I don't know why politics should even be brought into this - but the mere fact that someone chooses to vote for one of the people you mentioned doesn't "prove" they're clueless. It "proves" in your own mind that they're clueless because they don't see things how you see them. But regardless where you fall on any issue, it's not about people proving themselves clueless (because no objective proof of such exists), its about not being so arrogant as to assume that those who disagree with you are stupid.

Couldn't agree more. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make them retarded. Believing that everyone that disagrees with you is a moron (just because they disagree with you) is the first step to tyranny and megalomania. Now, there is a scientific definition for 'moron' and 'idiot' based on people's rated IQ levels, but not even those are completely objective as there are many different IQ scales and tests.
If you're going to think someone is an idiot, do it for their lack of adherence to coherent fact or other things that are generally 'provable' by science.
