Psychology today, old article but really interesting.

I liked that article and when I finished reading it, I found this gem at the bottom of the page:

Understanding "Post-Trump Stress Disorder"

This was a nice tidbit to take away if you didn't want to read the old but really interesting article:

While the polls were inaccurate, the false optimism of liberal voters was also a byproduct of the inherent biases of modern news. For a while, a generation of liberal-minded young adults fell into the habit of getting the news from watching the comedian Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. Now that cellphones have taken over as our peripheral brains, we consume our news from social media feeds that are by design programmed to present us with the news as we want it, not necessarily as it is. We’ve become digesters of a kind of syrupy, self-righteous pablum produced within online echo chambers and filter bubbles, continually narrowed with each click of a “like” button on social media and each time we defriend or block someone with opposing viewpoints. Human brains are already slaves to “confirmation bias” (in which we favor evidence that supports our intuitions and reject evidence that contradicts it) – but within the online universe, it’s more like confirmation bias on steroids. Which means that, in the end, we can’t trust the news because we’ve become voracious consumers of fake news, not actual news that aims to be objective or fair-balanced.

So according to you and that article, 50% of the population are dumb?

How much full of yourselves to take such a stupid stance!

So if I were to say 50% of Clinton’s voters were racist for his stance on calling Blacks super predators, am I right?

Get off your ****ing high horse, it’s damn disgusting.

50% of a population will always be below average that is a standard binomial distribution curve.

It doesn’t matter how many the percentage is. Taking such a stance proves you’re also an idiot.

50% below average
50% above average

That's how an average works.

^While hyperbolic, that is largely true with Trumpers. They're 'in for a penny, in for pound'.

It doesn't go far enough.

It depends on who he shoots and the circumstances around it. He could actually gain more support, depending on those details.
