It was meant as a joke? Rick and Morty fans are basically a meme at this point.

If thinking only weak men vote left of center helps you sleep at night then fine. But there is more than anecdotal evidence that that is not a prevailing truth. It's a pretty cringeworthy assessment that may only fly if your entire world view is based on Texas or the American South.

I never said anything remotely like, "only weak men vote left of center".
And I'm betting my worldview is more heavily traveled than yours.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. RJ’s attempt to equate masculinity (or lack thereof) with a particular political bent is laughable, but so is your attempt to equate his world view with that cliche boogeyman of Texas/American South (aka The Root of All Evil per national outlets based in coastal locations).

I am not from Texas or the South, but I have traveled enough in this region and throughout North America that I know it is folly to stereotype by region, especially such a large and diverse region.

So that means you aren't going to/can't answer my question?

I'm generally a contrarian thinker. Much common knowledge/public domain/current momentum thinking is significantly wrong or incomplete - pop quiz rank the these states highest to lowest in terms of real poverty, Texas, California, New York - virtually no one aside from economists get it right, because you know public domain and all.

I'm just saying it's pretty arrogant to say that only the economists get it right, being a pseudoscience and all, methods need to be constantly adjusted. Thats like saying only Historians really understand history.

We get it, you are not only highly cultured and well traveled, but a gentleman of means who is the smartest guy in the room. I'm sure you scored highly on an IQ test, I apologize for not recognizing this. Tell me, are you one of the writers on Rick and Morty? It's the number 1 show for self proclaimed geniuses. They have the IQ score to back it up too

I've asked that question hundreds of times over the years often to graduate students. Nearly no one gets it right. The people who do know the answer and are usually either economists or econ. students. That's just how it is. And I'd add you still haven't bothered to hazard a guess. That said to be clear in this context the answer matters because "common knowledge" is incorrect.

Who besides you says economics is a pseudoscience? No realm of science is decided all are constantly adjusted.

It would help greatly if you'd stop taking my responses out of context. Read the post I responded to in other words.

No, the context is very clear. You assumed you make more money and have traveled more than random strangers on the internet. Usually the people who feel the need to brag about how much they make on the internet have other issues. I'm still waiting for my free flight to Belize. The one thing money can't buy is class lol.
