Re: Perhaps the Best Evidence of Trump's Stupidity Yet.

aw come on,he can claim to not know the women whether or not he remembers. He can claim to know about the lawyers without meaning he knows their employer. He can claim stuff about the lawyers without knowing much of anything about them. Any of these or variations fit his usual dodge and sew confusi...

Re: Perhaps the Best Evidence of Trump's Stupidity Yet.

I'd just like to point out that the best evidence Trump is stupid is Trump's whole life. But this here is a dead giveaway: “I just posted a $91 million bond on a fake story. Totally made up story,” Mr Trump said. “Based on false accusations made about me by a woman that I knew nothing about, didn’t ...

Re: Weaponizing Stupidity

The only stupidity I see is in people who allowed themselves to bamboozled by the COVID fearmongers... Exactly, when they could be rectally inserting horse dewormers and inhaling bleach as Trump recommended. I am not surprised at all on the limited amount of stupidity ajax observes. It's like an an...

Re: The MAGA movement needs to grow up

Most people don't want to live in a dictatorship. I get the feeling most people have barely considered what it would be like. It's a remote idea they don't really believe is possible in America. They've bathed in democracy so long, they're spoiled. MAGA likes to whine about the state of our governm...

Re: Weaponizing Stupidity

Totally unrelated, here's a study published in Psychological Science on how lower cognitive ability is a reliable predicter for someone holding social conservatism, or right-wing authoritarianism ideologies.

Re: Weaponizing Stupidity

I guess I'm still naïve and romantic enough to be surprised that this time there's no Washington, Lincoln or Wilson, FDR, JFK. There isn't even Obama. There's Biden. I'm pretty sure they're still out there. They are simply unelectable in this culture, so they aren't running. I've been playing this ...

Re: The MAGA movement needs to grow up

MAGA is based on the rantings of an old man who never grew up, so it's not even possible. Infantilism is built into the "movement." Grown-ups don't talk like Trump or any of his loyal (idiotic) fans, because maturity prevents it. Maturity is directly correlated with taking responsibility, which is a...

Weaponizing Stupidity

In my search for answers as to why anyone would support Trump, one thing I've heard many times but has really gripped me today is that many people like Trump simply because he "pisses off the establishment." I heard one Trump supporter explicitly state he doesn't mind being lied to because he knows ...

Re: Are people really basically good?

You really test my faith in humanity with your posting habits, ajax18. It seems there are some terrible people in the world who have a hard time imagining that not everyone is selfish and terrible as they are. They project. And as a result, their public policy opinions reflect that selfishness. The...
