Teamsters didn't endorse Kamala Harris for not committing to keep Lina Khan as FTC Chair. Trump just announced that he is firing her for a pro-business stooge. Play stupid games win stupid prices. Trump

Sure. after the election, since she didn't tell us that she was even considering voting for Trump until after the election - when she sheepishly told us that she voted for Trump and hoped we wouldn't judge her for it. ^@%@&@%&@;@

Of course you’re right to judge her for it. I found out a person I previously thought was at least somewhat above average intelligence called Trump a genius, unironically. Makes me question my own ability to suss out bullshit.

If they come from a religious background, it's no surprise. They were raised to believe in things blindly and that god protects good people and constantly challenges their fate, and they should stick with god no matter what. That bad things happen to bad people, and those who don't follow their strict religious way are bad people tempted by the devil.

The Republican party constantly pretends to be on the side of god and use smart vocabulary to paint their competitors as work of the devil. It's why they have so many conspiracy theorists, they want to feel smart and create connections to the way they were raised and things they have been hearing from their church. If liberals are tempted by the devil, then what other unholy things have they done. It helps them feel secure in their belief and superior to others.

It never surprises me when latinos support Trump. Or how many black people have conservative views if they grew up in a religious household, but don't vote for the GOP only because they faced prosecution for being black.

I don't know if I would call it smart. Quite the opposite, actually. Trump speaks so easily to them because he's at about a 5th grade level, thus meeting them where they are.

I didn't say the followers were smart. But the importance of words cannot be underestimated. There's a reason for the words used, as each carries a specific significance and emotional reaction. Like pro-life and not anti-choice or anti-abortion. The choice of words let's them take deniability of limiting anything but instead they safeguard life. What they say and what they do are two different things, but they only see what they claim they do.

Highly educated people tend to have the highest likelihood to develop tunnel vision. They feel like their smartness from one thing equates in smartness to everything. So they do little to no research and think they understand everything due to their history of understanding one thing.

TLDR: your sister in law has great intelligence in one thing and is completely ignorant with overconfidence to everything else.

Just following a complicated, but specialized, instruction sheet. Not figuring it out themselves.
