We are NOT a stupid country! We are an oppressed people that have been given the ILLUSION of freedom and liberties and democracy. Our politicians, no matter what side, are obliged to their wealthy donors. One showed real courage today. One! We need a new govt by the people for the people. Enough!
“Oppressed people”? We are a shithole country filled with privileged, majority white settler colonialist punks who’ve spent the past 40 years whining instead of VOTING, or better yet—running for local & state seats. After 40 years of fucking around, we’re about to find out what we frittered away.
What do you get for the thousands of dollars you pay in healthcare? More bills. What happens if you can’t pay taxes on the mortgage you’ve been paying for years because the value of the house went up? Why do we pay the highest prices for medications when we’ve funded the research and development of
Those medications? Why do we pay obscene amounts of money just to get an education? Why do we pay some of the highest food prices in the world? Why do politicians with no medical background, decide on our medical care? Why is the minimum wage a starving wage? Why can’t we afford basic necessities
While working full time? Why does our money go to wars instead of fixing our problems here at home? Why doesn’t our govt adequately fund schools? Why are we one of the countries with the most incarcerated plp per capita? Why do cops kill thousands of people each year and they get away with
It because of qualified immunity? Why can’t people afford to retire? I could go on but this list seems pretty oppressive to me. The job of the politicians is precisely to make us blame other people instead of the politicians themselves. Why? Because they work for their donors not us.
You’re preaching to the choir. I lived in Germany for 10 years. I KNOW how a functioning social market capitalist democracy works. And I know that for it to work people need to VOTE. They need to ORGANIZE. Protest—effectively. Let me tell you about the day the Us bombed Bhagdad..
I was in Germany. I got up and headed to the city center, just like 1000s of others in my town of about 100K. In every other city and town throughout western Europe, the same thing happened. No one needed to tell us to march, to protest. We just did it. Political apathy was socially unacceptable
Esp if you were left-leaning: no matter what the issue, you were looked down upon if you didn’t get out and MARCH. For abortion rights, for gay marriage, for labor laws, against war. And that is why Europe has all the things we don’t—because the population is actively engaged.
Why have moronic GOP candidates been able to successfully commander the entire government apparatus while flaming radicals piss & moan about all the coulda, shoulda, wouldas …? Maybe because those morons VOTE? And organize. And run for offices, and WIN those elections while we flame out.
Will all of the news agencies get the constant flood of outrage headlines they want now?
The loss of jobs, pride and lives from personal and national economic destruction, will get a lot of views.
No but some party leaders are. They don't live up to their name, in terms of procedures, actions when they had power, nor what they did outside of a majority. Need a fresh party made up of people without seniority power grabbing and actual concern for the people.
And immoral. We're the country of Native genocide, white-on-black chattel slavery, segregation, isolationism during WWII, imperialist aggression in every era, bombing Middle-Eastern orphans, and now not one but two fucking tr*mp presidencies. This country really has no right to continue existing.
We keep destroying this country every 4-8 years and never learn. We are getting what we deserve at this point. I feel bad for the kids, but this is on all of us.

You get a do-over. Next round, be nicer, fair, don't steal, cheat, lie, plant Dictators. Earth is big enough for all.
YOU MADE YOURSELF #1, NOW PROVE TO THE WORLD YOU DESERVE THAT SPOT
worst of all, we got rich after letting the rest of the civilized world get flattened in WW2, then convinced ourselves it was because we were exceptional
Suspicion starts when the chances of winning every swing state are fantastically small. Elon's lottery helped. He only needed two pieces of information.
The number of ballots with only one thing selected was 4-7% in those states. It is usually 0.1-4%. Those were only votes for President.
Just because the Dems were so anxious to demonstrate that we could still have voting integrity and a smooth power transition, some very valid concerns were suppressed.
Not really. But ignoring information that is reality based is not pushing conspiracy theory. I can back my viewpoint with sources from many ‘mainstream’ and reputable articles and interviews. Proceeding with blinders on has gotten us into trouble before. We ignore this info at our peril.
