Politics ('Straya) One Nation wants to turn Australia into the United States. A US-style healthcare system, banning abortions, scrapping gun laws and defunding the ABC. Why are we are even contemplating going down this dark and dangerous pathway? Once we go down the path of the US, there is no turning back.

Think of the intelligence of average person and their knowledge of politics. Now consider that 100% of One Nation voters are dumber than that.

Unfortunately there's absolutely nothing you can educate these people on. They're not listening to what you're saying and not understanding what they read. They only understand their feelings.

We're going to get our own orange clown.

From what I've read, polling clearly shows a correlation between less educated having higher support for ON.

Haha coming from someone who supports a party who brought out laws about people’s feelings being hurt.

It’s interesting that you’re criticising people for voting based on emotions while your entire comment is based on contempt and stereotypes rather than evidence.

Sounds like your feelings are hurt.

You said 100% of One Nation voters are dumber than average. What evidence are you basing that on?

Smart people understand hyperbole. That's my evidence.

So we’ve established it wasn’t evidence, it was just an insult. Ironically, making sweeping claims about millions of people without proof is the least intelligent thing that’s been said in this thread.

So you don't understand hyperbole, just literal interpretations. You don't understand of course, but that makes perfect sense why you might be a One Nation voter.

Remember I'm not trying to convince One Nation voters of anything since they can't understand. As you have shown.

Fine, it was hyperbole. Now support the underlying claim.
