While the NYT has a problem, it may almost be irrelevant as it is not read by the Trump voters. Indeed, people on the IQ < 100 on the Bell-curve actually know very little, and talk just like Trump in their sphere of interest, but not expertise.

Ther4e was a interesting set of 5 interviews with Trump voters, stereotyptical MMAGAts and the nonsense they were saying was unbelievable, exceprt to themselves and presumably their friends and acquaintances. "Low information" voter hardly applies - they had negative information about reality.

If the examples Trump was spewing is any indication, they are probably lapping it up in their Fox echo chambers, all nodding "ditto-heads".

It was ever thus, but now we are approaching serious consequences if we again chose this man rather than a normal person.
