    make dumb the norm

    That’d be a huge improvement over where we’re at now:

    ^evil is the norm.

    Trump’s 1st victory, sure we could give the benefit of the doubt and blame it on a combination of stupidity and shit like the electoral college. But then we all saw 4 years of him attacking our country from the oval office, and another 4 years of hearing his Nazi rhetoric… and people fucking it. It isn’t just stupid… those 74 million voters have eyes and ears, and weren’t born the day before the election - they knew exactly what they were voting for. Trump’s message of harming thy neighbor resonates with the average voter.

    …if humanity were just stupid but not evil, that’d be a borderline utopia compared to what we’re about to plunge into.

      And yet a ton of people apparently only found out that Biden wasn’t running when his name wasn’t on the ballot.
