The fact that this person is still in US politics doesn't say much about him .... it says a lot about the American psyche ... how disconnected does a country have to be to think that this individual is fit to represent them?

We’re living in the Idiocarcy timeline. It’s fucking wild.

[–] Stanard@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I'd rather be in the Idiocracy timeline. At least the leaders in that timeline looked for, and hired, the smartest people they could find to solve problems.

Seriously. This is the God Abandoned Us Thousands of Years Ago timeline.

Fuck…. You’re right.

Generations of right-wing propaganda has led to a populace that will do anything they're told. They've also managed to dehumanize anyone who disagrees with them, so people won't leave the fold. (Who would want to be "vermin", as trump/hitler/RTML(Rwanda) called their opponents.)

still in US politics

You're underselling it lol, there's a 50% risk he'll be given the keys to this "uranium".

Some Americans' psyche.

The majority doesn't want to hear from this idiot.

Tens of millions of Americans want this dipshit to have the power to decide to use nuclear weapons. Tens of millions of Americans look up to him for his intelligence and temperament to the point that they want him to be in charge.

As an American, I apologize to the world. Hateful assholes have been defunding our education for a long while and this is just the result, I guess. It's not that hard to self-educate these days to sidestep that issue, but there's also this weird culture of proud ignorance and bullying anybody who knows things. Watch Idiocracy if you don't understand what I mean.

For those wondering if it's real; it is.

I miss the olden days where I needed to see proof that he’d said something outrageously vacuous or terrifying.

I already know this quote must be real; alas, your link remains blue. 😞

And how many other fucking morons voted for him? Ugh. I fucking hate this place, someone delete me from Earth.

[–] bmsok@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

I threw up a little while reading that. Some would say even more than a little. But those people are bad. Very bad people. I have the best gag reflex you'll ever see. So great.

Nothing but the best words, I hate to say it but at this point I bet he is tired of winning so much, poor guy.

The 45th US president, or that time tens of millions of scared racist gullible idiots got conned and then voted a dementia sufferer into the oval office because the majority of the country couldn’t comprehend that the gullible idiots were actually that gullible.

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

You're going to need to use smaller words for them to understand.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 8 points 10 months ago

A true visionary. The words spill from his lips like a fine wine.

I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain, and I’ve said a lot of things

Defensive trumper: "but is he wrong though?"

[–] mriormro@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Uranium, itself, is none of those things. It is just uranium. So, yes, he's wrong.

[–] Wxnzxn@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Well, lots of things are done with Uranium, some of which are bad, checkmate leftists, he was right all along!!!!

Me: "I have no idea. If you can you explain what he's trying to say, I'll let know if it's wrong or not."
