If it makes it any better id argue that the average voter at least has the excuse of being propagandized and under educated with minimal ability to improve. These fucks have more than enough money to inprove themselves nearly infinitely but would rather wallow in their egos and call it wisdom.
I feel like if ya sat down with Cletus the Appalachian hillbilly and told him the tale of his names origin he would probably find it interesting at the very least.
Nah a lot of them at this point are generations deep into conservative propaganda and culture. It doesn’t really matter how intelligent one is when literally everyone around you is saying the same thing and has created a fucked up little reality bubble. Sometimes folks break away from it but it takes time and frankly speaking may not even be all that widespread.
He won due to apathy and stupidity, not active support from the majority of the total population. The very people who may have stayed home due to voter suppression for example could be the same folks bombing supply convoys for his fascist regime in due time.
The benefits of not having to deal with Russian bullshit to get those resources on the market is well worth the investment. Plus asset denial to an imperialistic country is worth every penny.
Are you illiterate? Dudes saying we dont need TSA theater bullshit because there are proper locks on the cockpit door.
Its because they see racism as an identity or ideology not as an action or an observational thing. I see it with my grandmother who will say some notably racist shit but doesnt see it as racist. They dont like the implication of being seen as a racist because they dont see themselves as racist.
The ability to improve oneself consciously requires the acknowledgment and will to do so those are both just as important. Thats not even getting into the mental health crises which adds its own problems and even more roadblocks. Imagine if you will a 30 year old man working a shitty job in a loading dock in rural Idaho the pay is shit the work is hard and when that dude finally gets home after 12 hours of work do you really think he will want to watch PBS eons or do you think he will watch Rust videos and pass out?
I may find that relaxing but even ill admit it that there is an appeal to mindless entertainment. Now consider the fact that this by itself has been going on for at least fourty years and thats not even getting into religious and political indoctrination. If theres one way to describe Americans as a whole its that we are broken.
I suspect that plenty of folks are hoping everything collapses simply because then theyd be able to get a fucking break even if it is only in death.
