I’m not going to say there isn’t truth to what you’re saying but that doesn’t mean that many folks aren’t turned off by someone too polished, it does come across as fake. I’m reminded of Boris Johnson who purposely messed his hair up and intentionally came across as aloof

I hate when the people I elect to lead the government to be capable!

You say that, but many people don't like competency. Usually it's because they have some kind of insecurity related to not measuring up in some way. 

If they're not emotionally aware enough and/or able to employ coping skills, they can't process it and so feel threatened. Even if the field the competent person is in has nothing to do with them. Like Clinton to a Midwest farmer.

You liked to make fun of the strait A students in school didn’t ya?

u/TheScrote1 1d ago

No they were my classmates. I imagine with your lack of reading comprehension though you didn’t get that many A’s.

I comprehended your comment. You said people can be turned off by someone too polished. I’m asserting that the particular mindset you’re talking about is also found in those who insult intelligence and mistrust education.

Then why’d you act like my observation was my personal feelings?

u/faldese 1d ago

From what you said:

many folks aren’t turned off by someone too polished

This is a general observation. But you followed up with:

it does come across as fake

This is a personal feeling.

No horse in this race between you two, just pointing out what you said.

Sorry should have said it can come across as fake. Thanks for your comment. I don’t know if it is worth editing my comment or not at this point. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
