    And before anyone wants to add their blame trump for everything bs and say that’s what you get for voting for Donald J. Trump I know what trump said he said the tariffs would be on china New Mexico and Canada not on American citizens.

    Not only do they not know what a tariff is, they think the 47th state is a foreign country, which does not surprise me, trump does too.

      Funnily enough, the area that is currently known as New Mexico has been called New Mexico for longer than the area currently called Mexico has been called Mexico. So New Mexico is actually Old Mexico. That’s probably not the source of their confusion, but it is a fun fact.

      Though it can be hard to do so, I try to remind myself that a lot of these people simply lack the intellectual self defense or cultural opportunities to not be duped by targeted propaganda. The school system and many poor parents failed to instill critical thinking for many people. Unfortunately we all suffer for those failings, but I try to temper my anger.

      The ones who had every opportunity to learn better, but actively chose to be what they are, those ones just suck straight up.

        They voted for someone who brags about raping and lying. Empathy isn’t there for them

          While many voted for him because of that, and are awful people because of it, some didn’t have the critical thinking skills to realize that fox is lying to them when they say those allegations aren’t real. They were suckered into a cult not terribly different from a religious one, such as Scientology or Mormonism.

          Their actions have a global impact, unlike most cults, so we curse them instead of pity them, but they were gullible fools all the same, the only difference is the scale of suffering and power their cult leader wields.

            I can’t muster any empathy regardless. They fucked us all. Putting them won’t help

        They voted for someone who acknowledged their struggle. It’s why so many voted for AOC down ballot.

        The people who don’t understand that are the ones that are being duped. Let’s hope there’s enough runway left for them to learn.

          We don’t have to accept willful ignorance. Everyone has all this data at their fingertips and they CHOOSE not to use it. They don’t get a pass, fuck them.

            ignore the working class at your own peril.

            self proclaimed smart people currently in the finding out phase concerns me less that the fact they had to drag everyone along for the ride.

          AOC represents one House district in one part of New York City. Very few ever have voted for her outside of that district.
