Not even an IQ-check. An over-defensiveness check. People will do this dumbed-down technicality type thing knowing full well that it's meaningless. It's just grasping for a way to feel like you have a way to respond without conceding in the moment

The case where Republicans have a big edge is one where they can just dominate the airwaves with fearmongering against a nebulous threat. That doesn't work when there is daily reporting about normal people getting disappeared and the administration is bragging about it instead of covering it up

I see. Maybe. But it's not clear that he had a large effect on the number of guns in circulation in the US. 2A activism and lobbying has been an intractable roadblock for gun reform literally forever

I mean you said videos of other people were worse, and that they were caused by him in some way

but he didn't seem to be familiar with Measurement Invariance. He just shouted at me to look up "first principal component" as if that addresses the issue at all. when I tried to explain he was like "I'll block you if you keep wasting my time without being smart enough to talk to me"

for example, he is a strong believer in large racial IQ differences and has tweeted insistently about the idea that certain countries in Africa have an absurdly low average IQ.

I challenged him on the grounds of "Measurement Non-Invariance" between continents for IQ tests

he is a little bit narcissistic, and used to have a tendency to just shut down conversation where he was genuinely challenged on something in a way he wasn't prepared for

TLDR: if you're thinking 'how can I work this cool worldbuilding exposition into my story' instead of 'how can I develop the setting of this story to support its themes and conflicts', something has probably gone wrong
