Your understanding of statistics is deplorable. Also, your reading ability. I specifically said it's racism, rather than the (verifiable) lack of intelligence.

Racists don't need shaming into silence. They need to understand what's wrong with their beliefs. Going back to the original quote, you need to see that it's not calling all voters a particular thing. There's a simple

I was moving the point away from a measure of smartness to one of racism. I do hope you haven't just damned all the other engineers on HN!

Not everyone who voted for Brexit was a racist, but every racist voted for Brexit. - Bill Bragg Pretty sure this would work with "Trump" instead of "Brexit".

I think we can all see that correcting to oligarchy/authoritarianism/fascism never works out well for any nation. I don't see your suggestion of a correction working out here either.

Perhaps you could use the word "idiot" and refer to them as "idiots". The term has been used in a medico-legal context in the past to define a person's mental age. That there is a divide between the two parties and

I don't think India is a great example here. The Partition of India in 1947 resulted in over 1 million deaths.
