People were stupid and you should recognize this yourself. When you say that middle America feels that they cannot trust Democrats, it consequently means that they felt they can trust Republicans because they voted accordingly. So they felt they can trust Republicans when their candidate is the most notorious pathological liar the USA has ever seen. Just a minute of switching their brains on should have made it clear how stupid of a position that was.

What was zorg's explanation again?

Education is no different, we have some insanely brilliant people while also having a general population of goldfish brained, half wits.

To which you replied:

Gaussian distribution, absolutely agreed.  

Describing the general population as goldfish brained half wits means that the majority of Americans is stupid, and you agreed to that. You take issue with me calling Americans stupid, but you did the very same thing yourself.

Lol, if you think the majority is stupid then you don't actually know what gaussian is.  Have a good one.  Lose hard at all levels of government...  nope, no strategy issues.  

Then you misunderstood the original comment and replied about Gaussian. When you say there's some insanely brilliant people and a general population of goldfish brained, half wits most people would assume you mean the bulk (general population) of the US is stupid. So sure it's a Gaussian where the center distribution is "gold fish brained, half wits". 

Difference I can see between Zorg and Rol is that Zorg thinks the general populace is stupid but you still have to try to message to them. I'm unsure of Rol's prescription for how to deal with the stupid populace. 

It's similar wording to the classic Trump thing: "They're murderers, they're rapists, and some I assume are good people" means that you think most of the group you are talking about it murderers and rapists with some small section of good people that make up a minority.
