Poor uneducated people make up the majority of voters and they unfortunately fall for Trump's climate change denial and false claims that by voting for a rich billionaire will make them become as rich as Trump if they simply believe. Trump with his right wing media push Disney fairytales that tricks the majority of poor uneducated people into voting for him. The more education a person possesses the less likely they are going to fall for a right wing, megalomaniac and false claims of anyone can become rich by simply voting for him/her.


You saved my typing fingers. :mrgreen:
I was going to say that about the left-wing voters.

Progressives tend to be more emotional in their decision making, less educated, and more dependent on welfare, here is Australia, at least.

Using memes to insult ideas of other members you disagree with is flaming. Flaming is against the rules here at Wrong Planet. You may not have realised that, however from now on please desist in this repetitive behaviour.

I can't speak for others,
But I think creative humour is rather, err, humorous.
Humour is often used to diffuse tension, according to Sheldon Lee Cooper.

So,
Could you define what is acceptable humour,
Or is this forum a humour free zone, completely?
Surely not! 8O

Lol,
"Read the rest of this piece over at The Conversation". <snicker>

That article ignores the political climate/zeitgeist.
The Labor and Greens Parties were so on the nose, it encouraged rusted on votes to change.
You can largely thank Bill Shorten, with his personal arrogance (telling Arnie Schwarzenegger he was going to be the next PM), and his extreme left policies, for the loss.

Quote:
Well, he did it. Bill Shorten snatched defeat right out of the jaws of victory. Which is all the more embarrassing when you remember how he formerly introduced himself to Arnold Schwarzenegger as Australia’s next Prime Minister.


Quote:
1. Bill Shorten. Has there ever been a Federal Labor leader—at least in living memory—as deeply unpopular as Bill Shorten?
3. The death of Bob Hawke.
4. Shorten’s inability to explain Labor’s costings.
5. However, the swing against them was massive due largely to the climate change alarmism promulgated by The Greens against the Adani mine.


https://www.spectator.com.au/2019/05/te ... -election/

The article was created by someone with a left-wing bias,
Obviously.
That is politics.
The trick is to sort out the wheat from the chaff.
That is where I am much better. 8)

The logical nonsense of your post is breath-taking.
He simply said the same thing you did.

You either lack reasoning ability,
Or you are trolling.

To a predominant extent,
Trolling entails trying to get an emotional response from someone.
A rational argument is essentially irrelevant.
You have done this many times over the years.
If you are not trolling,
You need to consider your responses more carefully.

In regard to: "running to the mods crying".
I'm *guessing* that happens a lot more from those with a more left-wing affiliation.
Just speculation, of course.
Not a bad one when you consider that most (all?) of the mods on this website lean more to the left. <shrug>

BTW,
Are there any conservative moderators here?
If there are,
They don't contribute much to the political discussions. 8O

In essence (fact),
You have just made a personal attack on the capability/capacity of my intellectual abilities.
I.E. You implied I was a dumb-dumb.

In addition:
You played the man and not the ball with an ad hominem.
Exquisite irony.
