Seeing the same old predictable jokes and pun threads as top comments with thousands of upvotes in serious posts was one of my least favourite things about Reddit.

Any post related to WWII - Top comment “I did Nazi that coming!” 5000 upvotes

The circle jerk was truly shit.

About one hundred million people declined to vote at all.

You’re getting down votes because the truth hurts. People in the echo chamber don’t want to hear anything except “Trump bad”.

To sum up your comment succinctly it can simply be said that the democratic party failed to relate with and engage the electorate, something that Trump did successfully.

4. 11% more women voted than men, if they all voted democrat, they would have won easily.

You could argue that a proportion of these women are brainwashed or whatever else but the simple fact of the matter is that not enough of them felt engaged with democratic policies.

Research requires a critical mind. Think of a person you know that has average intelligence, 50% of people are more stupid than that.

And I’m not saying that stupidity is solely an issue for the republican electorate, I’m just saying “do your own research” is an unrealistic expectation.

People need to be engaged with.

More like the oligarchy now have 99% of the power rather than 98%.

The issue is that we believe we have a free democracy when the only power we have is to put an X in a box every few years. The system isn’t broken, it’s working as it’s designed to.

The rest of the world is concerned about US politics because they are essentially the world police due to the size and power of their army.

If you stopped sending bombs, warships and fighter jets around the world, stopped interfering with foreign politics and just focused on NASA, Hollywood and music we’d all love you.

Ah yes, the classic scalper mobile haha

I think that’s called “lowest common denominator” politics and whilst I understand why it could seem like the natural thing to do, it’s not something I’ll be taking part in.

Sorry that we would rather have free healthcare and things like that, good luck!

What do Subaru’s have to do with anything lol?

I’ve said for a while that I would be absolutely unsurprised to see another Trump term, we live in the post-satire era.

I think a lot of people need to have a good hard look at themselves due to the ridicule and derision they directed at the opposition electorate rather than trying to engage them and win them over.

I’d suggest that he’s at least average intelligence.

I think people are struggling to accept that I can dislike someone, or disagree with their choices without thinking they’re stupid.

I agree that it could just be a poor choice of words and it could just be an insult, if you think he’s evil, a cunt or whatever else say that instead though.

I’m getting tired of the comments that imply not stupid = smart.

I understand that intelligence is on a scale and that is not a black and white issue. I also understand that wealth ≠ intelligence, however in this case I do believe that he has at least average intelligence.

This is the last “Elon Musk is not a genius” type comment that I’m replying too, I’ve said all I have to say on the matter.

I think a lot of people hate Musk (understandably) so they call him stupid to make themselves feel better with disregard to the meaning of the word.

If you’re referring to Twitter, I’ve already stated that I think he intentionally wanted to derail it.

I agree. Most of the replies here imply that I must think he’s a genius, as if people can only either be stupid or a genius.

I do not think he’s a genius, I do think that he knows what he’s doing.

I’ve already said elsewhere in the thread that I’m not claiming that he’s some sort of 200 level IQ genius. I’m saying he’s not stupid.

Once again this is an opinion and you’re fully entitled to that. But I think what you really mean is “I think he’s stupid for what he’s trying to be”.
