Well, maybe I should rephrase, as I certainly don't mean all. What I mean, is Low IQ voters, like many of the posters on this forum, are who got Trump the Presidency. You guys are certainly the majority of Trump voters. A force to be reckoned with!


As far as the pedophilia thing, that is simply another juvenile jab that has no place in reality. Low IQ voters are a fact, and it is a fact that more of them vote for Trump. They also say things like, "Boobra", and call our President "Husein", and the First Lady an "ape". Juvenile minds.

Oh, I am no elitist, coalman. I don't think I am any better than the Low IQ voters, in fact. Pointing out that it is juvenile to call a Barbara Boxer, "Boobra", is not elitist. Pointing out that more Low IQ voters voted Trump than not, is not elitist. These are facts.


For the record, I am not/was not a Hillary supporter. I have a slightly above average IQ, and a college education. Neither of these things make me better than you or the other guy. To be honest, I am talking less about actual Intelligence Quotient, as I am their "voter IQ". As in how versed they are in politics and whatnot.


Either way, I am no elitist in thought or in practice. Certainly not in my life, where the only thing "elite" about it is the college football team I follow. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Silly question. If the formula was proportional (cant use gerrymandered districts)+ 2 for the state winner, would any elections have changed?

That's possible, but that's also because you don't have all the information. I don't think you realize that you actually dodged a bullet by voting in Trump.

Some of Trump voters may have low IQs which is an argument often cited by fans of eugenics, but Hillary voters are low information voters.

Trump is the one thing that stands between your country's ability to govern itself and complete control by a global entity.

You clearly have no idea what is happening in financial markets globally, in particular the European banking sector. The major European banks have substantial derivative risk and are at extreme risk of suffering a liquidity crises. Unfortunately, given the relationships between European banks and American banks, and other major banks around the world, the entire global financial system is at risk.

To understand the magnitude of the recession on the horizon, you need to understand what's at risk. According to the CIA, all the broad money in the world is equal to roughly $80.9T. All global debt is approximately $199T. The low end estimate of the derivative market is $630T, while the high end estimate is $1.4Q. Yes, QT means quadrillion.

Warren Buffet said, "The derivatives genie is now well out of the bottle, and these instruments will almost certainly multiply in variety and number until some event makes their toxicity clear. Central banks and governments have so far found no effective way to control, or even monitor, the risks posed by these contracts. In my view, derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction, carrying dangers that, while now latent, are potentially lethal."

A lot of the risk is in the form of credit default swaps and interest rate swaps. While theoretically derivatives have a time component which could enable them to all expire worthless, a high rate of defaults in a particular market could cause a complete implosion due to the lack of liquidity required to cover the losses.

The $1.9T high yield bond market may seem insignificant within itself, credit default swaps in particular are used as insurance against risky assets. Most people do not see the need to purchase insurance on investment grade bonds. A significant component of your high yield bond market is made up of energy companies.

As you should be aware, energy companies, in particular tight oil producers, are experiencing rapidly accelerating default rates and many of which are forced to restructure or sell of their assets. With oil prices below profitability, the rate of defaults will only increase with time. Unfortunately, there is no sign of production declines, despite inventory being at record rates.

Eventually, a full blown global crises will develop in your financial markets, and after an increasing amount of oil companies are shut down, and since your IOCs have abandoned their long-term projects, it is highly likely an oil shock will occur simultaneously with your financial crises. This means that the price of oil will be well north of $100 a barrel, completely devastating the economy.

Why is all of this important? Because when this occurs, if the Globalist were in charge, they would consolidate all your banking functions into one global entity, giving them complete control over your society.

If Trump is true to his word, he will not allow this to occur, which gives American citizens the opportunity to make significant changes to create a more sustainable society. If American's decline to do this, it will eventually be done for you. And believe me, you are not valuable.

I'm sorry, but do you honestly believe the average Trump (or Hillary) voter would know about all of this? Most of the people voting have a low "voter IQ", on both sides. However, those sitting on their couches watching Fox News and surfing Infowars certainly have less reliable information than those of us who do not do those things.


The fact that you are spouting conspiracy theories about being taken over by some global cabal is enough for me to know that you are probably one of them. It is also enough for me to realize that this is way to off topic to continue replying to.

I can think of one good man we lost to this antiquated vote system. Al Gore.

Just think if he had been our president, GOOD CHANCES we would not be in the 16 yrs of wars in the middle east.

Doesn't anyone GET THIS.

HRC has about 1Million more votes than our town cryer. And they are still counting the West Coast.

And talk about nepotism in our White House.

I am sure the Republican Party wouldn't object.
Maybe both parties can also stop gerrymandering districts creating lopsided congressional blocks as well?

Maniacs like Barbara boxer are exactly why we need the electoral college. Think she wouldn't find a way to have 5-10million illegals vote? California has already stated they won't follow federal immigration laws...where does that end? Voting? Doubt it
