The point made here is hotly contested.

Fox News will tell you that college professors were indoctrinated into progressivism when they were in college, and they’re simply passing all this down the line. This is why, they’ll go on to explain, that college is an evil force in our society, as it cranks out liberals.

FWIW, I agree with the commenter at the bottom.  One finds a few intelligent and well-educated people in the MAGA crowd, very few. And the most obvious reason for this is that bright people can see through the layers upon layers of lies and criminality that emanate from Trump every hour of the day.

Occam’s Razor explains this very nicely to me.

Two things:

1) As far as I’m aware, these “Solar Flowers” exist nowhere on Earth.  They’re certainly not in Los Angeles.

2) Engineers (and anyone with an IQ of a turnip) are not split as their value; they have none.

Sure, Donald Trump has created some setbacks for wind and solar, but when he leaves office, we will find that the harm he inflicted will be quickly reversed.

I’m constantly amazed at the cleverness of some people.

How does trickle-down economics actually work in the real world? Just look around.

Is the U.S. standard of living better than that of, say, Sweden?

Ludwig von Mises was around at about the same time that Ayn Rand was “a thing” in the middle of the 20th Century, but few people hold these beliefs today.

Obviously, this isn’t a real human being, though there are tens of millions with this perspective, so let’s treat him as if he were an actual guy.

No one’s going to hate you, because everyone with a brain supports border control and law enforcement.

You are, however, running the risk of being regarded as a moron.  There are hundreds of points of domestic and international law, reason, and humanity that are being addressed every day along these lines.

Why don’t you go on keepin’ those doggies moving, and let the rest of us do our best to figure out how to treat immigrants legally and humanely?

The guy who sent me this writes Could not be any clearer than that.

Oh, it’s clear all right, but it’s not really true.  People who live in places like Northern Europe, New Zealand, Iceland, Costa Rico, etc. are generally quite affluent.
Now, if you aspire to be the world’s next trillionaire, on a planet where 1.5 billion people can’t get a glass of clean water to drink, you’ll need to go to a place like Switzerland, where it’s easy to hide money from taxation.

We’ve all heard the adage, “If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.”

It has a nice ring to it, but it really doesn’t hold water in the real world, where counties with strict gun laws, e.g., Japan, England, and Australia have very low rates of violent crime.

Note: these countries don’t have an NRA, a fabulously wealthy lobbying organization that controls their lawmaking apparatus as it pertains to gun regulation.

Moreover, outside the United States, it’s very hard to find a place where a potentially mentally unstable person can go into a store and walk out with a weapon of war, capable of killing 50+ people per minute.

Actually, it wouldn’t have required a PhD in chemistry to predict what would happen to a large pool of untreated fresh water during a hot summer in our nation’s capital.

No one doubts that China is trying to take over the world; in fact, it could be argued that this has been an on-going effort for the last 6000 years.

Yet, unlike the United States, these people are patient and prefer to accomplish this task economically rather than militarily.
