A quick glance at both party’s voting history indicates Republicans aren’t going to vote in favor of the average American anytime soon.

Unfortunately, it appears most Americans are too stupid and lazy to do this kind of basic research and would rather have social media and talking heads on TV tell them what to do. Idiocracy.

Fun Fact: Democrats are historically better for our economy.

Man, I thought I escaped comments this dumb when I left Reddit.

“BUSINESS MAN GOOD”

Consider this.

A few weeks before the election Donald Trump and Elon Musk had a little circle jerk podcast interview with each other. They spent time talking about how anti-union they are and how much they hate worker’s rights. Then working class Americans went out in droves and voted for those two rich assholes who openly talked about wishing workers had less rights.

We made a guy who was the first president in U.S. history to stand on a picket line with striking workers step down because he was old. Then we hired another equally old rich guy who openly talks about wishing workers had less rights.

Americans. Are. Stupid.

Our situation isn’t going to get better any time soon. For those of us who aren’t boomers, we’re basically locked into a lifetime of economic hardship.

You’re not very good at learning how to format your responses. I’ve met 13 year olds more capable of using this tool than you are.

I definitely recommend getting out while you can. Move somewhere that affords you more rights and has a stronger economy.

Yup.

I don’t want bad things to happen anywhere in the world, but the bottom line is we have our own shit to deal with and jeopardizing our own country by becoming a single issue voter over two countries in a neverending religious conflict on the other side of the planet is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen.

We’re literally going to be in a state of decline for an unknown period of years now partially because we chose to place another country over our own by voting for the guy that made it clear he would allow that country to turn to dust.

It sounds stupid because it is, in fact, unbelievably stupid.

Oh they are. But realistically, based on all the evidence at hand, they won’t learn anything from it. They’ll be back to voting like fools in a few years. We Americans clearly don’t learn from our mistakes.

You mean Israel has been trying, and failing, to do since 1948?

Have they tried as hard as they’re trying right now? Did they have someone named Donald Trump who was interested in helping them, or at least entirely getting out of their way while they do it, instead of putting up some form of resistance to the idea of them wiping Palestine out?

You sure do give white supremacists a lot of credit, don’t you?

I wouldn’t call it credit. I’d call it reading a history book and undestanding how far white supremacists are willing to go when given enough power.

Yup.

Everyone, left and right, are about to go through something very unpleasant together.

I never did have any hope for those on the right, but I hope those on the left that helped make this happen become fully aware of their mistake.

Yup.

In case anyone hasn’t noticed, the goalposts for norms have significantly shifted in the last decade. This is historically how it always begins.

Buckle up. Protect yourself.

Hope everyone is ready for this to be at least the next 4 years of our lives.

I say at least because these losers ran on fundamentally changing how our government works. In 4 years they may be able to create a scenario in which it’s literally impossible for them to lose an election. Not to mention the effect this will have on global politics.

We let the Stupids have total control of our federal government. Suffering will become the norm. And if you think we’re suffering now? Well, might be time to pick up a history book.

Still not using that noggin to learn new tricks, eh?

P.S. If you think that was a long message, you may have a learning disability.

I applaud you. Have fun attempting to turn the majority of Americans into responsible, educated voters. Especially while Republicans, who now control our government in its entirety, work to dismantle our public education system, which they literally ran on doing.

Here comes that doomerism…it’s over. We had a chance, and we completely dropped the ball. You don’t have to believe me when I say we’re in for long-term decline, just remember that some guy on Lemmy told you a handful of years from now when the decline is obvious and it’s clear that there’s no end in sight.

This was a pivotal moment in U.S. history, and we failed the test.

Sorry, I refuse to continue responding to your uneducated garbage until you learn how to format your replies properly.

People aren’t going to take you seriously if you can’t put in the minimal amount of effort to learn how to properly use the tool you’re attempting to use.

How were all those warnings and the fact Trump would run again not enough??

Because a bunch of whiny little bitches decided to become single issue voters.

“WAAAAAH, PALESTINE!!!”

Refuses to vote or votes 3rd party, guaranteeing the guy that will allow Palestine to turn to dust becomes president.

“WAAAAAH, STOP GIVING MONEY TO UKRAINE!!!”

Fails to understand that we’re doing that to keep our adversary from expanding their borders and threatening Europe/NATO.

“WAAAAAH, DEMOCRATS DIDN’T ENSHRINE ROE INTO LAW!!!”

Refuses to vote or votes 3rd party, guaranteeing the party that literally repealed Roe controls all aspects of our government.

The real answer to your question is that Americans are STUUUUUUUUPID. Clinically stupid. Uneducated. Uninstersted in informing themselves responsibly. STUUUUUUUUUPID.

Which is why we’ll suffer and are likely to be locked in to a long period of serious decline. Sucks to be us.

Yep.

The average person can’t be bothered to do their civic duty and look up stats/facts in order to make educated decisions… It’s all about emotion. And we all know how people make good choices when emotional.

We’re good and fucked. Hope everyone’s ready.

Yup.

You can blame the Democrat party all you want. Wasn’t their fault. It was American voter’s fault.

We are an unbelievably stupid electorate. And the suffering we’re about to experience is no one’s fault but our own. I’d like to say we’ll learn from it. But we won’t. Buckle up. We’re about to embark on a long decline.

Americans are dumb.

Democrats could have done a better job, no doubt about that. But it isn’t their fault Americans are dumb and too lazy to inform themselves responsibly. The data is all there. It’s freely available. Americans chose to vote based on feelings and allow themselves to be captured by propaganda instead of looking at the facts and they made a horribly uninformed decision.

No change in the Democrat’s strategy changes that Americans are just plain dumb.

You’re going to enjoy a medieval monarchy

Yup. Average Americans are going to lose so much of what little power we had over the next handful of years. Hope we’re all happy we chose this for ourselves.
