What man of any significant intelligence would marry Susan and go along with her child abuse circus? If Cory had any intelligence he wouldn't be a party to any of this horrid mess.
I'd warn you away from assuming someone is intelligent simply because they share similar political views with you or making any assumptions about the political bent of KF, because there isn't one besides general intolerance for stupidity and political extremes. I'm quite politically liberal, as are many KF posters, but I've found there plenty of very dumb and ignorant liberals in the world, there are also some very intelligent conservatives. Cory's political views do not speak to any particular intelligence though I'm sure he's attracted to politics because it does give idiots a feeling of smug superiority and allows him to engage in "being right" and black and white thinking.
Cory lived in very politically liberal Seattle, so his political views are hardly surprising given that's par for the course there. If he lived in Alabama he'd probably be conservative arguing with "libtards." The only difference between to two for guys like Cory is who they chose to be angry at and blame for their problems.
A common trait idiots have on both sides is that they simply spit out pre-packaged opinions. They are parrots and lack much critical thinking skills and are only comfortable with black and white thinking. If a headline agrees with their political stance, they agree with it, if it doesn't it's "fake news." Idiots of all political bents avoid complexities and engaging outside of their echo chambers. You'll notice Cory never actually does anything but shares liberal news posts. There is no insightful commentary or opinion from him about the news. At best you get empty smugness. (You'll also notice that sources of Cory's posts are generally just unreliable outrage propaganda mills. Sites that take actual news stories and spit them back out with pre-packaged opinions and outrage. He doesn't want to read actual political news (Politico, NYT, Washington Post, Chicago Times, etc..) he just wants to be smug, mad and parrot opinions of others he thinks sound smart.)
Intelligent people don't waste their time spouting off about politics on FB echo chamber every day. Cory does it, just like conservatives do, because they like feeling smug and getting angry.
