    This is our government. This is our government because people voted for these people over other people. People chose this over other options.

    Which is why I freely tell people I’m surrounded by morons. Morons everywhere in this country. All around.

    So people reply to that with “have you ever considered that YOU’RE the common denominator? All of society can’t be all wrong!”.

    When they say that I just say “Thanks for self identifying as part of the moron herd.”

    Because yes, if one person is wrong, and everybody plays follow the leader, then EVERYBODY is wrong together.

    Right now, roughly 52% of the country is wrong together, but I’d say closer to 90% of the country are just in general morons.

      You’re in a room with no windows and ten clocks.

      Three of the clocks say 5:30 AM. Three of the clocks say 12:15 PM. Three of the clocks say 9:43 PM. One clock says 31:92 OM.

      What time is it?

      I don’t know, but it’s not fucking 31:92 OM.

        I needed to scroll 1 line to see the punchlinene. In the time after I saw 31:91OM, but before I saw the punchline, is it bad that my first instinct was to hold my phone upside down to see if I could solve the riddle by seeing something hidden in plain sight?

            pulls out whiteboard

            And WO stands for “We Overthrow”.

            The Z here is the last letter in the alphabet, or the end , which is in reference to the end of the liberal democrats when we rise up on Jan 6 and overthrow them.

            circles 6 aggressively

            And IE means Internet Explorer, obviously, which is what we force our enemies to use every day from now on. Truly a fate worse than hell.

      Just saw a recent post about a study into American literacy rates.

      54% of American adults have a reading comprehension level of a 5th grader or worse.

      Last time I made a post stating that I was surrounded by idiot morons, it got massively downvoted with a whole bunch of people claiming I was acting like a pretentious asshole.

      Naw. I’ve got two college degrees. Worked for huge corpos in the past as a software engineer, data analyst, db admin.

      Average American adult is functionally illiterate.

      Many of us are objectively surrounded by morons.

        Having a kid in first grade I’m reminded of how awful our language is. Spelling and pronunciation is seemingly random, articles everywhere, nobody knows how to use semicolons outside of programming, few know how to properly quote things, but least our words don’t have genders.

          My kids are in a Chinese dual immersion program. I will never complain about English’s foibles ever again. Holy shit is that a terribly inefficient language. Thousands of years of civilization and they’re still doing pictograms. I can’t even imagine writing a program in Chinese. I’m not sure it would be possible.

            Yep, I’m sure at least a few were demotivated by claims of “they’re the same!” Or the hyperbolic brow beating of those chanting “genocide Joe/Harris” or "blue maga ". What we needed is solidarity. But the left is only good at dividing itself.

      This was nothing more than a ham-fisted way to get to reiterate that she thinks Biden stole the 2020 election. She is stupid, but she doesn’t actually think the earth is flat, and she takes the UAP situation seriously

    “Now that we have all been cautioned in this committee hearing that the mention of Pentagon’s Immaculate Constellation program could put us on a list,” Boebert said. “Well, I already find myself on many lists, I’m sure, as I speak my mind often. So why not just keep going with it?”

    “May as well just go all out and say it. The Earth is flat, birds are government drones, and we’ve never set foot on the moon, and Joe Biden received 81 million votes in the 2020 election,” she continued.

    “So, let’s just see how many lists we could get on here today.”

        Or (and I realize I’m playing devil’s advocate here, but…) maybe she was being sarcastic about all of them? The fact that she referenced the outcome of the 2020 election (the number of votes Biden actually got) along with “the earth is flat” and “birds aren’t real” makes me think she doesn’t believe any of them and this is just bait.

          She was being sarcastic in the sense she thinks they’re all false. This includes the factual statement that Biden received 81 million votes.

      I hate to defend her, but there was no tirade about flat Earth.

      “May as well just go all out and say it. The Earth is flat, birds are government drones, and we’ve never set foot on the moon, and Joe Biden received 81 million votes in the 2020 election,”

      Basically she was being facetious. If that last statement about Biden wasn’t there, I might have been convinced she believed these things, but she’s equating those statements with the “lie” that Biden got more votes than Trump in 2020.
