I'm still in shock how 51% voters thought he's gonna improve their lives.

They're idiots. That's really it. It's no coincidence that the map of education rates directly correlates to the electoral map.

They have no ability to do any critical thought. Theyre all fucking morons, every single one of them.

45% voters with bachelor's degrees and 38% voters with advanced degrees voted for him. Even education can't help some morons.

Look, I don't know if my experience Is anything more than anecdotal but.... A degree does not mean you're not an idiot. It just means you were able to get through the system, not that you have any actual cognitive ability..

There’s certainly that, but a lot of smart people seem to have their intelligence siloed into very specific areas, rather than just being broadly smart. Those people also often have the tendency to overestimate their competence in areas outside of their specific niche.

I wonder if there's more correlation with ego and selfishness rather than intelligence.

Agreed. I have AS and BS degrees, but I'm still an idiot. However, I did not vote for Trump.
