The current president is a culmination .... a celebration ... of the general dumbing down of the American public.

They spent the past 50 years just generally deluding themselves to the point where stupidity, complacency and ignorance is just celebrated and rewarded.

It's a nation of idiots .... a nation of idiots with nuclear weapons.

Because so many people genuinely believe the election was stolen. It bewilders me

Simple. Back then were still naive enough to believe that there would be justice served.

Trump was the perfect storm. Everybody that held some form of bigotry could see themselves in him. Because how could he be a bad person if they weren’t a bad person.

The Democrats were been so certain it was they nominated an black asian woman. I like Harris but obviously rednecks aren't ready for that.

It wasn't the rednecks that decided not to have a primary and run a man so senile they made Trump look lucid.

Because so many Americans hate America and what it stands for. They hate anyone who isn't like them, and they like that it bothers you. They enjoy your frustration and your confusion, because it gives them a feeling of power they would otherwise never experience on their own merits.

The republicans have a very robust propaganda machine. They digested and reframed it very quickly.

A Trump voter from 2016 told me that he thought of Trump as a brick he was throwing at the window of The System. He started from the position that the system is broken and needs to be torn down before anything can be improved. I think that’s pretty stupid logic - people routinely underestimate the importance of incremental improvement.

But that’s what the thinking is anyway. The more we hate Trump the happier they are. He exists to knock our teeth out, personally if need be, but more importantly, collectively, as a system. Taking a shit on the floor of Congress? That’s all in the game.

The only reason a sizable chunk of the country wasn't there partaking would have been the cost of travel and time.

Many conservatives have convinced themselves that the 6th was a false flag operation by the libtards. For "reasons"

Voters are just lazy and stupid.

Voters saw January 6th and were like "I'm gonna stay home because voting doesn't matter or I'm too busy and lazy to defend rights and democracy".

Voters also see Trump and are so stupid to think that he was gonna make their economic life better. SleePy JoE diD tHaT! jOeVeR

Single Issue voters are just absolutely f**king stupid.

Media also sanewashed RFK and Trump again. The cult will always vote for their candidate. The normal people need a "reason" to take action. People love blaming Kamala for not beating the "oh-so-easy" Trump but they wouldn't move their worthless asses to vote anyways.
