    The world's largest police union has endorsed Trump for President. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politi...HGa?li=BBnb7Kz citing he is a candidate who understands their concerns.

However, the reason America isn't like Myanmar is that we have a society that frowns upon using threats of violence to get your way, regardless if they're done in a jokey manner or don't pose any real danger. Just the mere suggestion that a candidate is willing to resort to murdering his opponent to win an election is just about the most un-American thing you could possibly imagine.
    Except that is totally false. His opponents are grasping for straws and some can not understand sarcasm. Even the media for the most part is not making claims those are true. Because even they understand it is a ridiculous claim.

Points for intent, there is a chain of logic there, Of course, polls do exist to track high school dropouts. About 26% of high school dropouts became a "caregiver" which could mean a child, or a parent. 19% said they did to get a job to get money for their family. And 2% were bullied. That's 47% right there in categories I'm not sure you want to count as "stupid".
    This is an odd quibble - on the whole high school dropouts have low IQs. Using lack of completion of high school as a proxy for low intellect seems like the most plausible way to figure out who stupid people vote for. I do not have access to any direct measurements that would allow a plain 1:1 correlation here, but the correlation between lack of high school completion and low IQ is high. I don't think this is a controversial enough claim to require linking data, but I can go get some if you disagree.

Specifically, people who will take Trump at his word when he, just as an example I haven't used in a while, re-tweets a set of stats about about black and white murder rates, which is not only highly factually false, but cites a source that didn't even exist. Someone who will trust what Trump says at face value, when what Trump says is easily contradicted by reality, through even the most cursory attempt to investigate the topic. Such as, going to the actual FBI stats to look at murder rates.

    That should clear things up. You are claiming that high-school dropouts tend to have lower IQs, which again, you could probably back up if you tried, and that they tend to vote D. I am saying, Trump has collected voters who will discount fact and reality in exchange for the word of a salesman, who has been caught blatantly, factually lying dozens upon dozens of times in the last year, including twice more today; and that fits the actual definition of stupid far more directly and clearly.

    And, just to be 100% clear because apparently some people didn't read what I wrote the first time, even when I quoted them directly, some people are voting for Trump for reasons other than blanket agreeing with his factual falsehoods, but instead believing his stated policy direction is the right thing for them and/or the country. That is not inherently stupid. Willingly believing dozens upon dozens of easily disprovable lies, however, is. There is a difference. One might say, a deplorable one.
    I do not see any efforts or evidence provided as to whether Trump voters or Clinton voters are more prone to believing lies. To use your own framing, you could probably find objective evidence that Trump lies more, but few would doubt that both politicians lie regularly and ridiculously. Is there evidence that Trump supporters are more likely to believe his lies than Clinton supporters are to believe hers?

    Overall, this is a pretty pointless argument. What's the goal of saying, "stupid people vote for X"? Unless someone's suggesting they shouldn't be allowed to vote, this doesn't really matter. It's just another way of othering those that politically disagree.

    Trump was visited by the Secret Service concerning his comments about Second Amendment people 'doing something about' Clinton. Trump has repeatedly encouraged and forgiven violence from his supporters. He no longer gets the benefit of the doubt when he says these things.

    Yes. This forum. Clinton's supporters generally acknowledge her proven lies and reject claims that she has lied if no evidence is provided. Trump's supporters make excuses for his provable lies and refuse to acknowledge his on-the-record repeated and frequent flip-flops.

    This the same police union Trump scammed? Charging them $250k to hold a fundraiser at his hotel while "donating" $150k that he claimed was from him, but was from his charity.

    That feeling when someone documents more lies by Trump in a single day than they have been able to pin on Clinton in her 30+ years in public life.

    Trump has insulted so many people and told so many lies at this point that it's impossible to keep track of it all. Good thing there is a website for that.

    To say that in human,

    I love how these trump supporters just scream and cry "DEPORT!!" When they know their daddy can't win an argument. And donny just heightens this ideology of, "don't stand strong, just sort of cry elementary school insults and make up shit when you're in a hard situation." At least Hillary kills people. I admire that coldheartedness in her, Donald just sort of is a little bitch.

    Calling to deport people who express opinions that don't match your own is contrary to the spirit of the First Amendment.

    Almost certainly. He's already delegated shirked the responsibilities of president onto his VP and donors appointees. And with his sons taking care of his business funds since he can't as president, he's going to have a lot of free time on his hands. Who knows, maybe he'll start trolling trade chat in WoW.

    Who actually benefited the most of the Bank bailout that Obama did? There are more black children in poverty than in 2009 because of Obama's policies. More wealth inequality.


    Of course Trump is a better alternative than 4 more years of Obama/Clinton.
