They gave an air of respectability to crazy right-wing garbage that brought on Alex Jones, Newsmax, Joe Rogan, etc. That network needs to be shut down.
i'd guess its worse;
more like 2/3s, roughly
..bc 1/3 leans to the Right, which is dumb,
another 1/3 does not, (not dumb)
& the last 1/3 is either apathetic, or ignorant,
(willfully or otherwise) which is also dumb
They aren’t. Too many supposed “progressive” people think poor Appalachians and Southerners, who have been subject to shitty educations, union busting, gerrymandering, and voter suppression are “getting what they deserve” when they get fucked over by the govt, then wonder why they can’t win.
You realise that every time one of you says something like this, you just incentivise your potential support to look elsewhere? Has it occurred to you that to inquire as to why people didn't vote might be more productive? From the outside, choosing between 2 flavours of shit sandwich isn’t a choice.
More sense than trashing people because they didn’t do what you want, whilst giving a right-wing party like the Dems a 'get out of jail free’ card for ignoring the progressive part of their potential voters and going further right to woo conservatives. You personally deserve what you got.
It’s not only half. Thats why we are where we are. We really don’t make not being dumb a priority as a people. Education is different than learning to not be dumb. It’s adjacent to education but it’s its own thing. It’s critical thinking. Thinking beyond the first degree of any problem.
At the same time everything else in our culture and society encourages you to be dumbed down. Just skip fast forwarding through any commercial break when watching TV & pay attention to the commercials. Example, LiMu Emu and Doug. They’re all on that level. We are not a serious people. Idiocracy.

(I particularly enjoy the redneck MAGAs who insist that people speak English in Amurrica when they themselves barely can.)

It will not be second for long. Things are going to get way worse!
We are a nation of 340M people.
All of which are worthy of the El Salvador treatment/punishment...
(Hopefully, you are kidding.)
32% are strong enough to vote.
36% sat on their hands.
an interesting twist.
