This tells me the information pipe to voters is broken, and hacked.

People live in their own social media realities. There has always been ignorance, but it's never been so widely personalized. And Trump and the GoP played it like a fiddle.

And just watch, the Dems are going to learn precisely nothing from this and campaign like it's the 1950s again, thinking policy was their problem.

The sheer stupidity of the dems is kinda astonishing. The reason why Obama won is because he had a goddamn narrative. Yes we can! Change you can believe in! It's almost like they were onto something... then they did nothing.

Dems learned nothing and are all out of ideas!

It's sad to see that the people that do the most honest work are always being played by people doing the most dishonest one.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

We could be getting played by some random person on tiktok showing an unsubstantiated claim from another random person.

I'm not saying it's definitely fake but don't just blindly believe this when spreading stories without evidence is the EXACT sort of shit dishonest people do. They're eating the dogs, etc.

Story of my life right there.

And it's sooo typical of their hyper-inflated personal and national egos:
They didn't wonder for one minute why on earth foreign companies would pay up. For the honor or doing business with the greatest country on earth tm? Because they'd have no choice of other buyers, since no other countries has car / computer / whatever manufacturers who'd buy their products instead?

They. Are. So. Fucking. Insular.

It's simpler than that. They have literally no idea what tax incidence even is, and think the government just decides who the burden falls on.

Their

They

They

They being Americans?

There was another post about how Americans unfairly generalize Russians (or others) for the things their country does, and how hypocritical it is, implying we would get defensive. Well here I am, an American, reacting to my people being generalized:

Nods

Agrees

We are like that, and did this to ourselves.

"Greatest country on earth" sorry bud, just lost that title.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 11 hours ago

Most people on this planet are dumb as shit. More at 11

[–] [email protected] 49 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Wow, the turn around time on that was fast.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Life under Trump in 2024 will be orders of magnitude worse than life under him in 2016. It won't take long for Americans to begin to feel strong consequences of the election result.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I guess I forgot some people knew what to expect from a second Trump term and would plan accordingly. It would have been nice if this guy had sat these people down and had this talk before the election.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Perhaps telling all his employees that if Trump won he'd cut their bonuses would be taken as attempting to threaten their vote?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago

Except the president also voted for Trump.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 hours ago

How about a seminar on tariffs though.

Guise, I'm struggling. Part of me says...let them all burn for their "fuck around and find out".

But I know that isn't completely right. I just, am, so, angry (and sad).

Will probably choose the let them burn route.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

I say let it rip.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

Burn it All Down.

I say you can enjoy watching the fire, since you didn't light it up.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

On the other hand, there’s nothing you can do anyway, so the only option is to let them burn.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 hours ago

You. I like you.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

The anger stems from their ignorance.

"Fuck around and find out" is literally the only way to learn in "basal" levels of intelligence.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Hmmm basal or basilar? I would have said basilar but now am not sure.

I’m just making popcorn for the show when leopards start eating faces

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

And there will be more people lining up to have their faces eaten, too. They will love it.
