    So, I always thought it was just a mean bully thing to say, but, as a group, Americans really are dumber than a bag of rocks.

      I used to be the guy who said things like: you can’t just call a whole country stupid. Bush was bad, but mistakes happen. Okay, bush was bad, what makes you think his son is better? Got it, so you learned that he’s not better. You voted a second time? Okay that’s kinda stupid if you ask me. And now? What are you even supposed to say anymore? A bag of rocks can at least be hucked at some american

        Lots of countries are stupid, but not that many have >50% of their population be that incredibly stupid. Usually it’s closer to 20-30%. America takes the gold though.

          The Philippines elected the son of the most brutal dictator in their history. So im really not sure about that.

          Look at Italy, Hungary, Slovakia, UK and Germany’s AFD. Hate is potent political fuel that’s burning hotter and hotter.

              It’s going to swing right all across the world. This win solidifies the U.S. as a fascist nation. All the money and resources that have gone into achieving that won’t disappear, if anything there’ll be more money available now.

              This is the opening bell on a very dark age.

              It’s been swinging right since about 2012, worldwide. This is a symptom of that disease. The world has been falling more and more to right wing authoritarian fear mongering and xenophobia. Across Europe, the South Pacific, South America, Africa. Literally every continent has been swinging to the right and flirting with that doomsday trend of falling to fascist takeovers every, like, 80 years or so. And it’s back. Like some fucking cancer you just can’t beat.

      The real question is “if they are so stupid why did you lose?” Why didn’t your superior intellect lead you to victory?
