          Assuming you aren’t just concerned about the slur: The average voting eligible person in the US is a petulant imbecile. Willingly or at best negligently ignorant of the consequences of elections, to a degree that if you care about character or virtue, they are worthy of deep and bitter scorn.

          In the past I normally would not care about character or virtue in the context of debate or discourse but now my views of people broadly are so negative after November 2024 that its kind of hard to care about the average person’s well being anymore or to argue about how to bring about the best outcomes for said average people.

            That’s not the way it was used in this context which you can read for yourself because it has yet to be removed.

          No, being mentally disabled isn’t always evil, but a lot of them are… They are being taken advantage of.

            A lot of mentally disabled people are evil? How about you go and absolutely fuck yourself? How about that?
