"Trump supporters use less cognitively complex language, more simplistic modes of thinking"

[mikkel_the_dane]

Is a claim not an opinion?

Yeah, but not opinions are facts.

 

[Revoltingest]

Yeah, but not opinions are facts.

I don't claim they are.
But they could be.

 

[mikkel_the_dane]

I don't claim they are.
But they could be.

So are your claims about these 2 tribes facts or is there more?

 

[Revoltingest]

So are your claims about these 2 tribes facts or is there more?

Mere claims.
And some advice.

 

[mikkel_the_dane]

Mere claims.
And some advice.

Okay.

 

[RestlessSoul]

I call it a "post".

Then don’t desert it.

 

[Revoltingest]

Then don’t desert it.

But I like dessert.

 

[mikkel_the_dane]

But I like dessert.

Yeah, you are true to your style. I will give you that.

Just came across this article and was curious what you all might think of it?

Trump was not the first, remember Sarah Palin?

 

[Father Heathen]

Trump was not the first, remember Sarah Palin?

And Bush.

Such people must use words
like "methodology" to replace the more accurate "method".
Why? Longer, & more syllables.

They are used differently, with the -ology suffix tweaking the meaning slightly.
meth·od
/ˈmeTHəd/

noun

1. a particular form of procedure for accomplishing or approaching something, especially a systematic or established one.
   "a method for software maintenance"

meth·od·ol·o·gy
/ˌmeTHəˈdäləjē/
noun

1. a system of methods used in a particular area of study or activity.

Mmmmff....whuh?
I missed the counterpoint to the surrealism of the underlying metaphor.

It’s in the fridge.

 

[Secret Chief]

It’s in the fridge.

If you’ve got an ‘ology’, you’re a scientist

 

[Revoltingest]

If you’ve got an ‘ology’, you’re a scientist

Or a lowly engineer, eg, rheology, tribology.
We have an "urgy" too, ie, metallurgy.
Also an "ics", ie, thermodynamics.
And slide rules.
