Some of you are spending your Friday and Saturday nights having the same "I'm smart; you're stupid" thoughtless p!ssing contest that you've repeated ad nauseam for years. It's tragically pathetic. Touch grass.
let people spend their Fridays and Saturdays how they want, Paris Hilton.
Republicans are not the only party trying to sway low IQ voters. Both parties are guilty of this due to the fact that democratic elections are popularity contests, not mensa competitions. There are plenty of barely literate voters showing up to vote for Democrats. C'mon man, be honest, Biden and Harris are probably two of the dumbest lawyers in America.
I don't disagree with what you posted, and illiterates who vote Democrat are in legion. But that's not what I was talking about. I was responding to Adult's false claim that "neocons joined the left when Trump showed up" and "betrayed a lifetime of belief in order to oppose Trump." That's obviously not what happened. It was people like Adult that made a seismic shift into some weird, amorphous, inconsistent bag of Trump ideas/slogans (I hesitate to call anything about Trump an actual policy), thereby betraying a lifetime of supposedly strongly held conservative beliefs.
George W. Bush and Dick Cheney voted for Hillary Clinton.
David Frum voted for Hillary Clinton.
John McCain voted for Hillary Clinton.
These people spent have their political careers opposing the Clintons.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
Trump's policies were more conservative than GW's.
Kamala is very smart. She’s just not a strong politician. Terrible strategy, weak at improvising, lacking in charisma. Her lineage is impressive. Hard to say why she went to Hastings. I’m guessing she could go to a top 20 law school but not a top 5 so she had to take a different route/strategy to power than just doing the Harvard thing.
No one who has ever heard this woman speak thinks she is very smart.
If Harris was white or asian she'd be on her back or flipping burgers.
She is half Asian and I have heard the woman speak. Sounding smart is not the same as being smart.
Harris would be one of the dumbest fast food workers in America and Biden doesn't know what planet he's on.

She likely went to Hastings because they had an affirmative action program that would look past less than stellar grades / LSAT scores (As far as her lineage is concerned, both parents are PhDs. With that type of lineage, one should not require affirmative action. Affirmative action was meant to help those who did not come from advantaged households. She likely took a law school spot from a white guy who didn't have two PhDs for parents). If she could have gotten into a prestigious law school, she would have. She also failed the bar exam. If intelligence is the metric you most value for politics, then you should vote for DeSantis in the next presidential election and stop opposing things like the nomination of ACB to the Supreme Court.
It's the other way around. Having never understood the principles they thought they believed, lower IQ Republican voters joined Trump when Trump showed up. People like you, Carmine, Boebert, Gohmert, Postlethwaite. They suddenly betrayed a lifetime of belief in order to oppose actual conservative principles, policies and thought.
Why?
LOL!
Which Trump policies were anti-conservative? Do you have any idea?
Criticism of global trade. Conservatives usually want free trade and not protectionism. The economy doesn't want "America first". Capitalism doesn't want less globalization. Donald does.
Conservatives are all about respecting institutions, Trump literally wants to tear them down and "drain the swamp". Trump is anti-conservative because he wants to change everything. His support think they are starting a revolution, not conserving anything.

Globalism isn't a conservative principle.
Not wanting to be the world's piggy bank and police force isn't "protectionism" and opposing it isn't anti-conservative it's anti-leftist.
Every American should want to "drain the swamp". Corruption, fraud, waste and abuse are the norm in Washington. We're $30 trillion in debt and we can't sign a clean bill on ANYTHING without special interest pork all over it. It shouldn't just be "Trump supporters" who think this is a problem.
Racist assumption: She likely took a law school spot from a white guy who didn't have two PhDs for parents).
Straight from the Cult of Trump !
Actually, it's a high probability statement backed by statistics. Only 3.16% of the population has a doctorate (and probably fewer did back in 1986). The odds that another candidate would have two parents with doctorates is about 0.1%. Law school admissions and applicants in 1985-1986 had just passed the 40% female mark, so there is a 60% chance that the first candidate denied admission was a male. Even today, the largest racial demographic at UC Hastings College of Law (47%) is white (next largest demographic is Asian at 21.3%). Back in 1986 it probably had a higher percentage of students that were white. So, in all likelihood, the first student denied admission was likely a white male whose parents did not have a doctorate (and probably had a higher LSAT score / grades than Kamala, who was admitted through LEOP).
The Legal Education Opportunity Program (LEOP) offers special consideration in admission to applicants who have been subject to significant adversity that may have prevented them from attaining numeric criteria that fully reflect their motivation, talent, and academic and professional ability. While standard numeric criteria are considered in LEOP admissions, added emphasis is placed on non-numeric criteria.