We were stupid to allow the balance of power to shift to the rural states over the last 150 years. If it wasn't for the "Grand Compromise" we would be a much different nation--think Europe.
The Constitution has made the USA republic the longest in the world. The current problem is that its members are not following their oath to uphold it.
It takes a lot of brains to be tied up with russia, north korea, iran. We are also signaling china to take over Taiwan after kicking Ukraine to the side of the road.
This cancer that is the right wing propaganda machine, well assuming any of the owners care about the future of the human race, they really need to start turning it all off, and get back to truth.
Making America great again, depends on first Americans knowing basic information accurately.
When this nightmare is over, perhaps your country could address the consequences of allowing media barons unprecedented power and influence? And do something about the education system? (I wish mine would).
Allowing certain RW elements to create an alternate reality that ensnares almost half the country sure seems to be overlooked as well.
Same tactic has been used up here in 🇨🇦.
Relentlessly.
What a time to be alive.
More people should watch Vigilante Inc. one woman challenged 32000 ballots in Georgia. They challenged millions of legitimate ballots in swing states and most were tossed out. Republicans cheat and I’m sure Kamala won.
"Electing." Besides the fact that the Constitution bars him from being president, there's enough video evidence alone to have warranted an investigation into that election. I'm not even a conspiracy weirdo, either.
I didn’t watch but heard about the “good trouble” made by Rep Al Green. It was extremely disappointing that EVERY Democrat didn’t immediately ‘stand up’ and follow him out in a sign of support and unity! I’m ashamed of my Democratic Party for not being more assertive!!!
We are, no denying that. But honestly, it's deeper. We are a very stupid animal, this kind of stupid shit goes on with humans everywhere, in every country. It's just our turn to take the lead.
Yes, we are. We should’ve learned in 2016 and that is why I am so angry at my representatives in this government. What the fuck are they doing so have we not made our thoughts clear to them? I’m just sick.
Going to get worse before it gets better. Trump announced he's overhauling student loans and the WWE lady is tasked and eager to dismantle the Dept of Ed.
Is this not “too extreme for Americans”? This is how you know MSM wants fascism to win. They use this phrase successfully against all Dems. Time to make being extremely progressive true.
Carl Sagan was completely right about the cult of ignorance. They got their leader "elected" and they're giddy that he's "punishing" us for daring to make them feel dumb for asking them to think.
I agree with you. I don’t believe how a party of politicians would vote to make it happen to be Russian? They don’t care anymore because trump is a fascist dictator traitor. You should all resign because you are not working for the American people.
I believe the election was stolen in swing states but there were enough legit voters for us to earn that “stupid” title. It’s enraging tbh. People don’t seem to understand you are supposed to vote on your own interests not hyped-up issues that distract. Their brains were hacked so what do we do now?
Mrs. Betty, you are absolutely right. Tonight’s speech was full of lies, chaos giving by a treasonous deranged ignorant person. And all the drugs coming from Mexico is bs, 100% of weapons used by the drug cartels come from America. Cut the weapons will dissolve the cartel.
Hate to say it but it just isn't so.
This is absolutely what people voted for.
Anyone from outside the USA and its various political bubbles will tell you that a very obvious majority of Americans wanted to hurt their perceived enemies more than help themselves.
Their electoral system is very broken
Honey, we have the WWF/WWE. Stupid doesn't do us justice. Hiring a retarded employee, who has caused a problem at ALL his previous jobs, and keeping up covering for him, and not even getting oral for it, is a level of stupid that I've yet to define.
So very very ashamed.
But this dumbing down has been decades in the making.
Our biggest mistake was in thinking the incurious & gullible dunderheads were the minority.
for sure. but do make sure your passport is renewed NOW just in case. who knows if the state dept will have a functioning group to renew passports soon
i have zero trust in little marco, and doubt he’s even in control of the state department anyway
GOP saw their whole operation get hijacked by the trump.
