How much Autistics voted for Trump in 2016?

Post Reply New Topic

I've heard a lot recently about conservatives gaining strength across the US, a product of the radical left, no one wants to be associated with the radical ideologies floating around in their heads, not even a good percentage of progressive leftists. Trump may not be the best, I don't think we have ever had the opportunity for the best, he was definitely better than the alternative. It confuses me how people wanted to vote for a woman that straight up cheated in the debates, lied under oath to congress, leaked classified information then tried to destroy evidence. Then to add, democrats elected the dumbest person on planet earth as the representative for New York's congressional district, the women who is dead serious when she predicts the world will end in 12 years, though I may add, she is quite amusing (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez)

Who you call the dumbest person on earth is more educated than you. Just sayin'.



Yeah, what a cum-laude-graduating dumbass.

Of course you would think she is awesome

wait, you do understand "Yeah, what a cum-laude-graduating dumbass"

I don't think she's awesome, I just think it's funny you have the nerve to call her "the dumbest person on earth" when you've talked here about your lack of education and she obviously excelled in school and is in clear fact not a dumbass. It just makes you look petty and jealous to call her stupid when she has achieved academically more than you have because of her obvious intellectual abilities.

You must not be unaware of the ability to critically think versus being able to regurgitate information? I think it's funny your opinions can often be so flawed yet you feel the need to attempt to enlighten me

Trump is guilty of all you accuse Hillary off, and much more.

While you dislike the "radical left", myself I certainly dislike the radical right: the radical left has very little political influence, while the radical right is in the White House.

Did Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez really said the world will end in 12 years? Whatsoever modern civilization may well end if we don't take radical measures before the next 12 years; though the end will not be there yet, dominoes will fall; bringing the collapse of civilizations and ecosystems in the next centuries.

You know where you learn to think critically if you had a good education? High school. That's where I learned it. They reinforce the lesson in colleges and universities too, you might be surprised to learn. If you take a humanities course you will find that regurgitating information will not work in regards to analyzing art or literature or social patterns or politics or many other topics--you have to be able to critically examine the material of the course to write papers about it, you can't just say whatever the book said or you get charged with plagiarism. Thinking post secondary education is all about regurgitation just shows your lack of experience with post secondary education. Maybe if you're talking about med school or something it could be more of just taking in large amounts of information--but in application of what you've learned you can't just regurgitate medical facts, you have to know how to apply what you've learned to actually treating patients. Rote regurgitation isn't sufficient to be successful in just about any post secondary degree program that I can think of.

The radical left controls gets the most media attention, I would call that power and influence. I personally do not like the radical right either, I'm more of a centralist. Yes, she did say that, she isn't that bright. We have a lot more time than 12 years. I understand global warming exists, I'm also aware they keep making radical predictions that keep not coming true. We are already working towards that goal, green energy. Electric cars are on the rise.

No she didn't, I believe what she said was in regards to the belief many climate scientists share that we are very soon approaching a point of no return in regards to climate change--not that the world will end in 12 years, but pretty soon we will have done such an extent of damage to our climate that it will be extremely difficult to reverse the damage done. Any time anyone references this clearly demonstrable fact is automatically deemed hysterical by some, saying we're claiming an "immediately pending climate apocalypse" because hyperbolic misrepresentations of the argument for doing something about climate change are effective with certain types of gullible people. All so the oil and gas companies can keep making money off the health and future of the children of the people unknowingly fighting for them to do so.

It must upset you that I know how to think for myself or something, you keep mentioning my education as if you think that will bother me? I taught myself how to program at age 10, I think I'm well aware of what critical thinking is, what were you doing at age 10?

I'm going to sleep now, I've had enough of this constant back and forth stuff. I'll post a thread tomorrow exposing her stupidity and flawed predictions...

I was thinking about what university I wanted to go to, on the encouragement of my parents and also the teachers in the gifted program I was attending. There was a lot of focus on post secondary education and what would be necessary to take in high school to get there to get into the program that I wanted, which I eventually did--though I ended up having to leave university before I could graduate for health reasons and what I later learned was autistic burnout. So yeah, I was in enrichment at age 10 because it was recognized at a pretty early age that I was advanced and regular classes were too slow for me.

Ocasio-Cortez: 'World will end in 12 years' if climate change not addressed

Well I'm glad you've had achievements, so have I. What I'm trying to get at here is you are insisting or hinting that I'm in no position to question anybody's intelligence simply because I didn't graduate from a university while they may have. You are completely missing the fact that college degrees do not define intelligence level, intelligence is a very complex matter, there is no way to easily sum it up. People are all different, we have our strengths and our weaknesses. And on another note, I didn't fail getting my degree in 'Microsoft Computer Programming Specialist' due to lack of intelligence, I was top of my class, students came to me for help rather than the teacher, the teacher didn't like that and the fact that I ranked top of the class while missing as many days as possible so he lied to me, told me I could miss one more day so I did, I came in to take the finals and he kicked me out saying I missed too many days(he set me up!).

I never went back to finish due to my fears around people, my autism, none of that has anything to do with my intelligence. Being poor and unable to afford education also has nothing to do with my intelligence. That also doesn't insist I don't have the ability to learn things, I love to learn and have always explored my interests, so just because I don't have a degree that doesn't mean I don't know anything and I lack intelligence and everyone with a degree is magically above me. I was top of my class in programming which is one of the more complicated fields.

Sounds familiar although I never got past 3 months of college. I knew something wasn't right but didn't understand till I joined here.

I've wanted to say this since I first saw you here, I love that movie!

buuuueller....
