minus-squareRekorse@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down10·2 months agoShould we go back and argue on who counts as intelligent? Is that the part I missed? I said: “A lot of MAGA are intelligent.” You said: “Nuh-uh.” Which part did I miss?
minus-squareSoup@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·2 months agoExactly. I said they weren’t intelligent, and then you said “so if there are all these intelligent people…” Like, which intelligent people? Who are you talking about?
minus-squareTerdFerguson@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down7·2 months agoReading comprehension seems to be a problem for both of you.

minus-squareRekorse@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoIf they personally are benefitting, and they don’t care if others do well, then they are achieving exactly what they want. Surely telling them they are stupid will be the solution we need.
