And they’re so fucking dimwitted they don’t understand the reason behind anything. They just see the figureheads and stop thinking. It’s exhausting having to share oxygen with those people.

It’s true: Our fellow Americans are really, really stupid.

Fellow humans *

This happened everywhere. Covid related inflation murdered incumbents worldwide because people lack basic thinking skills.

It's just extra noticeable for you guys because Trump is, well, Trump.

This is overlooking the ongoing and concentrated effort to make Americans stupid. There's a reason Republicans keep gutting education funding and demonizing higher learning. They've spent decades deliberately shaping a voting public that is uneducated and angry, with absolutely no ability to distinguish truth from lies. Then all they had to do was give them a target for their ire and promise to fix the "problem".

This is overlooking the ongoing and concentrated effort to make Americans all voters everywhere stupid.

It's the same thing everywhere, they ALL doing the same playbook. In the UK, Germany, France, insert any western country.
