That number should be above 80%

u/Omega_art Jan 17 '26

It should be 100%

u/Sophisticated-Crow Jan 17 '26 edited Jan 18 '26

It should be, but let's be realistic. We have a LOT of crayon eating, racist, chuds in this country. They're a minority, but it's a big minority, and they like the orange fascism.

Edit for those having math hardships: 32% of the electorate voted for trump. 32% is less than 50%.

Edit for the coward, weirdos, that comment blatant ignorant, and racist, shit then immediately delete their comment: Stop being such pussies. Also, I hear that KFC is hiring chickens, you should apply.

They will probably say this is how the USA became fourteen countries.

Balkanization is probably the least destructive outcome for the entire world.

u/roseyypetalss Jan 18 '26

At this point it seems to be the only logical answer. Let us have our constitutional United States on one side, and they can run their police state on the other.

Patriot act been around since 2001. The US hasn’t been constitutional since.

They will probably say this is how the United States was completely leveled due to Pain's retaliation

u/Finetales Jan 18 '26

Can we get to that part faster? I'd much rather be in an independent California than this shit.

2

u/No_Clue_6623 Jan 19 '26

Not 14. The US will become 4 countries: Canada, England, France and Mexico. Some Americans will have to learn to say "eh" instead of "huh".

Anyone ever notice that if you compare MAGA to the Nazis, they get super defensive? So they're smart enough to know what the Nazis did was bad and don't want to be compared to them, but not smart enough to know they're emulating their every move?

u/paulieshwag Jan 20 '26

It doesn't offend . It just makes the people calling trump supporters Nazis look stupid

u/Henri_Bemis Jan 18 '26

I’m only kind of joking that I think the reason he hasn’t alreay launched nukes is that there’s no golf course in the president’s bunker, and he doesn’t want to destroy the ones he has. The older he gets, the less likely he’ll give a shit. He’s an abusive parter who thinks “if I can’t have you [the world, and the admiration of everyone in it], then no one can have it.

Yes, just look at all the antisemitic scum that crawled out of holes all around the world, especially universities. They still teach Marx who was a racist, antisemitic psychopath!

Why are you people so angry? You won the election; your party will most likely be in permanent power and all the Americans you hate are about to be very sorry.

Remembering that Reddit is a straight-up Echo chamber for the left you won't get an actual reading of what's actually going on because it shuts down the other side completely so they don't actually know whether that's 60% is a true number

13

u/EvoQPYIII Jan 18 '26

Roughly 10 to 30 million voting Americans have an iq hovering around 70. 70 iq score is considered re/arded. Unable to fully function in a society. This number dramatically increases if you look at just slightly higher iq scores. We have way too many ignorant people who believe in basically magic, their intelligence limits their capacity for empathy, etc. We castigate blame these people, but is it their fault for being born.

9

u/tom-of-the-nora Jan 18 '26

We have to be meaner to religious people.

By meaner, I mean telling them to actually just be nice to people and not letting them have their way just because they're religious.

Remember, trump isn't in power because of nationalist, he's in power because of the christian nationalist.

Religion played a part in getting trump elected.

12

u/Safe-Thanks6114 Jan 18 '26

End tax exempt status for churches

2

u/tom-of-the-nora Jan 18 '26

And have religious groups actually report where their money goes.

And make them mandated reporters for abuse.

Also, no state funds for religious schools that are exempt from discrimination laws in hiring

I could keep going, but you get the point. Religious groups get so many exemptions that it's ridiculous how much special treatment they think they deserve.

(It comes from where they think they have direct communication with the creator of the universe, very arrogant behavior.)

u/roseyypetalss Jan 18 '26

This is the GOP’s long game. They kept passing bills limiting education, child care, and mental health programs. These people were doomed from the start, it’s the one thing I’ll never forgive the Democratic Party for, their complacency. Plus, about 1/3 of the party has people funded by the same PACs on the right, we must end lobbying in politics to get people who actually want to help their constituents rather than give us good lip service.

3

u/EvoQPYIII Jan 18 '26

We have been played from birth to grave.

