“You’re Smarter Than That”

That is from three different people in three different forms when I said the 2020 election was not stolen. If somebody tells you that "you're smarter than that" as an argument that the election was indeed stolen, they are talking from the latest series of Trumpy talking points.

Which probably sounded better in the original Russian.

  1. You're smarter than that is "bless your heart" in Russian

  2. The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with
    limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their
    abilities.

    By saying someone is smarter than that is a retrograde argument
    and is an ad hominem attack. Rather than counter with facts or
    reasoning its a fallback to personal attack to discredit the other
    sides argument.

    So for 2020 after now 4+ years there has been no creditable proof
    or evidence that was true and people have embarrassed themselves maintaining that falsehood.


    Eck!

  3. Reading some comments on sites that have a very large spread like the MSN feed that comes with Microsoft 10 and 11 it seems many that flood the comment section just repeat phrases and theme songs that get spread around by the right wing media propagandists. Such as "You leftists should quit calling Trump a Nazi. that's why you lost. Trump won't be a dictator like you say because he wasn't one his first time in office." Also, "He never heard of Project 2025, he was talking about Project 47." or "Democrats are killing babies after they are born."
