    I think the difference is that you’re an intellectually capable person. I remember reading that a person of very low IQ is simply unable to imagine anything different than their perceived reality. If you asked a very low IQ person how they would feel right now if they hadn’t eaten breakfast, they wouldn’t be able to provide an answer beyond “What do you mean? I did eat breakfast.”

    I think about this a lot when I see people parrot talking points from Fox News without being able to intellectually explain any nuances or create any new information from what they’ve heard.

    There’s a reason why white men without college degrees are the largest Trump-voting demographic. The more educated a person becomes, the less likely they are to support Trump.
