Oh goodness no, with an IQ of 86, most people wouldn't even peg you as surprisingly stupid, maybe a bit slow. This is still very much in the "slightly below average" column. The 70s are "below average" and only below that do you get into disability territory.
People overestimate the effect a not-even-20-points deviation has in real life. Just like people with an IQ of 114 are a just your average Janes and aren't generally geniuses, people with 86 are still your average Joes and generally not noticeable. 82,2% of all people are between 80 and 120. And you can't tell me that you actually think of every fifth to sixth person around you as exceptional (in either direction).
In other words, there is no serious leftist threat whatsoever to the interests of the big business community or other dominant institutions either from inside the government or from the streets.
This completely disregards that the MAGA-movement and capitalist movers in the US, like Elon, regard the center as their "leftist threat". With made-up allegations and through having moved the overton-window so far to the right, now centrist politics can be sold to their followers as the socialist threat the red scare so thoroughly implemented, that even this author cannot resist demonizing it.
Hitler and Mussolini required mass expressions of support, and that always requires coercion.
Trump’s lack of interest in compelling everyone to love him (he seems to enjoy any attention, good or bad) and no subsequent requirement for public displays of North Korea-style adoration of Dear Leader mean there is no need for physical coercion and knocks on the door at 3:00 am to take away a disobedient neighbor.
This disregards the different political systems, Hitler and Mussolini headed systems where they needed an absolute majority behind them while Trump has the electoral college and a multitude of ways to kick people off of voter rolls and make voting harder for those that are against him. As long as he can swing elections that way hand have MAGA-judges declare him the winner, he does not need to be popular.
sigh feminine, adventurous, brave, funny, clever, good with children, gentle, moral and those eyes man, those eyes did things to child-me that still make adult-me smile.
I'm pretty sure you mean the White Rose five Students and a University Professor were executed by the Gestapo for graffiti and leaflets. Best known are the siblings Sophie and Hans Scholl.
