Are republicans really this stupid???

[Shogun]

Shouldn't it be easy for so called smarter people to convince dumb people of something?

No

That's not how people work.

No

OK

 

[Shogun]

OK

Save your bytchy faces, it's common knowledge. People's intellects are unique, therefore difficult to appeal to. If you want to appeal to a mass audience you find their commonalities which are the base urges. Sex sells, right? Is sex an intellectual domain? Are the top 5 pop songs complicated musically? Are top 5 movies challenging?

The Republican Party has no shame in appealing to the most base urges in people, urges that take a slight amount of intellect to think past. The goddamn wall, for example. Trump is a caricature of their strategy for the past 30 years.

So the Dems message is a complicated song? Compared to the sexy Republicans.
Does that mean Obama was dumber and/or appealing to more base urges than McCain or Romney?!
Hillary appeals to no one's urges smart or dumb is really the problem.

The Republican strategy has won the senate, the house, the White House, locked up the Supreme Court for the foreseeable future, and secured majority of the governor seats across the country.

Stupid republicans...

Basically, it's hilarious. People on the losing side of everything calling the other side dumb in an open competition.
But when they do win I'm sure it's because they were smart!
Something isn't adding up.

Man I was in a legit coma for an entire week I'm surprised we're STILL here... tbh... I'm surprised he wasn't talking reckless about him since then. But these republicans man they inch us ever closer to the abyss... Every fukking day, every thing they do...

Agreed, In practice though, isn’t winning and having your hand on the steering wheel all that matters?
And what does that say about America?

It says that America is a terrible place with a large number of terrible, stupid and racist people. That has been true for centuries.

And what does that say about America?

No. It says the people with their hands on the steering wheel have chosen to embrace ignorance and fear over knowledge and compassion.

Even this whole idea of “winning” in politics is backwards, but they’ve convinced millions that it’s a zero sum game. Us or them.

I'll just say when you blame people less than you, whether it be poorer or dumber most likely you are being manipulated by someone who is richer or smarter than you. Punch up, not down.

 

[North of Death]

It just shows that they’re easy to manipulate using fear tactics. Same old strategy for decades.

 

[AnonymityX1000]

That's high intellectual campaigning that's genuine and not racist.

Hillary appeals to no one's urges smart or dumb is really the problem.

I've never had a discussion with you where your whole purpose wasn't the blaming of Hillary and corporate Dems.

I don't even disagree with that, but that's not the end all be all to all political discussion.

Move on.

So the Dems don't know this and can't come up with fear tactics of their own?

Your contrarian posts are always highly suspect. :bpohh:
You keep attacking Hillary and Democrats when no one's even discussing or defending them. :bppatrice:

Hillary and Obama don't necessarily represent the thinking of all Democrats, let alone all liberal or left -leaning people.

If you lose to Trump yes, you are to blame. A political novice who isn't that bright and with the Supreme Court in the balance is just inexcusable.
But I posted in the Microsoft acquisition thread, Sam Seder vs Jimmy Dore thread, Canada legalizing Marijuana thread, Cynthia Nixon thread all on the first page of HL without mentioning Hillary. Feel free to read, reply, dap or neg.

I don't think blaming your fellow voters is correct. It is up to the politicians to convince and garner their votes. So when I see posters doing that I'm going to retort and place the blame where I think it lies.
I wonder what is suspect about that?
