    Not too far off. IQ is normally distributed, so 40th percentile is a depressingly high 97.5-ish IQ.

    That said… let’s not disparage people with intellectual disabilities (IQ<70), many I know also know Trump’s terribleness!

      I agree that we shouldn’t disparage low intellect people, but we’ve really lost the plot by giving everyone a platform and saying everything everyone thinks is valid. There needs to be a public way to acceptably say, hey - what you’re saying is fucking dumb, and if you continue to think that, you’re also fucking dumb. There’s a complete absence of shame today.
