    I’m really getting tired of this narrative. It completely invalidates that +73M people voted for Trump. More than 73 million people thought he was the right choice. It’s less important that Harris got 15 million less votes than Biden and more important that more than 73 million brain dead morons exist in this country and there’s an extremely high chance that at least 25% will procreate and continue our Idiocracy long beyond our lifetimes.

      Your narrative is incorrect though. You can’t just call 1/3 of the country a braindead moron and move on. There are plenty of perfectly intelligent people that voted for trump. Simplifying all of this to ‘well they’re idiots’ doesn’t help anyone find a solution.

        No, there aren’t. The truly intelligent people who support Donald Trump are in the Machiavellian evil camp. They are the herding dogs that use their understanding of the weaknesses of human psychology to manipulate the rest of the stupid, unwashed masses who blindly follow Donald Trump because of their in-group dynamics.

        The intelligent epicenter makes up an extremely small margin of hyper-wealthy (and/or) moral Nihilists who’s goal is to collapse U.S. hegemony and by-proxy Western society so they can economically enslave the remaining remnants of the human race with discretionary economic power.

        So, no, it is not “plenty”. It is an incredibly small subset of individuals who actually understand what is going on, and are using it to their direct advantage.

            The point isn’t to help anyone, it’s to make the fascist idiots feel bad for being fascist idiots

            If they don’t like it they can sit and spin

              That won’t work though… If you’re right then nobody will feel bad for anything because they’re too dumb to realize.

              This approach will never work.

                NO APPROACH IS GOING TO WORK.

                You cannot reason someone out of a position they did not reason themselves into in the first place. If you think you are going to out-logic any of these people into changing their minds you don’t actually understand the way fascist ideology grows & becomes entrenched within a population. Your thought process that you can change their minds by treating them as intelligent members of a well-functioning social order is such okie-doke ass pick-me behavior you should be embarrassed you even attempted to float it. That only serves to further reinforce the legitimacy of their ideas in their own minds. Grow the fuck up.

                    That’s the entire point. There is no solution. Absolutely nothing to do but arm yourself and watch out for people who deserve to make it through.

                    The goal needs to be a total social and economic embargo. Completely exclude them from our lives in any way possible. We are now in an existential war for the future of liberal society. Let’s hope it stays mostly ideological, but I’m not holding my breath.

      Well too damn bad because it’s true. Those 73 million were always going to vote this way, every Democrat knew that, every progressive knew that. They always vote for a Republican even if that guy is a convicted felon and rapist, we all knew that going in and they did exactly that because scorpions are going to scorpion.

      Ever Democrat and progressive knew the stakes, they knew what the opposition was going to do and they didn’t show the fuck up.

      Hell no, these fascist condoning, racist condoning jerks get a lot of blame here as well they should.
