    Umm, I mean if you’re mentally disabled, yeah you might vote for the guy that you know is lying to you, in hopes of getting a check you know he won’t send out, because he’s lying to you…

    I know at least 1/3rd of Americans are funtionally retarded, but I would hope they could at least learn from classic conditioning

      It doesn’t have anything to do with being smart or dumb or being fooled by scam artists and everything to do with wanting to burn everything down because you are suffocating.

      You are a fool for missing that, just like every other neoliberal “good cop” offering scraps backhandedly that yes while technically better than what the “bad cop” is offering is still existentially not enough and will come far too slowly to matter.

        No, you’re wrong. If someone chooses to continue believing a known liar when they are telling yet another obvious lie, that person is a fool regardless of political association. There is no good, or bad cop. Just a liar.
