    This is 'Murica in a nutshell though

    Reagan was voted in as president because the populace is stupid, and just saw a face they recognised

    The same thing happened in CALIFORNIA, many years later, when the harm that Reagan had done was well known (to the civilised world, admittedly. Muricans ignored it, despite living through it)

    America will choose hate and stupidity, if the think that there’s a tiny chance that they will personally benefit as individuals

    Most of them are stupid, and stupid people are afraid, and afraid people are easy to manipulate

      Apparently it is not whether they will benefit, more so that they are afraid someone else will. Our national motto is “Fuck those guys.” Deceptively simple with it’s darker meaning where those guys is not defined, only that the slightest perception of a variance in world view will put one into that category. Divided we fell.

        Yeah,

        For the wealthy, it’s about getting ahead

        For those who want to be wealthy, but aren’t, it’s about shitting on other people

        It’s a cruel society

      Daily reminder that these voter counts are still the minority of the country doing things.

      There are way too many stupid people, but it’s still not the majority

        They’re just the ones that are controlled (the “machines” of the matrix so helplessly dependent on the system they will fight to protect it), and thus they are made to be the most vocal, and as a result, those who cannot think for themselves get sucked up to be Borg while it helps repel many who find their ways to the deeper truths of the occult, like how this is how we intentionally engineered our culture.
