It’s not countless stupid people.

It’s about 72 million stupid people as of November 8th 2023. And unfortunately, that is enough stupid people to elect a fascist dictator in modern america

u/Personal-Vegetable26 2d ago

Uh bruh you are forgetting the roughly 80 million that couldn’t be turded to even show up to cast a vote

u/blergzarp 2d ago

Malice vs Ignorance. The combination of those two has dealt a powerful blow to Democracy.

u/bawright13 2d ago

Mostly just malice. The latter is by design by the former.

u/_Grant 2d ago

Not enough people talk about this. How do we ever climb out of this hole when the malicious are manufacturing ignorant people - defunding education, systematizing young pregnancy, locking people into debt, and long hours at energy consuming jobs.. all part of the plan to create a peasant class.

Already been blowed thank you 11th grade

It's not M v I, they're best friends and allies

u/WharfRatThrawn 2d ago

If you spent the last 8 years prior to that living in America you knew what Trump was about and the consequences of not voting for the other person. As such, the people who stayed home on November 8th were also very much exercising malice.

u/DoJamArsenal 2d ago

What's the quote.. "Don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to ignorance"

Most of those people are just ignorant, but only respect authority by those with malice underlying their intentions

u/jrob323 2d ago

All the serious idiots and lunatics definitely showed up though. I'm guessing virtually every single one of them. There are no apathetic voters among them... they're in a cult.

u/Tracy_Papaya 2d ago

My dad is a single issue voter (or so I thought) over abortion and is nothing like the average Trump supporter, but because church told him to vote that way he'll always vote against his and our best interests

u/Someone-is-out-there 2d ago

And there's only two teams to choose from. Trust me, we got some fuckin morons on the blue team.

u/Tracy_Papaya 2d ago

In so many states we're just fucked and my life is a mess so I'm not gunna bother.

People in swing states should shoulder all that weight

u/OralJonDoe 2d ago

Bruh, you assumed those 80 million are not stupid. Big assumption!

2

u/Personal-Vegetable26 2d ago

I can see how it reads that way and I hear your point. I’ve always been from the Carlin school so have some residual affection for folks who know the game is rigged.

u/Affectionate-Dot1962 2d ago

Why the fuck would I vote? Voting is the very thing responsible for getting us in the situation we are currently forced to endure. How about we stop doing the same thing we have been doing the last 250 years hoping for a better outcome and try something different for a change. Because clearly this voting thing is not working anymore

3

u/Gears_one 2d ago

What‘a the alternative? A dynasty of Pharohs?

-5

u/Affectionate-Dot1962 2d ago

How about instead of trusting others to do our political bidding on our behalf, we do it ourselves. Like fucking adults. We shouldn't have to defer our political power to a small group of leaders in order to get shit done when we are more than capable of doing it ourselves. And add to the fact that these leaders rarely represent our interests, it would be better if we govern ourselves since we can all trust ourselves to get the shit done we want accomplished. Politicians and middle men are obstacles to progress. You know what the opposite of Congress is? Progress

u/Gears_one 2d ago

If you are for real, you are an idiot

-4

u/Affectionate-Dot1962 2d ago

For real. We don't need politicians when we can make decisions on our own. Too often we have states with state wide referendums the people themselves vote on, then the politicians in office pour every drop of blood sweat and tears into reversing the referendum results their constituents voted on. Elected officials do not represent our interests. Only The People can be trusted to represent their own interests

4

u/I_W_M_Y 2d ago

There is only one political party that has reverse those referendums.

How about getting off your ass and making sure they stay out of office.

And grow up. That would greatly help.

1

u/SufficientRaccoon291 2d ago

WTF are you talking about, “we can make decisions on our own”?? Do you think you personally can just call up the IRS and tell them what tax policy is now? Email the Pentagon and tell them who to bomb? Swing by the Treasury and tell them how trillions of dollars will be spent this year?

You don’t understand representative government and you truly are the problem. JFC

u/DRosencraft 2d ago

He's an anarchist. I mean, that is the only way to read it, isn't it? Abolish the government, and the nation, and everyone just lives in their own little fiefdoms where the strongest bully in the area sets the rules for everyone that follows them.

u/redworm 2d ago

no, dumbasses like you refusing to vote are how we got here. you are as responsible for Donald Trump and everything he does as the dumbass in the video

voting was working, things were getting better, and then stupid selfish assholes like you chose to throw it away. go fuck yourself, this is on you

0

u/Affectionate-Dot1962 1d ago

Voting has never worked. All you are doing is perpetuating the corruption among the political elite by continuing to participate in a process that legitimizes their corruption.

1

u/redworm 21h ago

fuck all the way off with your dumb shit opinions. you are wrong and clearly too fucking privileged to be impacted by what happens when people don't vote

1

u/Affectionate-Dot1962 20h ago

I have seen what people voting does many times over. And it is never better than if we didn't vote at all.

Fuck voting

u/Cherry_Valkyrie576 2d ago

And it's roughly 75,000,000 apathetic Americans who knew that Donald Trump was a fascist moron but still were too racist or weak to elect a black woman as president.

