I have no idea why that comment has so many upvotes. I’m with you; I honestly don’t understand the logic.

You've had too much lead to follow the logic of a simple quip.

Lead lowers your IQ, making more idiots.

More people are taking protein powders that have lead.

Republicans have taken over the government.

Republicans are idiots.

There are enough Republicans to take over the government, because thanks to lead in protein their are enough idiots to vote them in.

It's not just that lead exposure lowers iq - it directly lowers inhibitions against violence.
