Half of people have a below average IQ. More like 65% of older adults are both below average thinkers and above average voters. Why would you think skepticism would be a suitable response to misinformation? The only mathematically viable way to combat such misinformation is to disenfranchise people too stupid to be in charge of anything that effects other people's lives.

Do you sincerely think that a person that manages to be elected is stupid? An elected president might be a lot of stuff, some of them bad, but stupid he surely isn't.

  Why is getting elected proof of intelligence? We literally elected the guy that convinced an overwhelming number of uneducated people that he was going to build a wall to keep the illegals from stealing their jobs.

    Illegal Immigration does have an affect on blue collar jobs. You can research this yourself, btw. There is a truckload of studies. https://www.nber.org/digest/may07/effects-immigration-african-american-employment-and-incarceration https://www.nber.org/digest/may07/effects-immigration-africa... http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/pub/Immigration/EffOnMinorities/MHReport.html http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/pub/Immigration/EffOnMinoritie... https://www.c-span.org/video/?204714-1/illegal-immigration-african-american-workers https://www.c-span.org/video/?204714-1/illegal-immigration-a...

  I actually can't tell if you're being sarcastic. Intelligence is not a prerequisite for being elected, and in many cases intelligence is a disadvantage. Most people are stupid, and they would rather see one of their own in positions of power. Dumb people can more easily connect with certain areas of the electorate. Examples of this phenomenon are so copious and obvious that I shan't point them out.
