Are there people more intelligent than you who hold opposing political views in an honest way?

They mostly reside in the military/law enforcement/2nd amendment community and only when they talk specifically about those three subjects. Otherwise they get very ignorant about basic facts.
 
I'm sure there are. I'll give an example. When it comes to Finance, I'm sure Scott Bessent is much more intelligent than I am, but he is still a Trump boot-licker. Many Billionaires are also smarter than I am because they found a way to buy a Presidency.
 
Someone can be highly intelligent, but extremely tribal and ideological. Thus they can honestly hold a view but still hold an unreasonable view because they lack objectivity.

We would need to narrow down to singular issues. Example question. Can people who were born with a penis be women?

People on the other side of this argument who say yes to this question may have a higher IQ and a higher education than I, but they lack common sense.

Well, most likely, except for MAGATS.

WTF kind of question is that?

You appear to be asking that members admit that they are not only "less intelligent" than people who have opposing views, but that they also express their views dishonestly.

Small wonder I opt to avoid your recent polls. :coffee:

This is a baffling response to the OP.

Do go on.
