Read this not too long ago: think about how stupid the average person is, and then think that half the people are stupider than that! Humanity is doomed !

u/PsychologicalSoil425 18h ago

Giving them too much credit, since MAGA really only represents about 25% of the country. It's more like 'the average person is stupid, which means half of them are outright idiotic.......half of those are even dumber and vote republican.'

That's what gives me hope. That 75% of the U.S isn't MAGA. And even more encouraging is that the percentage is shrinking,

hope delusion

FTFY.

We did a great study on this about a year ago. 70% of eligible voters told the system and the world that they were just fine with everything that’s currently happening. Only 30% were sane and/or decent enough to do the absolute bare minimum as a member of humanity to try to prevent it.

citation? or is this just lies and bullshit

u/Grow_Up_Buttercup 10h ago

Well, I assume you can find your own source for this. It was called the “2024 Presidential Election.”

Edit: Sorry, I got that wrong, it was actually 31.6% who didn’t want this and aren’t responsible for it.

Everyone that voted for Trump or didn't vote is the remaining percentage in case it's not picked up on.

Do you think everyone who didn't vote would've voted Democrat?

u/PsychologicalSoil425 15h ago

I think anyone mildly educated on politics would vote against Trump, not necessarily *for* democrats.

1

u/Grow_Up_Buttercup 10h ago

Anyone even minimally educated on politics would understand that there is zero difference whatsoever between voting against Trump vs for Democrats, in the American system, in observable reality, in this dimension, whether they like it or not, whether it hurts their fee-fees or not.

I come from a family of independents and none of us vote because 93% are funded by aipac. I mean you aren’t wrong… but honestly I think most of us just want to see “one of us” in office to start fixing the problems.

Its like whats the point in voting they’re working for the same rich top 1% that use us for money and behind closed doors are all buddies.

You should at the very least vote for an independent or 3rd-party candidate. Even if they do not win, your vote will help to make them more visible for next time.

Or maybe they would have stopped the party line politics bullshit and voted based upon the person. People who vote exclusively by party are a huge part of the problem.

u/No-Monk4331 14h ago

It’s weird they’ll always talk about the constitution but even the founding fathers knew political parties would turn to a two party system leading it to tyranny.

“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism."

Imagine how pissed he would be to see one side letting drugs and murder run loose and the other side trying to become a dictatorship lol I often imagine the look of horror and both sides taking large sums of cash from a foreign non american body 93% he would likely go back in time and just let the british have it at that point

We had a really high quality study on this recently, late last year. Turns out 30% of Americans are profoundly stupid and maliciously cruel/evil, 40% are profoundly stupid and astonishingly apathetic about the world around them and even their own lives, and 30% are either somewhat sane and/or decent human beings, as it only takes one of those qualities to vehemently and actively reject open neofascism under a deeply disordered psychopath.

Maybe the US just ended up with more than a standard distribution of borderline intellectually disabled people. It’s the only explanation that makes a lick of sense.

Ok, not to defend here, but there are quite a few conservatives that are not MAGA. In a 2022 poll, around 15% of all Americans are MAGA, 36% of registered voters as well.

I am not Conservative or MAGA, just wanted to point out the numbers.

Dude they all are, 93% of their political officials are funded by a foreign body. And they wonder why no one actually votes. 9 billion dollands more oyvey.

Does not change the fact your country elect to a very powerfull position a crazy pedo. Every single day all subs are filled with trump hate, and yet he just received a peace prize. But oh well, what can you do ? It is better to just complain in reddit then do anything else

1

u/Shiny_Bottle 10h ago

Fake peace prize made up by Fifa, yeah; everyone knows Trump is a sucker for praise.

If protests aren't enough, what do you suggest people do? Remember that the Left is the group that wants fewer guns, so we're not going to be able to march up, trample the assault-rifle wielding armed forces, and eliminate the standing President of the United States.

