  • Americans are being lied to all day, every day, by complicit corporate media backing an ever more corrupt establishment. This is not exclusive to Republicans by any stretch of the imagination: remember all the people clamouring against the “Bernie Bros”? I’m sure some of the people taking this extreme position against Republican voters were also bashing Bernie Bros and saying “it’s her turn”.

    Where did that get you people, huh? Sanders and AOC extend an olive branch and fill up stadiums, while you continue to try to drive even more wedges between us. “He will not divide us”? You were right, because OP and people like OP are all too happy to drive the wedge in on their own. Trump is not the thing you’re fighting against, he’s effectively what you’re fighting for. Go ahead, keep driving people away to the right and see what happens.



  • Selection bias. The nature of Reddit and its past as a liberal free speech zone lends (lended?) itself to particular traits. Reddit’s average user is some combination of the following:

    • male
    • in a STEM job or training/educated for STEM work
    • grew up middle-class
    • downwardly mobile
    • has ADHD or autism

    Altogether this does actually mean IQ probably trends a bit higher on average. That doesn’t mean shit for the quality of your arguments if you don’t critically examine your beliefs though, and anyone spouting American media talking points is not examining anything.
