Lowest Common Denominator

A particular type of obnoxious person one encounters in extremely large groups, or where everybody is universally included. Because there are so many people, there is a significantly higher probability of idiotic people.

Facebook comment sections are terrible. It's just giving voice to the lowest common denominator.

Society Of The Lowest Common Denominator

The Society of The Lowest Common Denominator is a term I invented for the end result of Socialism and Politically Correct Pseudo Interllectual Fascism. It describes a society where everyone is condemed to the level of the slowest, weakest, most interlectually inadiquate and emotionally crippled.

You can't give an honest opinion on fedd back forms in case someone is offended? Talk about the society of the lowest common denominator!

Lowest Common Denominator

In relation to people, they are the simplest group in a population. They have the simplest opinions, the simplest views and the simplest lifestyles. They are the unsophisticated (which is not correlated to the amount of happiness they have - in fact, living a simple life may make you even more happy than living a sophisticated one). Because these people do not think as much as a sophisticated person, they tend to be more naive and more gullible to gut feelings, and the ingrained culture and social laws that are around them. Their trust is easily earned.

In terms of politics, this can be taken advantage of when politicians use their persona and the gut feelings of their audience to gain followers, even when their policies and views might be to their disadvantage.

Those GOP candidates like to target the lowest common denominators in each state because it's easy followers for them. I mean, who would follow Rick Santorum because of a sweater vest?
