It feels like they didn’t worry when it counted.
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.
Well, we just won’t laugh at those ones.
Oh no! Did you forget you were poor when you voted to punish the poor?
“He’s hurting the wrong people!”
Four years ago is a long time to remember for people with a room temperature IQ.
In Celsius.
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.
That’s simplifying it a bit much. I think it’s more like:
Out of the voting population:
10% are shitty people (evil, greedy, etc). These are usually the loudest bunch
15% are single issue voters that didn’t understand elections aren’t JUST about one issue
45% are just stupid and go with what they are told without any critical thinking on their part (bag of hammers group)
5% are misogynistic and would never vote for a woman
15% are somewhat paying attention
And 10% actually understand what’s important
Outside of the voting population, 36% of eligible voters are lazy or apathetic and didn’t vote (Again, bag of hammers).
That’s going out of your way to complicate things. Shitty people and single issue voters are a distinction without a difference. You cannot be a single issue voter and not be a shitty person. Enabling and endorsing the most horrific grifters. All because they’ll happily lie to you. And tell you they will deliver it your little Pet Project. Especially repeatedly as they do. Makes you a bad person.
Life is complicated, and so are people. Painting with such a broad brush is akin to being a single issue voter.
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.
Sure, but at some point you have to face the consequences of your own stupidity or you’ll never learn.
