    I am reasonably confident that you can explain Trump’s 2020 election loss by way of the disproportionate number of COVID casualties and deaths in Red areas vs Blue areas.

    Basically, if Trump/MAGA had actually responded to COVID sensibly, as sensibly as Blue areas did, on average, accounting for population density…

    Trump would have actually won.

    But so many MAGA voters died or were disabled from voting, by COVID, that they instead lost, and then further went nuts, and didn’t believe it, and attempted an insurrection.

      It comes down to the definition of MAGA supporters.

      Let’s say everyone who voted for Trump gets deported.

      Now basically half or rather one third of America is gone… Well crime rates will drop definitely.

    Nobody would want them though. Maybe we could move them all to Texas and let them be independent again.

    I do truly wonder how many incarcerated people are Republicans / MAGA.

    I’d imagine it is a minority compared to people who support Democrats.

    Poverty creates crime.

      You are right and I get what you are saying but just for the record:

      Of course it’s not a person’s IQ that determines if they are wanted or not <3

      • It seems you suffer from some misconceptions while being aware of some moderately obscure truth.

        First of all, good on yer that you know that IQ is normalized to 100. The problem is that this is true for some particular group of people. I’m not sure offhand what body does this normalization and what population they use, but thankfully, that knowledge doesn’t matter.

        Any particular group of people will probably not have an average IQ of 100. Only the full body of people it’s normalized to will.

        So if they normalize IQ to all USians, the average IQ in other countries will naturally be somewhat close to 100 (probably), but not precisely 100. So move people elsewhere and the average IQ of the destination country will change by some probably-relatively-small amount.

        Or, if the entire world is normalized to 100, then the average IQ in NO countries is precisely 100, and moving people around will still change the average.

        So I’m afraid you need to back up your clapbacks and take another think through on this, friend.

        this county sucks.

        You should broaden your horizons. :)

          • It really is painful to read this kind of arrogant ignorance

            You really should check a mirror, bub.

            But it’s okay, continue on and wallow in your own willful ignorance.

            Or feel ABSOLUTELY free to try and actually answer what I said.

            I’m not surprised you picked up on my lack of caring to find out the organizing body. It doesn’t invalidate the truth of anything I said. But you ignore the truth and pick what you think is a GOTCHA.

            It’s not a flex, kiddo. It just reinforces how stupid you make yourself look.

            Ignorant fuck.

        Based on the downvotes your getting. Quite a few of the people excited for this are definitely migrating to the left of the bell curve.

        Lemmy is wierd, the user base has a very inflated view of their own intelligence. For example, some will get confused and think since I’m on Lemmy I must be also guilty of this; their reasoning skills are quite terrible.

      I thought it was established that IQ is a racist and flawed way to measure intelligence. But now that you can use it to hate on others, it is suddenly ok to use.

      Whatever happened to that scam where they were going to send a bunch of people to live on Mars? Let’s revive that for them. But actually send them, say, to Venus.

      Edit: I have to laugh at the downvote. Were they mad because I said the Mars colony thing was a scam? Or were they mad at the thought of being deported? LOL

        Can even turn Venus into an easier direct sell. It’s a lot bigger than Mars (more land = more money), actually has an atmosphere, is named after a Roman sex goddess, and is 100% free of communism (the USSR’s probes were destroyed).

        Sure, the scientists warn that the greenhouse effect causes Venus’s temperature to exceed 400°C on the surface, but they already know those scientists are full of shit because the greenhouse effect is fake news.

      Exactly. So what are they gonna do then eh? What country is going to be flooded with their pedophiles? Fuck off. They have more people incarcerated than the rest of the world combined, maybe if they incarcerated pedophiles and powerful criminals instead of minorities and poor people the whole problem would be fixed. Their billionaires would be incarcerated, so maybe also take away their wealth and use it to create a social system so people in general will get a higher standard of living, reducing the need to turn to crime, increasing education giving people a better future, keeping people healthy and fit so they can keep working and provide for themselves.

      But instead they pick on the people who do the dirty jobs they don’t want to do while protecting the worst criminals (pedos) and filling the pockets of their wealthiest even more at the cost of the rest of its citizens. Citizens, many of which voted for this. A true dystopia.

      So I totally agree with you.

      Dear US: Please, keep your shit inside your own borders, we’re fucking done with you assholes, don’t bother us with your problems.

        They are so unified in the fact that they are all lower than garbage that I’ve started measuring them by the gallon rather than the person.

            That’s the joke (and why I said I was ‘measuring’ them) - I was making fun of myself for being wrong while also doubling down on the fact that they’re garbage pedos. It’s a win-win. Sorry, my sense of humor isn’t always the most apparent.

      Yes.

      https://www.visaverge.com/legal/crime-rates-lower-among-undocumented-immigrants-than-us-natives/

      Evidence shows both undocumented and legal immigrants in the U.S. consistently have much lower crime and incarceration rates than natives across crime categories. This trend challenges popular beliefs and highlights the importance of accurate data for fair immigration and criminal justice policies, emphasizing immigrant contributions to safety.

      So, its literally true that if you deported all native born citizens and left only immigrants, the crime rate would go down.

      Thus, if you deport a subset of native born citizens, the same still applies.

      So this also means that mass deporting all immigrants, regardless of their actual criminal record… well that would necessarily increase the crime rate overall.

        I really hope people continue to talk about this more, because this feels to me like it’s one of the most successful lies of the Trump admin (and, as I understand it, other right-wing nationalist movements around the world)

          I mean, I thought this was common knowledge, but apparently it isn’t.

          I’m also an autistic data analyst type of person, so I just … actually do consume data and reports and such basically for fun.

          But anyway yeah, the entire right wing narrative on this is wholly ass backwards and based on not just lies, but a literal inversion of reality.

          Fascists gonna fascist.
