Imagine if Americans, men and women, weren't political morons with the education of a 4yo.

Education of a 4 year old, but the malice of an 80 yelling at his neighbors kids for touching his lawn.

Seriously, living in flyover country the average person is so much more fuckin stupid than you think. The average American adult is incapable of critical thinking and is functionally illiterate. I knew people were fuckin dumb twenty years ago in school but holy shit it's so much worse now.

I think it wasn’t as acceptable to be willfully ignorant back then. Stupid people were shamed (rightfully) into silence in serious discussions. But now we have a president who speaks at a 4th grade reading level, so dumb fucks feel free to screech about everything, whether they have a modicum of understanding or not.

As if the professional managerial class doesn't have their own intellectual short comings when it comes to politics. For a group thet despises Marxist Lenninism, they sure love being the vanguard

Imagine if america wasn't concocted by literal genocidal enslavers.

Where people are raised on total bullshit from birth, there's zero surprise that their "leaders" are pure garbage.
