13% of Democrats agree with Trump on that.

What the actual fuck?

    I’m struggling here to avoid being offensive - but really, Americans often appear to me to be averaging subhuman intelligence.

    Yesterday I was reading about Latino MAGA’s who just assume Trump isn’t talking about them…

      This might be a controversial take, but I don’t think racist bigotry is an intelligence thing

      The study and measure of intelligence itself is a piece of the rationalization of racism.

      We owe a lot of our scientific inheritance to genociders and racists and eugenicists - I wouldn’t be quick to assume the MAGA base is just a bunch of dimwitted Americans.

        When 33% of the population agree that immigrants ‘poison the blood’ - what’s your take on that?

        Should we assume that some very well balanced people believe that foreigners have poisonous blood?

      Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that. - George Carlin

      Great man, that George Carlin, great man.

      Using “subhuman” for persons while arguing against eugenics…

      You can’t make that stuff up

      everyone thinks they are the leopard eating faces until a bigger leopard eats their face.

      Just a reminder, there were “Jews for Hitler”. We can guess what happened to them after hitler rose to power.

    That’s funny because we’re almost all immigrants, so I guess we’re all poison?

    Ehh, then again there was that whole native genocide thing.
