here is an article describing his supporters being low information 

it also seems like they might have lower intelligence and critical thinking skills. i cant prove this point, but the low information thing looks to be true if you google credible google websites. now, trump supporters are disproportionately low formal education and blue collar. can people like me pick up on this via their poor reasoning and education? i think it's probably a noticeable thing if these facts are all true. 

so it seems trump largely relies on low information voters, poorly educated voters, and his cult of personality and demagoguery. 

what do we see on this website? a whole heck of a lot of poor reasoning ability from trump supporters. irrelevant arguments and denying all terms and conditions even when they are veritably true. a lot of alternative realities and 'alternative facts'.

Trump supporters live in virtual reality where if Trump is president, things are great, and if they dont elect him again, there will be WW3, massive inflation, economy collapse and migrants eating our pets.

Does this sound stupid? Yes!

Sure there are some simpletons on the right represented here, but I'd put left-tribe nuts against right-tribe nuts in this context and in most contexts.

I have smoking gun examples of either extraordinary stupidity or dogmatism on all those names BTW. Amber & TWS are the only right-tribers I would put in this bucket. One exception, ebuc is simply insane; not exactly dogmatism.

I wonder what would be a "low-propaganda-voter?"

How do you feel about far left media sources exponentially losing their audience after the Nov election?

A Zedku for the People


Dogs bark and sheep bleat.

Clever stupid gene.

Yin and Yang.


Trump will be dead soon enough.

And then ordinary Americans will once again,

Bleat over two more overpriced egos.


It's a tradition.

It's culture

As is death.

A lot of people are low information. In order to capture a majority of the vote, a candidate usually needs to appeal to the LCD. This unflattering point is just spin.

It all depends on how well you interpret this data.

I see that Trump voters are low educated because they are poor or low middle class. So if these people vote for Trump is merely because they have been affected the most by the Biden-Harris administration. Remember that the inflation touches more the poor than the rich.

Besides, I think the vote for Trump was more of a vote against Biden-Harris tandem. As I said multiple times, Americans were fed up with the economic situation as Biden was fucking up with the financial aid to Ukraine and Israel. There was no way that Biden or Harris, or whatever the democrat candidate is, could defeat Trump.