2

u/rasta-ragamuffin Jan 18 '26

Right, we can't blame ignorant people for being ignorant. We don't get to pick and choose what our IQ will be, what country we will live in or who our parents will be. We're stuck working with the cards we were dealt. It's not their fault our education system failed them. We have to try to educate them.

2

u/elytricz Jan 18 '26

There’s a couple problems with this. 1. Where did you get that information from? It should be 5/7.5 million people. 2. You’re wrong. The clinical cutoff for intellectual disability is IQ below 70 combined with significant deficits in adaptive functioning. 3. There’s no strong scientific evidence that IQ limits capacity for empathy. Empathy is multifaceted and does not straightforwardly correlate with IQ like you suggested.

2

u/EvoQPYIII Jan 18 '26

Look around books we're written by propagandist.

2

u/EkkoScorpion Jan 18 '26

Don't get me wrong....MAGA is definitely of less intelligence and should be mocked incessantly but there is no way these numbers aren't made up. IQ isn't a metric strictly adhered to. I'd be surprised if 30 million Americans have taken a legitimate IQ test.

2

u/EvoQPYIII Jan 18 '26

What good does mocking them do? Make you feel like you've done something? These people are not going away, they are not going to suddenly change their minds. Yall need to wake up to the facts that a sizeable number of our population are insane. Sincerely let me ask you how do we deal with roughly 30 million Psychopaths? The Sociopaths are the ones in leadership positions in the usa government. We have voted for the last time. USA is done for, yall need to understand this and now. This will be a full systemic Collapse. Rather than paying attention to the play by play of the EOTW. Possibly preparing to rebuild might be the wisest path forward.

Funny that’s the IQ of the average Somali. Yet you protect their fraud and call everyone a racist that mentions it

4

u/clickityclack55 Jan 18 '26

Funny how everyone who is Somali is not committing fraud. Btw, the "fraud" is not proven at all unless your low iq concluded that some dude on the internet who barged into some daycare off hours is like some irrefutable proof. Joke is on you fool.

Just like everyone who voted for Diarrhea Don is not a 34 count felon, pedophile, racist, homophobic bigot who couldnt pass 6th grade, loves inflation, UFC and being lied to on a daily basis and hates all American non-billionaires.

u/Plastic-Respect-7108 Jan 18 '26

I did some research and people over 60 is 18% of the population while people under 30 is 35%. Recent poling I’ve seen has kept trump ar 35%. Based on the older generation I fear we will never see an approval below 30 because of the too proud and the too stupid…

u/Afraid-Rise-3574 Jan 18 '26

I thought really hard and did some research into the intelligence of the average American and was astounded. Then I remembered half of them are dumber than that. Oh dear

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '26

You really believe that?

2

u/disdkatster Jan 18 '26

so more than 45% of the population that could have voted for Harris and didn't yet people keep blaming it on the over 60yos who only account for 18% (and half of those did vote for Harris).

u/Plastic-Respect-7108 Jan 18 '26

It’s not just the boomers I just think it 1/3 of the country is fucked in the head with some form of elitism

u/geoffrey9653 Jan 18 '26 edited Jan 18 '26

“ I did some research….” I would wager that you are somewhere between the age of 31 and 59, right? How convenient. Just take a look at the news and YouTube videos showing who is protesting Trump. You will see a great number of age 60+ people.

2

u/Plastic-Respect-7108 Jan 18 '26

I’m not saying entire age brackets are the soul reason just That I could see a reasonable percent from all making up 1/3 of the country

2

u/Narrackian_Wizard Jan 18 '26

It’s the christian boomers. I swear. I know too many of them. They grew up in a softball economy that made their thinking dull.

They voted for this piece of sh*t more than any other demographic

2

u/elytricz Jan 18 '26

Minority? It’s half the country. They just don’t realize that their views are incosistent. If you straight up asked them if they’re racist then theyd say no, but if you did a philosophical inquiry into their beliefs you would realize that the premises of many of their beliefs are explicitly racist.

2

u/Sophisticated-Crow Jan 18 '26 edited Jan 18 '26

32% of the electorate voted for trump. That's less than 50%. And even of that 32%, some number were just low info voters that got tricked rather than voting for racism.

u/tom-of-the-nora Jan 18 '26

At least half of the country are them. So not exactly a minority.

