Don't forget paedophilia. Pedos are apparently not a deal breaker.
That's because they lack empathy, anything that impacts others won't change their mind, when it impacts them directly is the only time they'll care and boy are they about to be impacted.
I was genuinely shocked how much this is the way most people are. I just didn’t get out enough to understand empathy is not normal,
I've speculated about this a bit.
Our society protects and/or hides from the general masses, a lot of the bad stuff that happens in the world. It's the media and our lawmakers, but it's also very cultural.
The Internet has also been very dumbed down. 20 years ago it used to be easier to find videos of some of the horrors that occur around the world. Drug cartel videos, war videos, terrorist videos. Remember rotten.com, etc?
I think seeing stuff like that, or maybe not the extreme detail but at least hearing about it, gives you a different perspective. At least it did for me, towards the empathetic and cautious.
If people are protected and hidden from the bad, how will they ever know? The people I've met that lack empathy seem very childish like they've never been exposed to anything.
This, in my opinion, is very much on purpose and by design. If our population had all the gruesome details about what really goes on in the world, the wars, the trafficked children, terrorist and drug cartel tortures, all the suffering in 3rd world countries and poverty...
They would be less happy, and therefore less enthusiastic to go buy stuff. Also, many would be causing a ruckus for our leaders to fix it all.
Your purpose is to produce and consume, to prop up the billionaire and elite leadership class. And not cause any problems, or at least kept in control. This is best when you're "happy" and content. Or at least content enough to keep the machine churning.
I feel like empathy is the Hallmark of a healthy soul. Unfortunately, a soul has to be earned through struggle, inner turmoil, forgiveness and growth. Many people just haven't made the effort or gained the experience yet

Oh you absolutely are an idiot
Even better, they used to be a "useful idiot" to someone - now they're just another idiot useless to everybody.
The price of gas did it, huh?
yup. it wasnt:
- 40,000 dead Palestinians
- 37 felony convictions
- 2 impeachments
- illegal tariff costs passed to consumers
- US citizens shot dead on the streets
- babies in concentration camps
- ratfucked federal programs
- botched war in Iran
- punishing LGBT persons
- incarcerating women for miscarriages
- unhinged outbursts
- destroying farmer's livelihoods
- threatening NATO countries with annexation
- lawless gustapo roaming wild
Nope. none of that. It's when he went to put gas in his Ram pickup that it all hit home.
Its always "as long as im not affected"
Ao selfsish, short sighted and plane dumb

After about the third "You're Fired", I never wanted to hear anything from that asshole ever again.
I was 18 ish in the late 80s, I saw him on David Letterman. I thought he was a stupid piece of shit, for 30 years I have seen people either talk about how great he is (though it always seemed like the people saying he was great were making fun of him) or about how he scammed people. And every time I think "how fucking stupid can people be"

Grabbing women by the pussy 👍
Having people murdered on their own streets 👍 and foreigner fishermen in boats 👍 mass illegal deportations to death camps👍
...
...wait, this is going to take too long.
Ok, all the Epstein and child rape stuff, and bombing of little brown girls in school and just about everything and anything that most decent people would see as abhorrent 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
But when the price of fuel goes up then that's just unforgivable. That is a step too far!!!
that's what pisses me off. he's a fucking asshole, he isn't a good person for changing his mind.
he probably got an erection watching ICE terrorize minorities and killing people on the streets, or seeing US bomb girls, or the fact that he's a Pedophile. no the real problem is when he has to pay a little bit more in gas.
Conservatives only care when it affects them.

She's the only one half thinking though. The other idiots in the video couldn't even find Iran on a map and have no fucking clue what theyre talking about.
Country is cooked because these idiots can't take ten minutes to think about anything.
As a three-time Trump voter she's a bit slow on the uptake, but unlike a majority of them, at least she is now willing to recognize her error.
Only after her face began to be eaten
Yea, but she stopped after a few munches, those other guys are still being gnawed on and seem to enjoy the experience.

Yet given the chance to vote for him again…
Listen, trump might diddle little kids but the dems are harvesting organs and blood for satanic ritual from one of many abortion farms scattered around those white hating sanctuary cities. /s (probably)

You were warned. So, so many times. Yes, you are an idiot.

What's even more disappointing is all the other people interviewed were entirely willing to pay more to "keep the country safe". That woman at least have some self awareness even of it's just about gas. The rest is all gone.
could she just possibly be even more selfish than the others, and it brings her, coincidentally, into alignment with a single reasonable idea. Like her selfishness disallows her to even lie to herself about the safety of the nation.

I'm not sure if any republican has ever made life better for the working class
Sure they have, but not since the shift to the 5th party system.
Conservatives have certainly never made life better for the working class, but Republicans haven't always been conservative.

But that's why I prefer to call people "conservative" or "liberal" (or "progressive" or "communist" or "libertarian") instead of by party

Ah America...you can steal money, rape children, defraud billions, but don't touch the price of gas.
Which is why the world sees the USA as only slightly less evil that Russia or North Korea.

Self-awareness of your weaknesses is the first step on the road to overcoming them.
if only most of these morons didn't have egos that made them literally hide from the truth.

Thr same fucking people who'd put those Biden "I did that!" stickers at the pump will willingly ignore higher gas prices when their pedophile god-emperor causes it.

i was just talking about this earlier, gas prices are like the ONE thing americans will get upset about. food prices, housing prices, healthcare prices? cost of business
but if gas prices go up ONE DOLLAR (at 10 gallons/fill, this amounts to a $10 increase, so maybe 30% / $40-50 extra bucks a month if you're commuting; i wfh so i haven't done that in 5 years now) people start losing their shit
it's insane to me, and i live here
When your F250 gets 10mpg and you use it to commute to work it adds up real quick.

Good thing they got it on camera. Trump always needs Amanda Robbins cam.
Same here in India we have idiots who say they will pay higher prices in modi's regime than question the government and demand answers. Smh
Yes. Yes, you are.
So they had to interview dozens there so that they could find that one woman?

Typical low IQ, under educated, brainwashed American 🙄
“In the long run, it’s going to help us out, because if they get nuclear weapons, you know, we might not even be here in a couple of years. I think that [Trump’s] done a good job,” he said.
Where do Americans get the idea that Iran gives a single fuck about the US?
Go look at the history of the nation's. It's like Iran just forgets the US exists. Then the US comes along to bully them about something, and Iran's just, "Why us?"

Well, admitting it is the first step.
Slightly less so than anyone who still likes the worthless pile of shit, at least