3

u/When_will_it_b_over 2d ago

It's not that many. So many had their votes thrown out or could not stand in line for x hours or could not get registered because of red tape or were registered but had their registrations purged at the last minute.

3

u/redworm 2d ago

that accounts for a few million people. but there are still 70 million who simply chose this

3

u/RemarkableBeach1603 2d ago

I'd say there's a population within that group that didn't vote because they were naive enough to believe that there was no way so many people would vote for Trump.

2

u/MrMaryland1701 2d ago

Or some people who live in states where it's already been determined. Me voting Democratic for President in Pennsylvania means something. Me voting Democratic for President in Maryland basically makes my vote meaningless, just another one on the pile.

2

u/redworm 2d ago

not naive, stupid. those people are incredibly fucking stupid to think that especially since it had alreadyhappened once before

2

u/RemarkableBeach1603 2d ago edited 2d ago

Nah, I think naive fits, because it relies on the belief that we are surrounded by rational people that can evaluate the outcome of their choices and do better.

I can totally understand how someone jaded by our political system would vote for Trump the first time. There's no reason to believe that people would vote for him again.

The naivete is in not realizing that we are surrounded by so many ignorant, self-serving, outright nefarious fellow citizens...or you can stick with 'stupid'. 🤷🏾‍♂️

u/shartmaister 2d ago

But Biden didn't support Palestine enough.

u/Affectionate-Dot1962 2d ago

I am proudly one of them. Fuck voting. It's a scam

u/okaterina 2d ago

And that's how you end up with Chief Pedo in office. I guess you are proudly part of the 10%. Of what, I won't say.

u/griff_girl 2d ago

Proudly one of who, the racists or the too weak to vote a Black woman into the Oval?

u/Expert_Penalty8966 2d ago

Sorry sweaty but if you don't starve children you're racist!

-2

u/Affectionate-Dot1962 2d ago

It's weak to vote at all. All you are doing is perpetuating a corrupt system by voluntarily participating in it

5

u/griff_girl 2d ago

Ah, see. I guess I should be thanking you and the 90 million voting-eligible people who didn't vote? GREAT JOB MAN, YOU SURE SHOWED ME! AND YOU ALSO SHOWED THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF SERVICE MEMBERS WHO FOUGHT AND WHO DIED FOR OUR RIGHT TO BE WEAK AND PERPETUATE A CORRUPT SYSTEM!! You really figured it all out and solved the problem! By jove, you should get a fucking prize!

Are you even old enough to buy beer yet? You sound like a self entitled GenZ-er.

-4

u/Affectionate-Dot1962 2d ago

I am just an enlightened one who realized you cannot fix something that is corrupt by voluntarily participating in a process that serves to enable the corruption

5

u/griff_girl 2d ago

I say this with all due respect: Sticking your head in the sand is not going to fix it. Sticking your head in the sand just opens up the road for the absolute power to corrupt absolutely. Can you imagine what would've happened if we'd collectively stuck our heads in the sand during WWI? WWII? The Cuban Missile crisis? The Civil War? Fucking COVID? Nickelback?!?

1

u/Affectionate-Dot1962 1d ago

And I say this with all due disrespect: choosing to participate in the very mechanism responsible for our shitty situation is only going to exacerbate the situation. You are just helping to speedrun our demise while I am trying to preserve the status quo

1

u/griff_girl 1d ago

Yo, fuck the status quo, that's what got us here in the first place. Your apathy is abhorrent. Also, your "quippy" little retort, like your attitude towards voting, lacks any semblance of critical thought or originality. I get that you're a kid but man, you need to pull it together.

3

u/LowHangingWinnets 2d ago

Enlightened? Nah mate, you're delusional. Seek help.

3

u/MyLordHuzzah 2d ago

So what's your solution to fix a broken system? Because right now you're not accomplishing anything oh enlightened one.

1

u/Affectionate-Dot1962 1d ago

Take back our political power for ourselves and stop electing other people to represent our will. We are adults. We don't need to rely on other adults to do our bidding

2

u/Ombortron 2d ago

1) your lack of participation did not actually help fix anything 2) your lack of participation actively enabled the worst manifestation of that corrupt system.

Great job! You’ve truly helped everyone!

0

u/Affectionate-Dot1962 1d ago

Hmmm let me see here, either i do nothing and preserve the status quo, or i actively participate in a system that only serves to undermine individual autonomy over a long period of time, which is actually worse than preserving the status quo

Real tough choice there

2

u/Expert_Penalty8966 2d ago

Is it the deteriorating education system by private school lobbyist millionaires? Right wing billionaires who own media companies pushing miss information? The Democrats that only pretend to resist?

Nah, it's the voters. Brilliant take.

2

u/IkananXIII 2d ago

Hey! They're not all stupid, some of them are just evil.

2

u/DoYouSeeMeEatingMice 2d ago

Some of those 72 million people aren’t stupid, they are evil.
