And she’s voting Republican again!
Leopards: “NomNom”
It amazes me that these articles keep appearing and the Democrats are unable to leverage this into votes. Writing these people as stupid is useless. We still have to win elections with a large population of stupid people.
You cannot leverage this into votes. You regularly read “Trump killed my business/sent my spouse to Neverland/whatever, but I will vote for him again!”. Those people can’t be helped.
the establishment in the Democratic party isn’t interested in winning.
“Stupid is as stupid does”. The failure of the US education system and rising social media bias are having a Darwinian effect
this is like burning women at the stake and laughing that some spectators got hit by a hot ember. saying that he deserves it.
they punishment that they deserve is nothing in comparison to what they get.
and the pain they are recieving is inconsequential compared to the one they are causing
Good ol’ Donnie fixing the US by kicking people like this mother fucker out.
I have no sympathy left for people voting for their own pain.
Easiest breakup ever. Masterfully done! /s
She was blind and now she can see. I’m sure she still isn’t seeing the whole picture.
The good old “he’s not hurting the right people”
Absolutely zero empathy …. 🫂
Some peopple just don’t want glasses.
I thought the threat was Iranian nuclear ICBMs, which they don’t have. Looks like the threat is inside the room.
I read “blindfolded” at first and wasn’t even the slightest bit surprised
Oh noez! Anyway…
My only joy in these times of the orange shit stain, is these magats getting pounded.
It might be petty and small of me, but I don’t give a shit.
You vote for Trump once… I can kind of excuse it as stupid… You vote for him twice and you’re just an evil fucker and I have zero sympathy left.
Some of them voted for him 3 times even, wild! My father and brother are in this category. I do not speak to them. I’m gay and my daughter is trans and they voted for that asswipe three times!
I am arrow straight and do the same
Or still stupid they obviously just follow the propaganda like sheep.
Nah, at some point it’s malicious. It’s the “fuck your feelings” crowd, after all.
I think in history there has never been a quicker demonstration of “if you support fascists they will eventually come for you too”. Dude has been in the office for couple months and is already rounding up his supporters lol
A couple of months? I reflexively thought No, it must be a couple years already.
Damn, those were long months.Yep and 3.5 years to go…if it ever ends.
We have a chance to flip the house and senate in 1.5 years.
Right! Hope it happens!
How liberals think fascists are defeated
Well I don’t have the power to do a special military operation so this is plan b
Everything is either Unarmed or Four Star General; nothing in between.
YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE.
A point of light in an increasingly dreary world.
Gardner is seven months pregnant, but remains hopeful that her husband will be with her when she gives birth.
“My heart is broken,” Gardner told the outlet. “Our baby shower is going to be next weekend, and he’s not going to be at home to go to that with me.”
He’s missing the baby shower?? You should tell ICE, maybe they’ll release him.
they’ll probably deport the baby
Depends on skin color.
ice froze her shower.
Tell Trump even
My eyes almost rolled all the way out of my head reading this article. The dude is from IRAN, and this blindsided them.
To be clear, it sounds like this dude is a loving family man and member of the community, and he did not deserve this. And even if he was a scumbag, we don’t use secret police to deal with scumbags.
But sometimes it hurts to have the depth of some people’s oblivious ignorance revealed so starkly. Some other comments have already pointed out the stupid “golly I think there might be bad people on the left AND the right!” conclusion at the end of the article. But here’s another gem from in the middle:
“My husband himself, even being from Iran, supported Trump, his immigration policies, and understood he was trying to protect the American people and was praying he helped free the Iranian people,” Gardner told Newsweek.
These people look at an elderly hateful narcissist of a grifter and parasite, and hear his messages of hate and division and exclusion, and apparently the image formed in their dusty brains is Captain Fucking Planet!
By your powers combined…I AM…CAPTAIN…PLLLLLANNNNUUUTTTT uhhhhhggg mmmmHmmm
To be clear, it sounds like this dude is a loving family man and member of the community,
That is how the other narcissistic morons always describes one of their own. During covid there were so many obituaries about these “loving family people” who had died from being unvaccinated, and when you checked their social media history it consisted of nothing but heinous hateful memes.
Yeah, no disagreement there.
I’m so extremely puzzled by it. I cannot fathom what it is that’s so alluring about Donald Trump. The guy is a total asswipe.
He uses hypnosis techniques while projecting vague enough ideas to people who need to hear that it’s all going to be okay. I am one that falls for it, that’s how I researched it to figure it out. That’s why I tell people to speed up his videos to 1.5 for family that have gone maga, it breaks the spell.
I am convinced I will go to my grave with this being the most frustrating piece of knowledge missing from my life. It defies logic to the point that I’ve had to adjust my perspective on humanity to account for it.
Cippola explains it
These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:
-
Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
-
The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
-
A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
-
Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
-
A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
I have come to understand that this is the explanation but it still doesn’t make sense in a way that I can internalize. I don’t get the mechanics of stupidity because having what I would have called average intelligence seems like such an easy bar to clear. A+B=C comes so naturally to me that I literally can’t force my brain to do anything different and yet I know people personally who obviously don’t do that at all on their own and it amazes me. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to figure out what they’re actually doing with their thoughts. All I know for sure is that logic doesn’t exist until someone else starts the process and that is baffling.
The way a stupid persons brain works is a mystery. Understanding that is my struggle even though I know that it is the answer to the original question.

It’s the “I don’t give a fuck” attitude he has. His fan base thinks that leader material. They think compromise and humility are weak. They like that he doesn’t care for people. They believe he cares for them and all his hate spew is towards everyone else but them.
it is like a siren song.
The guy talks like he feels strongly about issues but remains absolutely vague, which allows people to subconsciously fill in the blanks, so they hear whatever they want to hear.
That thing that I’m afraid of, he is going to solve that once and for all, without fussing about saying things are complicated like the democrats would.
The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt. - Bertrand Russell
Does your life suck? Well, it’s somebody’s fault. And Trump is going to make them pay.
