      You are right and I get what you are saying but just for the record:

      Of course it’s not a person’s IQ that determines if they are wanted or not <3

      I thought it was established that IQ is a racist and flawed way to measure intelligence. But now that you can use it to hate on others, it is suddenly ok to use.

      average IQ will increase

      👏 That’s 👏 not 👏 how 👏 IQ 👏 works 👏

      The average IQ is 100. It’s always 100. I hate people who talk about IQ because they are annoyingly wrong seven ways from Sunday every fucking time.

      It’s a win-win situation.

        This is a shitposting group. Everything posted here is 100% real and true, even if it isn’t.

      • It seems you suffer from some misconceptions while being aware of some moderately obscure truth.

        First of all, good on yer that you know that IQ is normalized to 100. The problem is that this is true for some particular group of people. I’m not sure offhand what body does this normalization and what population they use, but thankfully, that knowledge doesn’t matter.

        Any particular group of people will probably not have an average IQ of 100. Only the full body of people it’s normalized to will.

        So if they normalize IQ to all USians, the average IQ in other countries will naturally be somewhat close to 100 (probably), but not precisely 100. So move people elsewhere and the average IQ of the destination country will change by some probably-relatively-small amount.

        Or, if the entire world is normalized to 100, then the average IQ in NO countries is precisely 100, and moving people around will still change the average.

        So I’m afraid you need to back up your clapbacks and take another think through on this, friend.

        this county sucks.

        You should broaden your horizons. :)

    I am reasonably confident that you can explain Trump’s 2020 election loss by way of the disproportionate number of COVID casualties and deaths in Red areas vs Blue areas.

    Basically, if Trump/MAGA had actually responded to COVID sensibly, as sensibly as Blue areas did, on average, accounting for population density…

    Trump would have actually won.

    But so many MAGA voters died or were disabled from voting, by COVID, that they instead lost, and then further went nuts, and didn’t believe it, and attempted an insurrection.

      Trump won in '24 because of inflation. It’s that simple. People hated the economy under Biden and walked to ‘go back’ to the Trump years when things were better.

      And Harris didn’t basically told voters the economy is great let’s not change a thing… and most people who weren’t die hard liberal/leftists were disgusted by that because they saw prices going up and their wages staying the same.

        And this is the basis that people used to justify voting for Trump?

        Ok.

        I was talking about 2020.

        The one before the one you are talking about.

        Also, most ‘die hard leftists’ were disgusted by Kamala’s pro-Genocide stance… the Dems did basically everything they possibly could to obfuscate and deny and/or justify that, leftists were fucking furious about it.

        And a pretty good deal of actual leftists were saying ‘all these economic numbers that politicians and the media are touting are bullshit, they’re incomplete, they are not reflective of reality’.

        And well now we have all the job revisions and yep that was correct, I think the BLS has now ‘un addded’ something like 2-3 million jobs between 2022 and present.

        You’re conflating liberals and leftists, which betrays that you have no idea what a leftist is.

        Its liberals that fall in line with standard corporate Dem talking points.

        Leftists tend to challenge and critique them.

            Well its not like you’d have any understanding of what is or isn’t really leftist.

            Here’s a hint:

            Opposing massive government handouts to huge megacorporations.

            Opposing biased legal standards and tax structures that massively favor the wealthy being able to accumulate more wealth, at the expense of the poor.

            Opposing idiotic broad general tariffs that have historically and are currently exacerbating an ongoing Great Depression.

            But, fascists love doing all those things, because they are economically illiterate and/or openly, brazenly corrupt.

            And now, for more vocab, if you oppose these fascist policies, you are now anti-fascist, otherwise known as antifa.

            But fascists cannot comprehend the idea that anyone could disagree with them, and also have the gall to continue being alive, so they label everyone who does as a terrorist, and have lately started executing such people in the street.

      It comes down to the definition of MAGA supporters.

      Let’s say everyone who voted for Trump gets deported.

        Can even turn Venus into an easier direct sell. It’s a lot bigger than Mars (more land = more money), actually has an atmosphere, is named after a Roman sex goddess, and is 100% free of communism (the USSR’s probes were destroyed).

        Sure, the scientists warn that the greenhouse effect causes Venus’s temperature to exceed 400°C on the surface, but they already know those scientists are full of removed because the greenhouse effect is fake news.

      Yes.

      https://www.visaverge.com/legal/crime-rates-lower-among-undocumented-immigrants-than-us-natives/

      Evidence shows both undocumented and legal immigrants in the U.S. consistently have much lower crime and incarceration rates than natives across crime categories. This trend challenges popular beliefs and highlights the importance of accurate data for fair immigration and criminal justice policies, emphasizing immigrant contributions to safety.

      So, its literally true that if you deported all native born citizens and left only immigrants, the crime rate would go down.

      Thus, if you deport a subset of native born citizens, the same still applies.

      So this also means that mass deporting all immigrants, regardless of their actual criminal record… well that would necessarily increase the crime rate overall.
