It’s a toss up

Given the media tendency to uncritically publish every cop claim about being hospitalized due to fentanyl being in the general vicinity, I'm not optimistic.

They only care about their base, and they *know* that those people are that stupid.

brettshady.bsky.social•3 days ago

They don’t care. This is what happens when no one holds authoritarians accountable.

I’m pretty sure they think we are, and who could blame them? Millions of Americans keep proving them right.

She's performing for an audience of one. And 100% of that audience is narcissistic, suffering from late stage dementia, and terrible with numbers.

It feels wrong that we're always in "Aha!" mode when marginal voters don't give a shit. But ignoring this stuff seems bad too.

Definitely worse that they are this stupid. Thinking we are only helps us.

Audience of one.

In fairness, she directed her comment to the media, and I wouldn't bet against *them* being that stupid.

Both are awful – They are stupid, but got ~77M voters to go along.

Many of us are this stupid which is really the problem that has gotten us here

We're not meant to believe the lies. We're meant to accept them knowing they're lies -- just as their followers do

They are not stupid, though they're not particularly smart. They are lazy. Soft, supine, content, sloppy, and happily ignorant. Immune to any change in thinking, no matter how obvious or necessary. Uncurious, indifferent, careless, and sluggish. Wealthy, sated, indolent, supercilious. La-fucking-zy.

*rubs between his eyes*

Radley, I am not sure how to break it to you but there is a reason for Rule 1 being Rule 1....

Rule 1 - Humans are fscking stupid.

Source: I've always been immortal, human stupidity made me a sociopath.

Like they give a shit - at the same time they are cancelling the narcan program

Zero cognition on why fentanyl is so prevalent.

That haven’t gotten this far thinking about other’s realities so I’m all in on stupid.

This tells me that they assume that 2/3 of the American people are going to die.

The https://dea.gov website has the number and a footnote that 2 mg is a "potentially deadly dose". Their math is screwy: if all 22.2M pills seized are "deadly", then 119M - 22.2M = 96.8M doses coming from other sources. 96.8M x 2mg = 193.6 kg or 427 lbs. That's way less than 3100 lbs they report.
