The Insidious Political Bifurcation of America

I don't know what a "hexile" is. However I am quite aware that the lower quarter of citizens, as to intelligence and income, usually don't vote, especially in those Bible belt states who practice voter suppression.

However in the top 5% or so, as to intelligence, liberals outnumber conservatives by more than 2 to 1.

What does one have to do, to be legitimately educated?

 

Educated is the wrong term. Try indoctrinated.

Lefties have always taken over education and the media. That is how they take over countries before mass killings and misery for the population. Try reading a history book.

 

1. As a matter of fact and not opinion -0- "Bible belt states" practice "voter suppression" and no states or locales have done so for well over half a century.

2. I use "hexile" because CNN changed its exit polling data re the 2016 POTUS election from quintiles to hexiles (presumably for some undisclosed propaganda purpose, but who really knows?) A hexile is the result of splitting this or that demographic, for example "income earners," into six groups. Quintile is five, quartile four, etc. Democrats win the bottom two hexiles of income persistently, usually overwhelmingly. Income correlates strongly with intelligence. The least intelligent people in the country earn the least income, pay the least taxes, and tend to vote Democrat. Without those intellectually challenged votes, the Democratic Party would instantly cease to exist. Insecurity about this, and the typical LW need to project onto its opposition, have created horseshit of the type this OP repeats about "most" and "least" educated states like clockwork every month or so.

3. Trump's constituency is the private sector taxpayer at large, everything from doctors to engineers to plumbers to nail salon owners and employees. Trying to lump that into "evangelicals," "rural whites," "less educated," etc. is moronic, but typical of LW propagandists. It is laughably counterproductive also, so do keep it up.

You made that up. Not surprised. If there were such a thing as attempting to rate the intelligence of grossly -abstract- groups such as "liberals" and "conservatives," the kind of QUACK who would attempt it would surely conflate "liberals" and "classical liberals," which are actually opposites.

Something other than what you have done.

 

One of the things that really upsets me about liberals are stories like this. This is man who raped and beat many women, including a 12 year old girl. The monster ends up raping and murdering a 19 year old women a few weeks before her marriage. HIS SEMEN IS FOUND INSIDE HER BODY. He is sentenced to death. The problem was that his victim was white. In liberal ideology, she was higher on the privilege stack and therefor it is wrong to hold him accountable for his actions. Now we have all the liberals gathering together to keep him from getting executed.

This is not a one off. This is a trend. A few months ago, a convicted black murderess was let out of prison for murdering a white man. Just straight out released. No justification needed other than her victim was white.

The Central Park Five who beat and gang raped a white woman got paid millions for their crime.

So when you tell me how intelligent liberals are, I have to ask how intelligent is it to not hold killers/rapists accountable for their crimes simply because of their skin color and the skin color of their victims?

 

I did, in the post you responded to.

 

How does one fix partisanship in a political party?

 

I don't react with emotional fear, like conservatives do. Or should I say normal people, the great unwashed masses. I don't know why you think that poor Black criminality is a liberal thing. Most Blacks, the way their brains work, are quite similar to the way conservative brains work. Strong liberal brains are structurally different than conservative brains. One of the things about liberals that is unique among mankind, is liberals care about others not like themselves, think that rights should be universal. It was one of those things that Jefferson struggled with. He believed in universal rights, yet his livelihood depended on slave labor.

 

Misdiagnoses of the problem. It isn't partisanship that is the issue. All parties are formed around a set of ideas of which the members are partisans green party libertarians constitutionalist, Democrat, Republican, Democrat all of them are composed of partisans of a given set of ideas. The problem isn't partisanship per se, it is the fact that the stuff that can be worked around the edges has been, and we are now down to the point where compromise no longer is possible. the lines are sharply drawn outlaw little black rifles or not outlaw little black rifles abortion at any time and place up to and after birth or only when the mother's life is at risk? High taxes or low taxes? More federal control of everything or less federal control of everything.
Rob from the wealthy to give short term benefits to everyone else followed by years of crushing poverty there after or hell no we aren't doing that.

 

When we talk of intelligence, I'm sure I see it from a different vantage point that you do. As a child I attended classes for those children who read too fast and pick up on math quite easily. I went to a top research university with all A's. I've had a career in R&D labs, working with lots of other highly knowledgeable and intelligent individuals. For the most part, I and my colleagues and friends are mostly apolitical, on a day to day basis, yet they have liberal personalities, which are quite distinct from conservative personalities. I've lived and worked most of my adult life in and around Boulder Colorado, the most educated spot in the country. Where 2/3rds of adults have college educations, and religiosity is the lowest in the country. The most educated and the least religious, a liberal's dream come true. Oh, did I mention that Boulder generates a lot of new technology, which brings a lot of money to Colorado. The local conservatives call Boulder, the People's Republic of Boulder. Yet Boulder out performs everyplace else. Don't see a lot of conservatives in Boulder.

Add to that, I have lived a wonderful liberal lifestyle, spending a lot of time in the wilderness, to unwind, relax... A clean healthy lifestyle. Which of course allowed me to have a lively and active social life. All the while pursuing ideas that perhaps had never been pursued, creating technology and products that had never been made before.

You can go on and on all day about how you think liberals are less intelligent and otherwise inferior to conservatives, but I have lived the life. I know better.

 

Or just take over an existing party like Trump did to the Republican Party and the socialists did to the Democrat Party.

 

That ignores the study that republicans are better informed than democrats.

Blacks tend to vote democrat.

 

I saw this movie once. It was set in cave man times. It was back in the 70's so I don't remember all the details. But anyhow there was an older man who kept a bag of counting stones. He had figured out how to do simple math with them. Then a young woman had figured it out too. It was like a heresy to the rest of the tribe, and the pair had to flee. As a liberal, conservatives often make me feel as if I should likewise flee.

 

Blacks tend to vote for Democrats because Republicans tend to say horrible things about Blacks.

See post 109.

 

Prove it.

 

BLM is a wonderful idea that we should all get behind. After all we don't need a society were the police are unfairly targeting, and killing Black people.

 

In other words, partisanship is the problem.

 

That does not prove blacks are voting democrats because republicans are saying bad things about them.

Prove it.

 

So which set of principles do we abandon? Well actually it's human beings and the eternal argument between safety and security.

 

Fabulous. And would those locations just happen to be the locations with the greatest wealth divide? All them book smarts, and they still can't figure out how not to descend into medieval awfulness.

So much for equality. You'll find far more of that, in undeducated hick towns.

 

Hold just about any Prog's feet to the fire for more than a picosecond, and the cranial vacuum declares itself.

Education is never a measure of intelligence.

 

hahahahahaha ... oh lordy

yeah .. Progs are so open minded and tolerant.

 

Okay .. this has got to be a comedy thread.

 

Why would black people be on police radar more than non-black people in the first place? Help us out, big special brain guy.
