I got downvoted here the other day for saying Republicans are low-information voters.

My friends and countrymen: welcome to Trump's vision for the US. He is doing exactly what he said he would.

And honestly, you should have been downvoted for calling them "low-information" voters. Not only is it condescending, you simply discounted them for being part of the "other" party. Perhaps they are very informed - maybe much more than you regarding the deficit, the economy, their frustrations, etc.

It is great to have a spirited debate, but to call people derogatory names simply because they don't share your viewpoint is the wrong path to take.

Anyone who isn't afraid of woke can see certain voters were demonstrably taken in by transparent demagoguery. There are consequences to actions and beliefs, criticism can happen, people are sometimes wrong and we can acknowledge that without pearl-clutching. "Low information" is specific and actionable, unlike "stupid". Sometimes one decision was better than the other and we can only progress by understanding that, despite any hurt feelings. Sorry, no participation trophies today!

How is this different than the decision-making process of many Democrat voters? Trying to make any rational arguments on "certain issues" gets you labelled as a fascist, racist, bigot or all of this (and more) at the same time. There's nothing rational about this kind of approach.

It seems to me that the left has become lazy and often assumes that something must be rational because they believe it.
