Bigots don't get to vote because they damage society. Equality for all is not up for discussion in any rational society. Neither is church/state separation (we don't want a theocracy, do we?) and evolution and science in general being attacked holds back progress.
If we want our society to improve, the stupid people need to lose their power over it. Extreme? Sure. Effective? Quite possibly.

People with high IQ's don't fuck?
if you assume that a High IQ is an above average IQ, then less than half the population would reproduce leading to a slow, but significant decline in the number of children and eventually no children would be produced.
A couple can have more than two children you know.

I used to, but then I realized that every politician is a liar or idiot so I just got fed up and quit caring. Its a damn buzzkill after a while really. if that makes me less intelligent then so be it then

I think the opposite.
If you're not capable of realising that money is voting and politics is funded by and therefore controlled by financial powers then you're not very intelligent.
You could say lacking in care but I mean it doesn't take a genius to observe that "change" never happens unless its benefiting the established financial powers and has little to nothing to do with the morality politics presents as a facade.

More intelligent people vote more often. Among the dummies, voter turnout is low. I believe intelligent people are more naturally drawn to politics than the dummies.

No. I think it actually removes information. And Rustifer, I'm not the one who bumped this, so, reply to fail on your part.

Well I'm not interested in politics and I'm retarded; so I'm inclined to answer yeah.
Though the only reason I'm not interested in it is because people in power are going to be doing whatever the fuck they want anyway, a nobody like me showing interest in them isn't going to move any tides. Theres really only two reasons to follow politics imo: To decide who you're going to vote for and as a topic of discussion. I don't vote and no one I know is interested enough to research that shit .

i think it can be both, some intelligent people realise the system is bullshit and don't get involved and dont want to know whats going on. other intelligent people at least like to know whats going on. other intelligent people like to follow whats going on and also like to think of practical alternatives some stupid people can follow the stories but not know how wrong or misleading the media can be. some stupid people can be oblivious to everything or very dismissive of politics so they don't bother engaging with it some stupid people can have the curiosity and humility of knowing they don't know much so are perhaps more open to alternatives.
one person might feel pretty powerless against the monstrosity of it all but this is why people need to make grassroots organisations to act collectively.
