How Stupidity Helped Trump Win Again
Trump got elected because the majority of the nation, not intelligent enough to get past quick soundbites and emotional appeal, proved just how "stupid" they were in choosing a leader who offered little more than shallow rhetoric.
The re-election of Donald Trump can be partly attributed to the way human biology, specifically the natural variation in intelligence, plays a key role in shaping beliefs and behaviors.
Some people, due to their biological wiring, simply lack the critical thinking skills needed to assess complex political issues or challenge deeply ingrained ideas. It's not necessarily "stupidity" in the derogatory sense, but rather a natural limitation in cognitive processing—kind of like how some people can solve complex equations but struggle to grasp basic logic when it comes to certain beliefs.
This biological "shortcoming" leaves individuals vulnerable to manipulation, especially when faced with a leader who thrives on oversimplification and emotional appeal. So, instead of engaging in thoughtful debate or fact-checking, these voters cling to a comfortable, easily digestible narrative that suits their predispositions. It's not their fault—they just can't help it. After all, intelligence is a biological trait, and some of us just have to make do with a little less.
