Someone would only call you a brain-dead moron if you were one. I am, right now, calling you a brain-dead moron. Axiomatically it must be the case that you are, in fact, a brain-dead MORON.
It's circular reasoning, Rand. All logic is GIGO, and you're just feeding your conclusion back into your premise. It is logically secure and still totally wrong. Your "axiom" is not a valid one, it is not something that can or should be accepted without proof.
Not in the US, nor any of the most similar Commonwealth countries to yours and mine. It's completely immaterial though. With such an incredibly narrow definition, why should you, I, or anyone else care to use that as the metric? Therein lies your Trumpist aspirations. You're deliberately setting a distorted picture that in no way reflects the reality we're discussing and trying to use that to play "gotcha" victory-point games. You threw that out as a red herring to distract from your crap position.
