Besides coming across as iamverysmart, that doesn't match the actual demographics. Somehow, low-IQ people are all born poor, white, male and decades ago? You could make the argument for the tendency to be uneducated, but even that's not a perfect correlation with raw intelligence.

I'm not sure what your argument is. I'm not saying all dumb people are poor. Absolutely not the case. There are plenty of absolute morons who are rich that support Trump. I literally never made any correlation claims about wealth?

Also I'm not talking about myself at all so idk why you took this as me saying i am very smart? Weird take...

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
