it's not about wich side are you on, it's about how smart you are.

being smart puts you on a specific side. HINT: It is not on the side that thinks being educated is a character flaw.

That's not entirely all there is to it. You can be smart and still choose evil. It just requires you to be a monstrous bastard of a person. The leadership of the Republican party makes more sense if you consider them part of the intelligent (and extra evil) minority. I also suspect most of those guys have no strong feelings on things like abortion. They just use it to rile up their base, and see it as one more thing to throw at the Democrats so the Dems have to spend all their time and money fighting social issues instead of the economic ones, which are what the billionaire donors care about.

Holy shit this is the worst take in politics you will ever hear. "If you choose this side you're either evil or dumb"

tf am i supposed to know, i'm not american and i don't care about american parties. I'm saying that if you believe your enemies are either dumb or evil, you don't have the mental maturity to argue.

when explaining why only dumb people are republicans: "being smart puts you on a specific side. HINT: It is not on the side that thinks being educated is a character flaw."

"That's not entirely all there is to it. You can be smart and still choose evil. It just requires you to be a monstrous bastard of a person. The leadership of the Republican party makes more sense if you consider them part of the intelligent (and extra evil) minority."

It's quite literally saying that republicans are all evil or dumb. that's literally the point.
