LOL! When Trump supporters call themselves Sapiosexuals

An old HS acquaintance on Facebook posted a meme about her being a Sapiosexual and I about spit my soda out. This person literally ONLY dates racist redneck types and while I tend to avoid her page she mainly posts Trump idiocy and racist crap about his border wall etc. I am seriously at a loss at how out of touch these folks are. The dunning–kruger effect is really quite terrifying!

2. Once again, when one feels compelled to point out how "intelligent" they are

(and by extension, how "intelligent" must all be with whom they associate), the world knows the truth is quite the opposite. Almost like a neon sign.

11. I like when someone states their I.Q. based on some test they took online.

I always tell them that the last question on internet I.Q. tests should be...
"Do you believe online I.Q. tests are valid and reliable?" and that they should subtract 50 points if the answer is "yes."

... "misunderstand" their posts and tell them I support their right to marry and, while their sex practices are not for me, they have a right to practice sex in ways others might be disgusted by... - long as they are consenting adults!

5. I don't think that word means what she thinks it means.

Or maybe she's just an idiot who is attracted to people who are slightly less idiotic than she is.

Seems like most, if not all, of them are Red Hatters. I've no time or patience for such nonsense.

14. Probably a lot of overlap with the 'Sovereign Citizen' types.

17. I bet if you did a ven diagram of "sovereign citizens" and "sapiosexuals"...

You'd find a pretty good cross section of the same kind of crazy people! Maybe throw anti-vaxxers and 9/11 truthers in the mix.
