It's time to stop expecting critical thinking skills from people who aren't smart enough to realize that "I love the poorly educated" was not a compliment.

I’ve been doing some reading and it occurs to me that as we choke on what Trump is trying to jam down our throats and keep spitting it out, that 49.9% of America just said “please sir, can i get some more” and just swallowed. We should just start calling these stupid MAGATs “subs”.
What if a few of them have critical thinking skills, but only use them for The Dark Side? And why aren’t we using ours to get ahead of their Dis/Mis-Info campaigns? Maybe we’re too arrogant to accept that if TV ads for crap gets us spending $ on it, then political ads get us voting against ourselves
Wow!!! Sky this the absolute truth!! It’s common sense but it’s not often to see someone actually saying it out loud. Which makes a now becoming the “norm” & tbh. I prefer knowing who is a racist, a pig, a criminal etc…. It’s better to know than be fooled!! Imho
That’s crazy talk. If we don’t engage the critical thinking of our fellow Americans with whom we disagree than we have chosen a small minded approach to “we are all In this together.”
Those people are our friends, neighbors and family members. What are we going to do? Deport them? Cmon. Get real
there’s a reason deep red states have the highest illiteracy rates. the republican party benefits from keeping people uneducated. there’s a reason college educated people tend to lean left (and it’s not indoctrination)
I was going to make a snotty comment how fifty percent graduated in the bottom half of their class. Then I started thinking about toxoplasmosis. Perhaps they’re similarly infected to behave contrary to their own interests.
Undereducated people lack critical thinking skills.
That makes them reliant on emotions.
The GOP platform stokes paranoia and its politicians position themselves as heroes that will save them.
It's no coincidence the GOP wants to get rid of public education.
It may be their most important strategy.
Critical Thinking Skills are great and all, I work hard to always improve my own. But they required a secure, and sane, emotional base to optimally function, or our darker emotions will subvert those skills to serve our uncivilized sides. Or “How Not to become a Sith Lord” (or Elon Musk)
Start the #resistance in your city, gather friends and family. Organize a march or a protest.
Remember to remain NON-VIOLENT.
Use your voice and your pen.

There is no time! Start NOW!!
It's also time to stop expecting to win elections if you can't win the votes of people without critical thinking skills, because that represents the vast majority of the electorate.
I don’t even expect them from our guys anymore either. In 4 years they didn’t adopt skills required to effectively fight this russian takeover of our nation. They are acquiescing without a whimper. We have proof and receipts piled as high as the Empire State Building.
Couldn’t agree more - I’ve said for a few years now that the “hearts and minds” approach beloved by Democrats has abjectly failed to slow or stop the MAGA brand of white nationalist fascism. We’re past coming back together all as one happy populace.
Exactly. They need to feel it in their wallet. I know we all will but without the economic pain they will only believe Fox. I stop buying in 2025. The pain needs to come fast. Let’s move it along.
They wear that badge with honor. @benjaminpdixon.bsky.social just put out a great video about the MAGA Mind Virus and it's hilarious if you haven't watched it.
I said this before, so pardon if u read it before, a woman on nextdoor posted about a man "trust passing". It's wasn't a mistake. A grown ass woman - from bama.
They get pissed if they think you're smart - to them it's an insult - "you think you're so smart.
Well yeah - the bar ain't that high here.
A lot of well-educated people voted for him too. I think it's time to move past this thinking and figure out how to win back voters across the board - from working class to the elite. We won't win again until we do.
Exactly. It's a total waste of time. You can point to a blue sky (no pun intended) and they would insist it's green, because frump and Fox News say so. They can't think for themselves.
And thanks to our wonderful Electoral College, those poorly educated folks have a disproportionate effect on our governance. The Electoral College MUST be abolished to end the tyranny of the stupid minority.
We have libraries. It is easy to get knowledge. Open a book and read. Plus, there is audio books. There is no reason to not be learning. Instead, people want to complain and leave things up to others to fix. It takes all of us to bring about change, so let’s all ban together and stop Trump.
At this point we need to quit reacting to all the dumb Shhh and focus on the assault on Democracy that's going to happen daily. It's way more important than listening to these trumpers.

Maybe if kids are taught about the fallacies, they wouldn't fall for toxic political rhetoric.

Uh, OK! Man, he's really on side.
Now make sure to give me new technological advances every year and keep my body from dying on me while I poison it from every angle, filthy elitists.

Trump bad. He no good.
Trump take your meat and potatoes. That is bad.
Eventually, some things are only explainable with either incompetence or willful ignorance.

How about posting opposition info going on EVERYDAY instead of continuously posting the same exact dumpster dive content as MSM?!???
Your critical thinking isn’t too far off from what you’re complaining about.