So you say. And even if true, their voting behavior, like many Americans, would be voting AGAINST Trump, rather than for Clinton or Biden or anyone else. I can tell you that as what my liberal family and friends call an "arch-conservative," that I easily voted for Biden rather than deal with 4 more years of Trump's spastic, inconsistent rants on Twitter.

HAHA! Well, that wouldn't be difficult since George Bush Jr. was the first and only socialist President the US has ever had. Bernie Sanders is more conservative than GW.
You are one Kool-Aid drinking dude if you believe Trump is a conservative. Start with his anti-US military statements. He actually complained about the "US military-industrial complex." He actually used that hippie/Woke term and criticized it. You'd think he was slathering himself in patchouli and getting high in Haight-Ashbury. Now, he had no idea what he was referring to or what he was complaining about when he said that -- like he often does, he just impulsively said that stuff because some general had called him an idiot, or something. It is NOT, however, a conservative position to pretend the US military is an untethered enemy of the American people, despite your apparently successful self-delusion endeavor to convince yourself that it always has been.
We could go on. Maybe this list of yours will be made in increments.

Globalism is about removing the barriers to the movement of capital, goods, and labor so that supply and demand is the driving force of the global marketplace. Trump’s trade policies are the opposite of that and are much closer to Bernie Sanders than traditional conservative principles.

There are highly intelligent people (140+) all across the political spectrum. I don’t think DeSantis is any smarter than Pete or even Bernie and the three men represent very different ideologies. It’s an obvious mistake to think that your political ideas are backed up by intelligence.

I'm not a fan of Hillary Clinton. I wouldn't vote for Al Qaeda to keep her out of office. It is pure stupidity to vote for the polar opposite of your own beliefs to keep a member of your own party out of office for personal reasons.
Trump governed as a conservative whether you're aware of it or not. You can't give any examples of him being un-conservative because you have no idea what you're talking about.
The "us military-industrial complex" is a term coined by Eisenhower. A republican. Trump mentioned it because he tried to end the forever wars and the neo-con trash and swamp trash came out of the woodwork to destroy him for it. He knew exactly what he was talking about. It's been almost 80 years since Eisenhower said it and you STILL have no idea what he meant... lol.
I'm a veteran. Trump was very pro-military. He said some unartful things about McCain but McCain is a walking talking embodiment of the swamp. If guys like Bolton and McCain got their way we'd be at war with half the world FOREVER.

That's a very simplistic definition.
Globalism is not possible without the US navy.
Some people believe hamstringing the US in favor of leftists in Europe and Asia isn't in America's best interest.
Trump was for fair trade. Not wanting to get fleeced shouldn't be a controversial position.

Some pretty convoluted logic in that post. Unwittingly defeats the whole underlying reason for affirmative action to begin with. "We aren't really awarding jobs to blacks because black people would have got the jobs anyway"? WTF? Orwellian doublespeak.
All the post WWII Republicans from Ike to Bush Jr. were staunch defenders of the Western Alliance.
45 takes the words of Putin over those of his own DNI.
Trump wasn't anti-western alliance he was anti paying to babysit Europe when Europe wouldn't even pay to defend itself.
Trump told Germany to pay it's promised 2% into NATO and to get off the Russian teat. Germany and the idiots on the left laughed at him. Then Russia invaded and now the idiot Germans are in the middle of an energy crisis of their own making.
Trump said if the entire point of NATO is opposing Russia why is Europe buying all of its oil and gas from its primary threat?
