Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Maybe because he's a fucking moron
He's too stupid to realize that going on and on about how difficult the test was that he aced does not make him look smart. He's too stupid to realize other people know what's on that test and just how straightforward it is. He's too stupid to understand that it's not an intelligence test. He's too stupid.
Now do his supporters!!!
I could completely believe passing this test is impressive to his supporters and that most of them would fail it.
You know there was a whole game show about this.
So stupid....and yet, he got re elected, has the whole government living in fear and is stealing billions in corruption, without any consequences. Sure, he's stupid, and 78 million people who voted for him are geniuses.
Who is the bigger fool, the fool or the one that follows the fool?
Don't forget old...
Has little to do with being old. Bernie Sanders is old but he is sharp. The orange dolt never even approached average except in being a shit-head - he honed this skill.
Sure, if he's the moron, then what do you call the millions who voted for him?
America has an education problem and it's been getting worse for decades, especially in the South and rural areas.
Yeah, but it's ok. The states will handle it as soon as the department of education is shut down.
As long as the states follow the Republican Christian doctrine
Assuming human intelligence naturally follows a normal distribution model plus add in confounding factors like: malnutrition, chemicals, abuse, etc. that are known to degrade human reasoning. Reasoning is further restricted by limiting access to education and extensive false propaganda. These factors flattens and shift the distribution curve to the left.
The millions of people who voted for him are morons what are easily manipulated by their ignorance and fear.
This has always been the Achilles heal of a democratic systems.
The bigger morons!
No "maybe" about it.
It's an older response, but checks out
