    Most Trump supporters are white, old, uneducated, male and/or poor. If Trump supporters are all dumb, there must be a strong correlation between these things and being dumb, statistically speaking.

    In fact, Trump supporters may skew a little less intelligent, but there’s also plenty that are smart. (And I won’t even get into the validity of IQ as a valid measure of intelligence)

      If you read my original comment, I said it was a gross simplification. I know how nuanced this is.

        A simplification has to resemble the whole truth, don’t try to play like you didn’t mean it.

          I didn’t say I didn’t mean it. Dang you’re really on some laser focused griefing today aren’t you
