How would you explain the differences & pitfalls of mistaking causation & correlation to Trump or MAGA? Can they understand it or is it beyond them?

Question

Ice cream sales & crime both increase in the summer. Surely the ice cream is causing the crime, right?

That's what the "vaccines cause autism" viewpoint was based on. It has as much veracity as saying milk causes autism. Most autistic kids have autism, correlation. Most autistic kids drink milk, correlation. It was even stupider because that would imply that autism didn't exist before vaccines, and that all adults that didn't have autism were unvaccinated.

This is like asking if a garden snail can understand linear regression...

I'm trying to rescue you, here. Pay attention. I want to save you wasted effort and everyone knows Democrats shun work. I.

We won. You lost. Without sane candidates cognizant of truth and facts, you will lose in 26, 28 and 32. Your detritus has to go. There are sane Democrats out there. They would support sane ideas if they weren't afraid of being canceled by your crazy left; you know, TDS schizo's, fascists, angry incel Karens and leftist nut balls like you.

Trump and Conservative Republicans won everything. You lost... Everything. Elections and results are all that matters. There's nothing you can do about President Trump until the 2026 and 2028 elections and you are working diligently to lose both of them. So Lay back and enjoy it. Between now and then, you can vent all the fear, anger, hatred, nonsense and outrage you want and accomplish nothing. You will change nothing with bullshit or with bullets.

Your hope is to create doubt, in uncommitted minds; which are are now more shielded just as yours are locked. More of you are defecting every day. Every new "outrage" will fade as actual facts are revealed and none of the issues matter to you anyway. You are reaching for something, anything, to feel relevant. You aren't. You believe in nothing, have nothing and will have nothing. Every act of violence strengthens us and you just can't help yourselves but to think that next kill will cause A New Day. Thats because it already is.

The only ways you can Full Stop President Trump are with impeachment, Amendment 25 and with a well placed bullet. You don't have the votes for the first two and what would you have if you did succeed with the third? Probably Civil War. You'd be at room temperature, taking the Big Dirt Nap. You believe in nothing and aren't willing to risk your life or even die for your beliefs like Real Americans did at Normandy, so scratch that. Even if you succeeded, we have a superior bench and many of us are ready to step up. So Go back to your Facebook, Instagram, weed, porn, oxy and video games, you know, the important things in your useless lives.

Of course, You will continue to virtue signal to make yourself feel relevant with Whatabouts, cherry-picking, name calling, and falsely accusing or conflating anything you hear or can make up about Conservatives, Christians and Patriots. Even if you do, we don't give a Schiff. We are making sausage. You hate like the process but it is only the end result that matters. So just the hell out of the way. Self deport from the political scene. If you don't, we will be glad to escort you.

The only things that will matter are good results that are already happening. A better idea is for you clowns to get off your asses and try to accomplish something constructive for your country. But really, do nothing and make our road easier for your betters.

Any who don’t understand basic correlation and causation just need to sit down and be quiet lol No matter where they are on the political compass, they are not educated enough to argue such philosophies.

You forgot there’s no school during the summer so idle hands are up to no good , usually get older teens that are up late at night up to mischief , robberies and break-ins when they have nothing better to do
