Sure. But I can tell you that it was such messaging that helped elect Trump. You can dismiss me as stupid, and all of the electorate that voted for Trump too.

Sure. But I can tell you that it was such messaging that helped elect Trump. You can dismiss me as stupid, and all of the electorate that voted for Trump too. But it's not exactly brilliant to configure your messaging only to be properly understood by people as brilliant as yourself.
- antonvs 2y agoNo, that's nonsense. What you're essentially saying is that discussions of controversial issues should be held at no more than a 7th-grade level to avoid anyone getting the wrong idea. People get the wrong idea because they want to. They're not turning into fascist racial and gender supremacists because someone was mean to them. That's just who they were all along, and all it took was someone to come along and exploit that, and for others not to do enough about it.