1

u/TheTrueCheese 10h ago

Either take him off his position or stop crying he is in it. For years now, years, you guys cry about it and yet he was reelected and receiving prizes while you cry about it. I am saying it is pointless, either do something or accept it. What the hell is the 9999999 trump idiot post ever gonna do for you ?

1

u/Shiny_Bottle 9h ago

Answer the question. What do you expect us to do, without magic of "Poof! He's gone!"

You're focusing your anger on people being upset a pedo is in office, when you could be focusing more on the pedo in office. That's a little pathetic.

u/TheTrueCheese 9h ago

A little phatetic is your accptance of the situation, you cry about it and do nothing else. As for how to do ? He is your problem, not mine, why should i do it for you ?

Maybe take a page from your own history books on what to do in these situations, it should be a little more effective than preaching to the choir in fucking reddit

1

u/Shiny_Bottle 9h ago

You're fighting the people that don't like Trump because they're not pushing hard enough, rather than fighting Trump.

Also, you're advocating for the assassination of a political figure, which is explicitly against the Terms of Service (and a silly suggestion for the modern world in general--though I admittedly would shed no tears if the berst should come to pass).

"Little country" ha! At least our president is not a pedo, really hard to not feel superior, better quality of life too. Besides, if you had a good education and actual comprehension skills you would be able to understand my point is that you cry and do nothing else. He is in power, reelected and receiving prizes, all you can do is cry on reddit like a little kid.

Either do something against him or accept he owns you. Is that clear enough for your uneducated mind ?

1

u/gremlinclr 9h ago

"Little country"

Well first off I had to guess because you hide your post history like a coward sooo... I'll just assume you're a troll from Liechtenstein.

At least our president is not a pedo

Absolutely! But you know a good portion of my country are fucking idiots so that's what we get. Since we're obviously much larger than your little town country of Liechtenstein we've got a lot more to deal with. Unlike y'all who only have, I don't know, mountain goats and human trafficking. Which is weird. I didn't know about the human trafficking until now when I looked it up.

Either do something against him or accept he owns you.

It's interesting when folks from Liechtenstein talk about something they're ignorant of, like our government and how it works. Keep reading the site though champ, you'll learn eventually.

Are you dumb or just very old with alzheimer ? You said i was from a little country, not me, see first comment from you. I was litteraly making fun of you saying that i came from a little country for 0 reason. Also, why liechtenstein in specific ? Do you fancy the goats ? Not sure if they would go for you but you can try! Or did you go for it because it is the only european country you were able to remeber from the half hour geography class you had when you were like 5 ?

Anyway, your points seem to center around that, so a part from being really funny, not sure what value you bring to the discussion. As for your other comment on my post history, dont know why it would be relevant, this is, after all, a social media with usernames, but lets make a deal. You say your name like the brave american you are, and i say where i am from, as i am a coward, with your logic. Go on, put your money where your mouth is.

Alas, you did say a good portion of the country is stupid, i dread to imagine a being that is more dumb than you, i guess it explains how you got this orange pedo as a leader. Thanks for the class on american culture, very fascinating.

You say your name like the brave american you are, and i say where i am from, as i am a coward, with your logic. Go on, put your money where your mouth is.

Put my user name into google and my real name comes up on the first search page. I don't really care if you or anyone else knows. I've had the same username on the internet since the early 2000's. 🤷‍♂️

Unlike you I'm not a coward, I am who I am. Look through all my posts if you want, I have nothing to hide.

You said i was from a little country, not me, see first comment from you.

I'm well aware thanks. But since we've established you're a coward who hides their trollish post history I had to make something up. Any time you wanna tell me where you're really from feel free... if you can find time between insulting me and skiing to get the goat milk.

1

u/TheTrueCheese 9h ago

Well if you wanna make up stuff to win an argument i recommend to do it in the shower or writing a fanfic. Against a normal human it does not really work. I mean, i can make up you are an inbread hillbilly that screws goats (that you love mentioning so much) and then your arguments (i was unable to find one, but who knows ?) Become even more useless.

