Today is an IQ test

Me thinks that low levels of cognitive sophistication may lead people to embrace simple cognitive shortcuts, like stereotypes and prejudices that were amplified by the Trump campaign. Additionally, the simple linguistic style presented by Trump may have appealed to voters with limited education and cognitive sophistication.

Trump's campaign may also have been more attractive to people with low cognitive sophistication and a preference for low-effort information processing because compared to other candidates Trump's speeches were given at a much lower reading level. Much of the Trump campaign's rhetoric and orientation may have resonated with the poorly educated and cognitively unsophisticated.

How many times can you say cognitively unsophisticated and poorly educated in one post? Where do you people get this poorly educated crap anyway? I keep hearing that. Is this something college professors are telling students now to inflate their self worth as democrat voters. It’s just really odd.

It seems a person so cognitively sophisticated wouldn't be so repetitive.


What an inefficient way to say Trump voters are stupid.

Post grad degrees skew heavily dem while high school or less skew heavily pub.

Now it doesn't necessarily mean "better" educated but it does clearly show dem voters achieved higher levels in school.

Are significantly different than traditional Pub economic policy which disappeared with Romney - Ryan a decade ago. If Trump follows through on extensive tariffs and labor deportations, then there is risk of significant disruption to the solid glide path the economy is on. Of course Trump may be talked out of it or claim to make some sort of deal.
Another good thing about a Trump win is that the deficit won’t be a thing for the next four years.

More degrees does not make a person more likely to make wise choices.

Well just so you know I have 3 college degrees and I just voted Trump. I guess I’m an outlier Hugh? But I do disagree with you on something. While working on an advanced degree I noticed that many of my fellow students and professors had absolutely zero common sense.

A trump voter is either not very smart or gullible; gotta be one of the two.

I’m open to other explanations, but I see no other.

In 2016 I figured they were stupid. But then I saw friends and relatives, that were not stupid, supporting Trump. Common theme among all these folks? Gullible. Easily swayed by simplistic comforting BS.

A'int it great how the Democratic Party had the monopoly on poorly educated whites, blacks and Hispanic folks for so long.

Just a few years ago, those groups could cognitively decide what they thought was in their best interest.

Now these rubes perhaps due to excessive vaping have lost brain power as less educated whites,many Hispanics and at least black men in much greater numbers appear poised to vote for Trump.

Meanwhile, the ever smart country club Pubs are edging ever more to the Dem Party.

Democrats used to not be snobs, that was the the vibe of the Republican Party.

Yep Trump voters brains are just garbage. Am I right?

Sir, when you graduate with a 4.0 in Gender Studies it's almost impossible not to know you're the most cognitively sophisticated person in the room.

I think Trump voters are tired of unvetted illegal immigration, censorship of free speech, government overreach, and far left radicals pushing gender ideology.
If that makes me low IQ I’ll wear that badge with honor. RIP P-nut the squirrel
