    We need people who aren't politicians in government. Politics is boring and confusing.
    Politicians have fucking aweful slogans and chants. How am I supposed to get excited about that?
    No retweets no cigar losers

    Problem with trump supporter is that they are just plain old dumb. If trump did a 180 on all his standpoints they wouldnt even fucking know. They barely understand politics. They just voted based on pure sentiment and low emotional iq

    That's right wing voters in a nutshell. Long term studies have found a very strong link between stupidy and right wing politics, it comes from an inability to deal with complex situations and resorting to the simplest (read: worst) answer. i.e. ban this, bomb them, I am an island, etc, etc.

    The best example of this would be:

    Right wing: I don't want to pay for other people to benefit. [End of reasoning.]

    Left wing: I don't want to pay for other people to benefit but a healthier and more educated society will in turn benefit me more than the 2% difference in income tax it would have been.

    These authors cant be serious right?
    Its not so much a social construct as it is inherent to a gender.
    They are misdifferentiating between gender identity and fenotype.
    Also this isnt so much an article as it is an expert oppinion.

    Lol everyone should go to R/thedonald and check out the comments on the gif of DT shoving the prime minister of montenegro to the side.
    Its fucking hilarious. Its like children rooting for their superhero because he was unrespectful.

    Ima copy paste some of the comments, they are just too good.

    Theyd probably vote in the rock because he's so alpha and strong lol.
    I actually cant stop reading people their idiotic comments thinking hes a good president cause he shoves aside people hahahahaha

    Do you think Trump's self confidence and brazenness can be traced back to how big his dick must look in those tiny, tiny hands?