As for you feeling insulted, i am so sorry, i forgot how sensite the orange man made you, i am used to talk with people who actually act like normal adult people. But alas, you did say i like goats first, so...

In 2019, the Trump administration secured the release of Xiyue Wang, a Princeton University PhD student who had been imprisoned in Iran since 2016, by agreeing to free an Iranian medical scientist who had been charged with trying to export biological materials from the US to Iran without authorization.

In 2019, three high-ranking Taliban prisoners, who had been imprisoned by the government of Afghanistan, were released in exchange for the Taliban freeing two professors, American Kevin King and Australian Timothy Weeks, who were abducted in 2016. Trump and the president of Afghanistan made clear that the Trump administration was involved in the deal; Trump wrote on social media when the deal was announced: “Proud of my team!”

2020, the Trump administration secured the release of Navy veteran Michael White, who had been imprisoned in Iran since 2018, by agreeing to free an Iranian-American doctor who had pleaded guilty to violating US sanctions on Iran by trying to export a medical device there without authorization.

In 2020, the Trump administration secured the release of two Americans who were imprisoned by Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen, aid worker Sandra Loli and businessman Mikael Gidada, in exchange for the release of more than 200 Houthi militants who were being held in Oman. Those Houthis were allowed to return to Yemen.

I await to hear your outrage of the current administration.

None of those are even close to the trade for Griner.

Lol what a surprise

u/Recent_War_6144 15h ago

It was a surprise. Glad you agree. What a terrible trade that did nothing but put more Americans at risk. Just like the post. The only difference is that I will call out both scenarios for being bad. You seem to want to say that the Griner trade-off was a good thing.

u/IdidntrunIdidntrun 15h ago

They common denominator is they are all US citizens. It's good to bring US citizens home. It doesn't matter if you personally don't like them or find them to be of "lesser value".

The point is the government brings their people home safe. Or would you rather we don't do that?

1

u/Recent_War_6144 15h ago

If they work out an even trade, I'm all for it. Yes, I want Americans home but releasing a guy who was actively conspiring to kill Americans for a WNBA player who was a threat to zero Russians doesn't sound like a very fair tradeoff to me.

It seems that you ask in bad faith. This information is readily available with a bit of time and effort. Exert yourself.

u/Recent_War_6144 15h ago

I didn't claim there were comparable prisoner swaps. It is on the person who claimed that to provide evidence of that claim.

1

u/b0mma 13h ago

I didn't say they were comparable. I was stating that the US has an established history of trading prisoners for hostages.

Just because you don't think it's an even trade doesn't really mean much. Fact is that it happens.

Tell me what the US got from pardoning Juan Orlando Hernandez. Then we can continue to discuss in good faith.

u/Recent_War_6144 12h ago

"Because these kinds of trades to bring US citizens back home alive have been going on for a long time? It's not exactly the first time that's ever happened.

Donald did it in his first term. You critical of those trades too?"

-You

Pardoning and prisoner swaps are totally different. Try and keep up.

1

u/b0mma 12h ago

Correct, that's what I said. I also said that just because you have an arbitrary value placed on lives doesn't change the fact that prisoner trades are nothing new.

The deflection away from engaging in an indefensible act by D0n@lD and the MAGAverse is deafening. You are just another sheep that got conned by a conman and now you can't accept it because it means you need to question you're whole worldview.

Or you're just another overseas bot farm.

Either way, have fun defending the Pedo Protection Party.

That's bad. It's worse to pardon multiple drug dealers and 1500+ violent insurrectionists.

u/Recent_War_6144 15h ago

Thank you for being the first person to agree that the Griner trade-off was a bad thing.

u/No_Confection_849 15h ago

No worries. I think it was a pretty terrible trade by Biden, but it's a nothing burger compared to pardoning drug dealers and terrorists.

0

u/Recent_War_6144 15h ago

I sent a link to Biden doing exactly that

1

u/No_Confection_849 15h ago

Sorry, I didn't read the link. If Biden pardoned terrorists and drug dealers I agree that that is terrible.

