    magabullshit will never get a majority in this country.

    but trumptards will surely try to rig the election in every possible way - like they did in 2016 and 2020.

    People Are Revealing "Subtle Signs" They Notice Right Away That Indicate Someone Is Incredibly Intelligent

    1. "How often they're confident in saying 'I don't know.'"

    2. "They're very good at problem-solving. Even if it's something they have no experience with, they always approach the problem from the right angle."

    u/ElegantFable

    "I'll add to this by saying they know when they don't know. And because of that, they will take the opportunity to learn so that they do know, rather than continuing to bumblefuck their way through a problem, which sometimes is the right angle to start with by learning what is what first.

    The know-it-all pretenders will just continue slamming that square peg into a round hole until it fits. Then the next time someone opens a control cabinet, it's a fucking mess of bodies and sometimes even bypassed safeties."

    u/illogictc

    3. "Understanding and appreciating nuance."

    u/yamreport30

    "'I can hold two opposing ideas in my head at the same time.'

    Anyone who is willing to do that is intriguing to me, especially with polarizing issues. They might actually be interesting to talk to."

    u/id_death

    4. "When being taught to do something new, they care just as much, if not more, about why it should be done a certain way as they do about what needs to be done."

    u/frygod

    "This is why I hate those assholes who get offended at this. I had a teacher in high school get irrationally angry because I asked why we were doing something a certain way, and they screamed, 'Do not question my authority.' How else am I supposed to learn??"

    u/rockthrowing

    5. "They can adapt their communication style — vocabulary, tone, content, etc. — to fit the situation and people they’re talking to, and it seems completely natural."

    u/Big-Preparation-9641

    6. "They are okay with being perceived as 'stupid' by asking questions — if we hold back in fear, we'll never truly learn. Plus, it's a good way to show others it's okay to question things if you don't understand. We're better off if we're on the same page instead of hoping things work out without being informed."

    u/G-T-R-F-R-E-A-K-1-7

    7. "My freshman college roommate was a mechanical engineer. One of the first nights we were in the dorms, we had pizza delivered. We didn't eat it all, but the pizza box didn't fit inside the dorm fridge. He went all out origami and transformed the box into a smaller, perfectly square box that fitted inside the fridge... in about 12 seconds. I'm pretty good at math, but not necessarily geometry. My mind was blown. I spent 35 years in academia between my student/teacher years, and he's still one of the three smartest people I've ever met. His ability to 'just do it' is dumbfounding to me. His retirement project is transforming his father's 1963 Mercedes convertible into a 'hybrid' that has a small diesel engine that runs on vegetable oil along with a totaled Tesla Model S battery pack."

    u/UranusMustHurt

    8. "I consider someone intelligent if they're able to explain something incredibly complicated in simpler and more readily understood terms."

    u/SylasDevale

    9. "Honestly, after reading their work, debates, talks, podcasts, discussions, arguing, etc, I noticed they often use conditions in their sentences that are not absolute. There's also this saying: 'Only a fool talks in absolute.' They use: 'I think, many times, often times, usually, it's possible, it could be IF.' So it appears they talk as if 'I can be wrong' or 'based on what we know.' If you compare sentences so known unintelligent people, they lack these conditions and voices absolutes only."

    u/Crystalline-Luck

    10. "They ask really good questions and listen more than they talk."

    u/leanotlea

    11. "Someone who can understand someone’s opposing view without having to agree with it or get angry over it."

    u/WhimsyWhisperr_

    12. "They feel challenged rather than threatened by new things, problems, ideas."

    u/Heavy_Direction1547

    13. And finally, "They don't continually need to tell people how intelligent they are."

    u/cruiserman_80

    Are there other signs that indicate someone is incredibly smart? Tell us what they are and why in the comments below.

  6. Never underestimate how snaky these dems are.

    I am having fifteen minutes of coffee and tv and the amount of bullfeathers out there today is massive.

    Speculation about various competitive dem usual-suspects joining Kamala Harris on a ticket. NO THEY ARE NOT. Some secondary types who want 15 minutes of fame might.

    The dems who have serious plans about being president someday are not going to touch that scenario with a ten foot pole. The serious dem future candidates have all ready calculated that Trump will either win or the risk of it is too high and the process too damaged this time around to put on a decent campaign for either Kamala to win or for them as either a vp or as prez. It's a mess. If Joe dropped out six months ago, well, that would be a different matter but he did not. Cannot re-do that.

    So what do the snaky dems salivating for the Oval Office want now? Answer: They want to flush Kamala out of the system so that she is no longer in their way when they run in 2028 which will have no incumbent on the ballot. It would be ideal for them to see Kamala enter this mess and lose. Oh, it would be sickening to watch the snakes pretend to be supporting her and out there campaigning for her (as we have seen with snake Newsom and Biden) all while hoping that she gets wiped out.

    Also, they know Kamala is an idiot and gets along with no one. Goes through staff- including barrels of black female staff- like disposable objects. No quality person wants to be her vp. They will be splainin' for her every day all while she treats them like dirt.

    Yeh, they want to flush the toilet for the Kamala turd this cycle. This does not counter my previous and continuing assertion that if she runs there will be a massive rallying around her by the dems. They are very depressed right now and will rally around a turd with a D behind her name. But a little bit of her goes a long waysss out on the trail. A real crap campaigner.

    Of course this works even if Biden hangs on too. They just want her out of the way. If a Biden-Harris ticket is defeated this time around. No one wants to see her face on the ballot again.

  10. Now that you are such a genius in regard to American politics maybe you can help your fellow loser Trudeau to reverse his dumpster fire.

    The reality is that lots of Canadians are being swept into Trump messaging and want to dump their current Canadian trash.

    You are welcome.

    Now start paying your minimum dues to be a NATO members. Trump will deal with you freeloaders down the road. Maybe come up and campaign to help you get some leadership. No doubt before it is over you will be moving the capital of Canada from Ottawa to Calgary where it should be.

    Trudeau suffers key bypoll loss,opinion polls point to a Liberal Party train wreck in 2025 elections
