    “He’s hurting the wrong people!”

    Four years ago is a long time to remember for people with a room temperature IQ.

      Here i was, worried about them a couple months ago. Then they came out in force and overwhelmingly invited the leopards into their home. Now they want me to care again. Sorry, no. I tried then, im fresh out of fucks to give.

        Yeah, I would love to indulge in the schadenfreude watching these pissants whine while their “savior” rips away all of their social safety nets but unfortunately there’s a lot of good people who didn’t vote for that asshole who are going to get fucked as well.

    These people are victims too. Our schools were sabotaged for private profit. News was sabotaged for private profit, and these people have been swimming in “distrust your own senses” corpo propaganda for half a century.

    The capitalists that bought our government made these people. I don’t like them, they’re not redeemable, but they are victims, the capitalists want you to hate these people and keep buying their products.

    Be angry at the right people. The owners. Pity their pathetic, for all intents and purposes lobotomized rubes. They’ll still call capitalist made climate change a hoax when the CAT 5 has turned their home into confetti.

    You can’t expect people of or below average intelligence to just magically think and reason critically in a nation where such skills are taught at college level.

    The election taught me that:

    25% of the country is sorta paying attention.

    25% of the country fits into two categories, Evil (100% selfish goes here, still counts as evil), or stupid as a bag of hammers.

    50% of the country can’t be bothered to participate either way. Gonna lump them in with the hammers.

    Not great.

      Yup. Lost a lot of faith in all of us with this election. Stakes were high and people still either didn’t care, or voted simply out of pure greed, selfishness, or hatred.
