    Strange, if you vote for stupid, incompetent assholes you get stupid, incompetent assholes. Well, at least you can bitch afterwards.

      Yes, because the US is famous for functional elections and educated people, capable of making informed decisions.

        What is funny is the fact that it literally is.

        At least until a few years ago.

        There is a reason people all over the country send their kids to get educated in the US.

        Tell yourself whatever you need. But, everybody knew who he is and what he does and the second time around he won the popular vote. Sooo…

          You can’t blame Americans for having no access to education, or appropriate conditions to inform themselves.

          Their entire education system has been broken for the last 100 years, if not more. All of their media is filled to the brim with propaganda and manipulation. All while they’re forced to worry about survival and basic necessities, despite working almost twice as many hours as average Europeans.

          It’s not Americans’ fault they’re stupid and clueless. They’ve been born and raised in conditions that don’t allow for anything else. The US has been designed specifically for this.

            Short version: nah. It doesn’t work like that

            Longer version: all it takes is really asking the question “is this moron capable and willing to make my life better?” and looking up some evidence. That’s not rocket science

            Longer longer version: 100 years. So, a few generations. And no one came together to fix this. Oh welp, no one to blame?

            However, Americans (of the Boomer generation) did have choices to make. And the choices of what they prioritized (wealth over everything, work over everything) led to the kind of country that designed the US as it is today.

        Well, it is and if you don’t use memes as news source, you could know that 🤷🏻‍♂️

        The plan was never to have this repealed by the surpreme court, it was to redistribute wealth from everybody to billionaires via tax breaks.

        Would have always been shitty, but now it is shitty in a different way.

      Like the one who gleefully supported Israel’s genocide? And his vice president who didn’t have to run in a primary and said she’d do the exact same thing?
