No, I know some Trumpers who are quite smart. Trump has a whole raft of media outlets supporting his con, the problem is a lot more complicated than "his followers are stupid." Still, recent events have pushed me over the edge: You can support Trump, or you can support America. You can't do both.

@SeaGreenEyez No, he has multiple degrees, his IQ is well above average. By objective standards he is smarter than the average bear. He was a senior engineer for a state agency. I think it's more related to maturity than smarts, parts of him somehow never grew up. Or regressed. He uses his brain for confirmation bias and motivated reasoning, and quite cleverly. IDK, me and his now ex wife watched in horror for decades as he started listening to Alex Jones et al and slid into this alternate reality. I agree that the lower the IQ, the easier to fool. I think it's more more complicated than "these people are stupid" though. The human brain is wired for pattern recognition, not logic, and it can easily be led astray no matter how "smart" it is. Define smart too, that's part of the problem; smarts and good judgement/wisdom are not necessarily correlated.
The folks who believe in the QAnon bullshit aggravate me too. Schools should teach kids how to think critically.

You're totally right. It's amazing, how many millions of people buy into his bullshit. George Carlin once said "Just think how stupid the average person is, then think that half of them are stupider than that." His supporters are that half.