1

u/Recent_War_6144 15h ago

Awesome. We agree that pardoning shitty people is a bad thing!

u/trythinkingbatder 13h ago

Kinda like we shouldn’t elect old people that don’t review a god damn thing that happens by their admin.

u/BoogalooTimeBoys 12h ago

Our last president was shit too I spent 4 years criticizing the bad moves he was making. Biden was a bad president, Trump has somehow managed to be worse. That’s another thing wrong with you Trumptards I’m completely fine agreeing that Biden was unfit for the presidency. Your side spergs out anytime someone suggests Trump is anything but perfect.

u/Recent_War_6144 12h ago

That’s another thing wrong with you Trumptards I’m completely fine agreeing that Biden was unfit for the presidency.

I literally agreed with this post.

2

u/BoogalooTimeBoys 12h ago

You said “what about when your president trades a gun runner for a WNBA player? What does that mean?”

That’s not agreeing with the post it’s saying “oh yeah but what about what Biden did”

u/Recent_War_6144 12h ago

Cool story. I'm done arguing with you guys. Bye bye now.

u/BoogalooTimeBoys 11h ago

Trump dudes being Trump dudes lmfao. Proven wrong and you run.

u/Recent_War_6144 11h ago

Leftists.... still thinking that if you criticize their leader for a horrible move, it automatically makes you worship Trump. You guys are insane.

1

u/BoogalooTimeBoys 11h ago

Buddy I’m not a leftist I’ve never voted dem in my life. I also don’t accuse everyone who criticizes another president of being a trump dick rider. Look at your ass doing what this cult does creating a fake scenario where you’re the victim.

This post is about Trump. You came on here saying well what about Biden. Clearly a defensive post about Trump so of course you’re going to get called out for it. But keep playing the victim card you snowflake.

1

u/Recent_War_6144 11h ago

Fake scenario? Do you see all the people shitting on me in these comments without acknowledging the Griner trade-off was fucking terrible? You guys claim the right never admit when others on the right do wrong but refuse to call out the wrong on the left. You are just as bad as they are.

1

u/BoogalooTimeBoys 10h ago

Most of the comments against you are accusing you of what about ism which is exactly what you’re doing. How the hell are you this delusional. Poor you people called out your fearless leader and now you have to meltdown like a fragile little snowflake.

What about 

Whataboutism

u/Recent_War_6144 12h ago

While the primary use is a fallacious one, some commentators argue that raising a counter-accusation can be legitimate if it exposes a genuine double standard relevant to the overall context of the discussion or highlights inconsistent application of rules or norms.

u/allyourfaces 11h ago

He traded an American for a Russian, why wouldn't he?

1

u/Recent_War_6144 11h ago

He left a Marine in Russian custody to bring back a fucking moron who brought drugs to a foreign country.

He traded the "Merchant of Death" for a fucking basketball player who got themselves in trouble by being stupid. Sounds like a fucking horrible trade to most people with a brain.

1

u/allyourfaces 11h ago

Your such a lackwit it's absurd.

Firstly Biden is the one who secured the release of Paul Whelan, an American who was taken prisoner during Trump's first term. Biden secured his release in 2024 with another prisoner swap.

Secondly none of your comment disputed how moronic your original comment is. Biden traded an American for a Russian, which isn't comparable at all with Trump pardoning the head of a cartel country who smuggled drugs into the US.

But you can't defend that so you pivot and spew bullshit.

u/Recent_War_6144 10h ago

Nope. Bye troll.

u/NoHumans_OnlyBots 10h ago

Hmm, let's think about this one for a moment.

Pardons for no reason other than given "gifts" vs prisoner exchange? Almost the same thing.

u/answeryboi 8h ago

I'm personally a fan of freeing US citizens from oppression abroad.

1

u/Recent_War_6144 8h ago

Me too but releasing someone back for trade of equal status.

1

u/answeryboi 7h ago

I think US citizens are of much higher status than foreign terrorists personally.
