They also have a huge army of stupid too.
It must be infuriating being an intellectual in the US, being constantly brought down along with the horde of MAGA idiots.

It must be infuriating being an intellectual in the US, being constantly brought down along with the horde of MAGA idiots.
this election hasn't been a massive rejection of Trumpism
Biden has got a lot of work in "healing the nation"
As a modest intellectual myself - Yes.
CNN: Philly update of 2 - 3K votes between Noon or early afternoon
How is Don Jr. not banned from twitter for calling for all out civil war, while I got a permaban for tweeting to Trump to choke on a bag of dicks?
CNN : "we have an update on the timing : we don't know, it might be soon or it might not".
You got banned from Twitter ?
I find it incredible to see people still defending Trump. I'm not from the US, and I don't fall nearly in the framework of left vs right, as do most Singaporeans. But no one, not a single person that I met in Singapore can believe that someone like trump is president.
I was chit chatting with a security guard yesterday while doing some volunteer work. He is a man in his 50s, without much education. He brought up the topic of trump and his insinuation that the election is rigged. He questioned how can one claim an election is rigged when you are losing, and not when you are winning? It's obvious that trump simply is a sore loser, and the biggest cheater.
It's really so obvious

Yes, about 2 years into his precidency. I consider myself part of the intellectual darkweb now.
No chance they ban him, he is far too popular. In fact, Twitter might become a little more lax with the fact checking stuff once he is no longer President
Its the same everywhere. Democracy everywhere will eventually be pulled down to the rule of the idiots.
I get the first two, albeit it can't be disregarded that they hold two opposing views of his economic policy simultaneously, in a way that surely can't be explained.
Someone on the left like @Eboue would make a similar claim that Biden's not going to make a difference for the working class, and while it's a debatable point, it's not hard to see how Trump supporters could co-opt the same criticism. But that can't be true while also fearing his "socialist" economic position. And yet we know many people will make both arguments just a few seconds apart. So at least one of those criticisms is not true, and not truly believed by those who say it. It's just a rhetorical weapon rather than honest an explanation of their position.
What does the 3rd one mean? Sounds a bit esoteric.
Acosta says Trump is apparently going to play golf 
They obviously like orange people. King of the Oompa Loompa's.
Next time just send a flaming dick pic.
Gone to cool off.
The lady on CNN now is amazing 
As many on the caf expertly called.
My taxes went down slightly but the increase in my health care and the elimination of very reasonable tax deductions for ordinary people like myself and my wife made that tax deduction irrelevant.
Dems should create thousands of blue MAGA baseball caps. And have anti Trump fans chant MAGA outside court offices. Make Asshat Go Away!
yeh but Biden got more there fore its not. biden will end up getting maybe 5 million plus more than trump.Obama got 69M. If not for Biden's current tally, that would have been the most ever.
CA is 77% reporting with 12.4m votes, he’ll get 1.5-2m out of that easily.
Probably close to 6-7m by the end. And yet again, probably 200k ish votes in 3 states could’ve meant all that is for naught.
Their system is broken,
Well, he is only the 4th US President ever to be impeached. And only the 11th president to be kicked out before a 2nd term.
And he is the only president to have been both impeached and kicked out after one term. History will record that as a unique rejection, leaving his legacy in the toilet.
and this is why i reject the idea that usa is center right. they are much more left than they get credit for. The Minority right wingers just get so much power becuase of geography
The only mentions online are from about a year ago when people were questioning his cognitive ability.
It says he revealed he had a speech disorder that he’s been battling all his life. Surely it would be common knowledge that someone who’s been in public life for decades had such a speech disorder.
It’s clearly a ruse to try and deflect from his cognitive decline.
His uni mate is on record saying he despises his father. I will look for the article.
Sorry. I don' see any that would qualify him as ignorant. Not wanting sex and murder beamed into his kids' bedrooms?
Why's that being framed as an either/or. 'Trump voters' aren't a giant homogenous block. (Kind of like how Hispanics didn't turn out to be) Some of 'em see that Biden's not for the working guy. Some of 'em believe he's a commie bastard.
I'm starting to think you're surrounded by people who think this way and only discuss an issue on/around that level. Don' forget, you asked specifically about people I knew.
Sure, the general bulk of the median-intelligence-and-lower Trump voter might tend towards what you're describing. But again, these voters are not a giant hive-mind. This is an issue that people who've gone to Yale law could debate until the cows come home. There are plenty of smart 'trump supporters' who have their own reasons for being anti-abortion aside from the ones you've mentioned.
You know your arbitrary checklist doesn't cover all aspects of human behavior, right? Also I didn't make an argument. I asked whether you know 'conservatives' who still live 'the old way'. (Apologies; I'm assuming you know what I'm referring to there.) Go to church. Work hard. Need help? Just ask. Did you say something hurtful to that person? Bring my belt.
1. That's your framing and opinion. It's true for perhaps the bottom of the intelligence totem, (btw, these folks never asked to be born 'dumb')
2. Again, the rest of the majority know he's 'un-Christian'. A lot of those people are voting 'against the other guy' in spite of all that shit and how slimy it makes them feel.
Also the religion angle is s bit moot. If one goes by 'the words of Jesus himself', there are close to no true Christians in the world, let alone in the US.
I'd argue it's virtually impossible now. There's a whole generation of kids now born into a snipe culture. But that's also why the older generation/leaders have to start now. That stuff plays into the the hands of the power-brokers.
It's tough but it's important for us on the other side to remember these are deeply wounded people. Half the reason the neo-cons/Trump can get their hooks into them so easily is because they've been 'losing' for the past thirty-forty years and now the other side is so derisive of them. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure that's going to see even the most conservative of them - conservative as in the real definition - not exactly minding the hardliners taking a stand.
I hope one day you come across a pickup truck driven by a man with a huge beard and a sleeveless flannel shirt who can barely hold a normal conversation... and who turns out to hate him.
The one where Donald slapped him in his dorm?
Michael Owen landed a job at CNN?
