the site, and my own billionaire status is limited to such currencies as the Thai baht; I know the truck driver and the serial poster who swears by 35 baht meals do not come close).

 

When I review election demographics and see that areas won by liberal candidates produce per capita GDP that dwarfs MAGA-stan, I guess I can see the need for loser MAGAs to try to live vicariously through their love muffin, a guy who spent most of his adult life living off daddy and eventually squandering a massive inheritance---until Mark Burnett made him a Game Show Host and manufactured a fantasy of a "successful businessman" (LOL). I guess supposedly running everything from a real estate empire to a travel agency to a bottled water maker to a guy selling steaks still leaves 60+ hours a week to prepare for Game Show hosting responsibilities.

 

Blue areas in 2024, despite being geographically smaller than Red, produce 62% of US GDP, while all of MAGAstan comes in at a mere 38%. Even Venezuela would be ashamed of that degree of relative failure. MAGAs might show some appreciation to all those "lefties" who carry them and allow them to pretend they actually contribute something of value to America.

 

Funny that those suggesting liberals hate the West live in Thailand. They also hate migrants to their home countries who don't assimilate and who change the culture, all while not assimilating but berating the culture of Thailand.

 

I guess to be a MAGA, besides being dumb, an armchair "warrior", likely obese, a failure, and most certainly a coward, one must also be a hypocrite.

 

Sucks to be a MAGA, but hey, you have similarly brain addled friends, cowards and bozos with whom you can seek solace.

Democrats have a lower IQ as proven by science and witnessed online by rants.

 

Individuals who identify as Republican have slightly higher verbal intelligence (2–5 IQ points)

•

Individuals who vote Republican have slightly higher verbal intelligence (2 IQ points)

•

Verbal intelligence is correlated with socially and economically liberal beliefs (β = .10-.32)

Congratulations. You took up my challenge to Hotsun and succeeded. 

 

It was possible to dumb down the comments even further.

Suggesting that your initial statement is nonsensical and that the subsequent comments of those who support you are banal and simplistic are not mutually exclusive statements.

It is impossible to comment on the findings of this particular study as your link provides only the Abstract. Post a link to the full article and the methodology can be examined. Notwithstanding that, the conclusion suggests correlation not causation.

 

Also worth noting that the research methods employed by the author in many of his other studies have been widely discredited by his peers e.g. "Academic scrutiny of Noah Carl's [OpenPsych] papers clearly reveals selective use of data and unsound statistical methods which have been used to legitimise racist stereotypes about groups" — Clement Mouhot, Professor of Mathematics, Cambridge University

I’m impressed by your attempt at a logical, non-ad hominem argument, albeit poorly executed.
 

Relying on a 2014 study with data from 2004–2014 to claim intellectual superiority is outdated, especially considering the shifts since Trump’s rise. While the study found a slight verbal IQ advantage for Republicans, the GOP demographic has since become defined by populism and anti-intellectualism, with Trump leading a base that rejects intellectual elites.
 

Under Trump, science denial and conspiracy theories surged, particularly around climate change, COVID-19, and the 2020 election. Research indicates that college-educated individuals are less likely to believe in misinformation, while those with lower education levels are more susceptible.

Trump’s populist rhetoric has deepened this divide, with demographic shifts now showing that higher education correlates with Democratic support and lower education with Republican loyalty. Since the 2014 study didn’t account for these changes, its findings are less relevant today.

So normal capitalists are dumber now in 2024/25 because a socialist says so. Sure I believe you just like Biden wasn't senile

It is easy actually. Just look at socialist predictions

 

US elections 1/3, 33%

Trump will start ww3 0/1

Trump will cause high inflation 0/1

Trump is going to jail 0/1

Biden has no health issues 0/1

 

Socialists score 1/7  or 14.3%

 

Not very smart at all.