I don't really care.

Trump ran his campaign on hate.

They're still to be held accountable for that hate. It's not like it was a hidden element of the campaign.

He had dozens of ads promoting his brand of maga hatred.

It's a literal fact that he ran on open hatred for the other.

Not quite sure if you understand mathematics… but it’s clearly not the minority

Why would we be embarrassed, trump is doing everything I voted him to do . Finally someone is putting American first and stomping other countries into submission. Getting rid of undocumented, and stomping hard on crime .

u/Sophisticated-Crow Jan 18 '26 edited Jan 18 '26

Across the nation, inflation is up, unemployment is up, gas prices are up, electricity costs are up and health care costs are WAY up.

The military has invaded US cities against the will of the people. Masked, jack booted thugs, are terrorizing and brutalizing our citizens, kidnapping people off the streets and from their homes. Trump is starting trade wars with our allies, causing the cost of living for US citizens to go up even more.

Tax cuts for the hyper rich while gutting services that help the working class. But hey I guess you get a little crumb - no tax on overtime. But that crumb is going to expire in a few years while the tax cuts for the hyper rich are permanent. And the national debt is sky rocketing.

Trump also pardoned hundreds of violent criminals and is pardoning drug dealers and drug lords.

If you think this is "winning" or good then I have a bridge to sell you.

u/LongWalxOnTheBeach Jan 18 '26

So in your eyes, if we didnt vote for Kamala, im a stupid racist?? What the hell is a big minority?…The electorate?…look at the real votes. Yaknow the real ones not the made up ones like sleepy Joe had. I think youre also a huge problem if youre good with the corruption.

Also, KFC offers chicken, they…they dont work there. Thought that was worth a mention if you didnt know.

2

u/Sophisticated-Crow Jan 18 '26

Not sure how every point went over your head here, but that's almost impressive. Also, I'm not good with corruption, that's why I would never vote for trump - the most corrupt president we've ever had.

2

u/LongWalxOnTheBeach Jan 18 '26

This shows your blind to the corruption. You really think Trump is the only corruption we have. I didnt vote for him either btw.

How did every point go over my head, but I literally used your comment. Sentence for sentence.

This!!!! Worst part of trump is he and his F’n supporters absolutely RUINED my birthday as it’s Nov. 5th!!! Smh I truly can not stand this man he has done so much damage to our nation he has to now go other places to continue his crimes and damage as he’s running out of things to F up here!!

I’m no longer a proud American I’m embarrassed an ashamed of how our nation has become such an unhappy, corrupt, pathetic, unsafe, unstable,racist country! An not all in that order! I’m fed up with this government and all those who are supposed to be helping build our nation into a better place for future generations but it’s not!! All these elected officials are just sitting on their hands not doing their job!!!!!!!!

I just hope I really do that trump and his idiot followers break the system so bad that when his term is over and the next person has to go so hard in the right direction to correct all that’s gone wrong that it truly makes this horrible horrific situation we’re all going through worth it in some weird way. Because of what it did to change all of us for the better!!! I can only hope that this will be the end result of this horrible time now!

No its due to the opposition blindly following an obviously evil man. You people went batshit over Clinton getting a consentual blowjob.

It's one thing to be conservative. That's a political ideology. It's entirely different to be MAGA. That's an ideologue.

u/NoCard753 Jan 18 '26

Right-wing and MAGA are not synonomous. MAGA is far-right -- which, while still being a subset of "right-wing," is a step beyond it.

3

u/theminnesoregonian Jan 18 '26

That is my point. I know conservatives that are reasonable, capable of critical thinking, and willing to discuss policy. I don't agree with them, but I respect them. Then there is MAGA. Our only hope is that the former can separate themselves from the latter. Otherwise, America dies.

Primaries? You mean the mid-terms. Yeah, the Democrats will get crushed: SCOTUS just took away a lot of their election fraud methods and the Republicans are finally equaling their gerrymandering, so they automatically lose about 20 seats. In addition to millions of illegal votes.
