      Remember when the QAnon nutjobs thought a dead Kennedy was going to rise from the grave to be Trump’s running mate?

      Nope. Literally!?

              I watched an interview between a couple of psychologists, where it was pointed out that 16% of the population in the US (and elsewhere, but they were talking specifically about the US) has an IQ below 85. The video was about what someome scoring 85 is capable of, and it isn’t a lot. That’s smart enough that one can more or less function in society, but they’re functionally illiterate, and basically unable to understand or follow instructions of any kind. But they can register to vote.

              16% seems like a significant percentage. And easy to target.

                  Its an interview with someone named Jordan Peterson who is a canadian psychologist. I don’t know much about this person, so I’m sure someone will come along and tell me about some 20+ year old scandal involving them.

        Yes. “But how could anyone believe that?!” I don’t hear anyone ask. Knowing Better has a great video on that:

    If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the last ten years it is that I’ll never trust a political poll.

    Without talking about his controversy with the vaccines, would someone tell me why I wouldnt want to vote for RFK jr?

      I mean. Antivax bullshit is more than enough to disqualify him immediately for any sane voter. Why would someone spend any additional time learning about his other opinions?

        Thats… pretty sad. So lets say there was a candidate that had all your ideal solutions except they were what you consider antivax, that person is no longer a good candidate?

          I reject the premise.

          It’s impossible for them to have all my ideal solutions because that would necessarily include supporting medical science.

          Being an outspoken antivaxxer shows a severe lack of critical thinking skills. Vaccines are not what matters most to me - having a representative that accepts reality is.

            All i said was to suspend some disbelief. Lets pretend this candidate was a doctor themselves but had a rational take on why they are antivax.

              Suspend disbelief in what? Whether vaccines work? Pretend they really do cause autism?

              Ok yeah in bizarro universe I may be interested in an antivaxxer’s opinions. And Superman is a bad guy. Puppies aren’t cute…

              How is that useful? We live in a reality where vaccines do work. They don’t cause autism. And puppies are cute AF.
