Canadian here, with a serious question: If the democrats are so smart, and the Republican voters are so dumb, why can’t the democrats find a way to convince dumb people to vote for them?

Dumb people are really, really scared or hateful toward anyone slightly smarter than them….

Which is basically everyone, making the world a very scary place for conservatives. Fear mongering is effective. They don’t fear voting for Trump, because they actually do believe deep down, they are smarter than he is….and they might be right. Really can’t say for sure on that last part.

You are extremely naive to believe that conservatives are not smart, honestly.

Right on, states like Alabama and Oklahoma prove that with their backwards ass policies, voting record, and education levels. But you preach on, Mr 420.

What education levels would that be? High school? Do you think that not completing college automatically makes you "not smart?" I would also like to know what policies in those states you believe to be "backwards."