They were powerless to stop him and simply surrendered to an obvious blithering idiot con man criminal,
and they still haven’t learned a single lesson about integrity .
How many decades does it take to go from hippies in the 60’s, loving sex and drugs and vitamins and natural cures and raw milk TO a “conservative” party who loves sex and and drugs and vitamins and natural cures and raw milk?
The evidence shows that this has been a dumb country for a long time, at least since Reagan. So far luckily, every once in a while someone comes along to clean up. Then without skipping a beat someone else defacates again.
I disagree. That's a cope-out. And, it's dangerous. The American people are no more stupid than in the rest of the world. They are being led by pathetic Congressional Dems and despicable congressional Reps.
Fools *maybe* learn from their own mistakes. The wise learn from *other peoples* mistakes. America did not learn from history the teachings needed to prevent its current predicament.
It's appalling to me how many people just didn't vote. Trump is the greatest existential threat America to this country since it's inception. This election should have been a slam dunk. It was a test of the American voter, and they failed, utterly. A stunning indictment of the US.
I'm so angry at the Democrats who didn't BOTHER to vote. This is something we've GOT to work on. I can hope a good bit of them have opened their eyes now.
Not a stupid country Betty…just a large swath of people who are not the most intelligent on the planet. When shows like the Apprentice, WWE and any reality TV show have more viewers than others then we have a problem. Ignorance & hatred is not innate…it’s inherited. That’s the problem!
I hate the people who voted for Trump. I'm disgusted with the people who didn't vote. People who voted against Harris/for Stein because of Palestine your protest vote was for nothing. I have no sympathy for MAGAts who regret voting Trump. They knew what he was. They just thought they'd be safe
Humans in general are pretty stupid. What just happened tonight and what I’m reading because I could not bear listening to it, is the most ignorant, fucked up human shit that may have been appropriate with Neanderthals. Greeting stupidity rule. And disgusted.
I know I'm guilty of saying they were so stupid, and they were, but it is not, I think, a defect in potential. They were graced with a mind capable of learning to reason plus given a free basic education and then still voted for the guy who openly supported Russia, promised insane things, etc..
Not really. If they were born with a defect, they might have an excuse. I'm saying they probably have the potential, but on some level have chosen not to develop their minds. This is worse. If we are to get out of this ditch, we need people to start using their minds, not just repeating propaganda.
Some people were more interested in virtue signalling a moral stand against genocide by dunking on the Democrats than keeping Putin's obese hamster out of the White House.
But 51% still think Trumps awesome. Don’t forget we are in our Bluesky bubble but apparently X MAGA followers are loving all this shake up and hate us Dems even more! 😳
That's currently how I see the U. S. but you can still turn it around. (If you act soon.)
I believe it's not the mistakes you make that you should be judged by but rather, whether you learn from them & the path you chose going forward.
GOP's been dumbing you down since Reagan. Turn it around!

Just a thought.
the American election was stolen right in front of everyone's eyes and no one is willing to talk about it
thanx

PLEASE Call for Mass Mobilization of a Unified GENERAL STRIKE
LABOR+TRANSPORTATION+SANITATION+STUDENTS+ AIRLINES-UNIONS-VETS-ALL SECTORS
CALL ON LEADERS TO BROADCAST THIS TO AMERICANS
WE ARE IN A COUP
BRING AMERICA TO A STOP
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE READY
WE’RE NUMBER DUMB!
WE’RE NUMBER DUMB!
So, half right on this one…
Idiocracy in plain view.
Now engaging with the 81 million who did not cast a ballot is another thing 😉

m@ga are going apesh!t for some reason over that verbal diarrhea even though it’s the SAME boring lies on repeat
We are an idiot sandwich
At least the blue voters won, sort of, in the end.
president that’s why Muskrat calls the shots along with Putin.
So many don’t vote.
Apparently we didn’t learn our lesson and are even more stupid, electing him again.
The measure of the country will now be how we extricate ourselves and recover from this shitshow.
