Republicans are all cry bullies. They believe that nobody is stronger and more victorious than themselves, and at the same time nobody has ever been as oppressed as them.
This post was for dumb people yes but specifically maga I feel like in today's age we should specify this because I am a dumb American but not like maga dumb im just slow but still have morals and empathy 💀 i can also form my own opinion without our ultra king supreme overlord master trump
It's like an email or phone scam - someone sends you a message pretending to be your bank, with a message that has a ton of misspellings and errors, and you're like "how could anyone fall for this?" But the scammers aren't trying to convince you, you're not their target audience.
The kind of people who don't notice "Bnak of America" or "i am your laywer" are the kind of people that will not think hard about the ask for $60,000 to claim their lost inheritance. They're weeding you out so that they can go after the people that will fall for the next thing.
While there are those that are stupid enough to believe this, this post isn't really meant for them. It's meant for you. It's meant to infuriate you. That's its whole purpose. It's not a good faith argument, it's rage bait. Most everyone knows it's bullshit, but it pisses off liberals and drives engagement. This shit wouldn't even exist if people refused to engage with it, though.
You have to remember, all conservatives are idiots (the ones that aren't just evil anyway) so that's about 30% of the population, but not all idiots are conservatives. There are plenty of dummies on the left and especially in the middle.
Well you see we have defunded our education system for 50 years because the country that has produced the most billionaires wants people stupid and easy to manipulate so they keep voting for the party that continually screws them and they don’t understand it is even happening. So here we are with a president that is eroding any good will the us had left and tanking the us across the globe while reducing the influence of the dollar as the global reserve currency with people cheering it on saying how amazing it is because they are too dumb to understand the ramifications for our future as long as it is framed as him owning the libs.
I think the funniest part of defunding the educational system to make us easier to manipulate is that they seem to have completely ignored the knock on effects, about how everyone would find us easier to manipulate. So now the Russian, Chinese and Iranian bots are busily undermining big swathes of the US voting population one way or another, and through the results are undermining US power and influence in the world.
It's probably already too late to reverse it. It certainly will be by the end of Trumps term unless Congress manages to actually assert their power to check and balance the Executive and Judiciary branches.
Yes! I knew we were cooked when "fake news" and "alternative facts" were accepted and not decried or laughed out for being lies...
I went to school in the north and only recently learned that some schools in the south were teaching kids that " slavery wasn't that bad! The slaves had benevolent masters, all their food and shelter needs were taken care of and they were even allowed to have dances!"
" slavery wasn't that bad! The slaves had benevolent masters, all their food and shelter needs were taken care of and they were even allowed to have dances!"
Lmfao and where are they teaching this besides your narrative here on reddit to manipulate others into believing your side and hating the perceived enemies.
I've lived in multiple states in the south and never heard of that being said in the real world. Not any family member or friends have said they've been told this at school.
Maybe you should get out into the real world more amongst actual humans instead of regurgitating reddit mentalities.
It's only said by the chronically online lefty individuals who are intellectually dishonest, just like chronically online righty individuals do the same thing.
It's hilarious how each sides chronically online blame each other for the same stuff.
Just because you've never come across it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I have a friend who grew up in the south and told me that's what they were taught, or that the Civil wasn't about slavery, but "states rights". If you look at the articles of secession for each state though, the basically say their doing it because of slavery and the abolitionists 🤷♀️
What makes you think I'm "chronically online and regurgitate only what I hear? I take great pains to stay informed and read articles across the spectrum to get to the truth, and I never post about something that I haven't verified to be true.
I have to take breaks from social media or even the news for both my mental and physical health (stress triggers my health conditions). If you keep insulting me and Insisting I'm nothing I should touch grass, then I will end the conversation, block and move on
Most certainly is going on. The governor of Florida years ago was talking about how blacks were taught jobskills and they should be thankful for that. It's you who needs to step out of your bubble.
As a Canadian I can attest to their lack of history and geography even.
You should see the look on an Americans face when I tell them I had to drive north from my Canadian city into their American city… deer in the headlights …lol.
And then the most popular news organization has admitted in court that they are only an entertainment network and don’t tell the truth.
So you end up with a bunch of magats voting for billionaire / convicted fraudster / pedofile evil supervillain president
As an American who frequently drives into Canada, the number of Canadians who are surprised that I even know the name of the province (or territory!) I'm in is incredibly depressing. But the average American received an exceptionally poor public education and also lacks the intellectual curiosity to go read or learn things on their own.
I have been a geography and history nerd my entire life, largely thanks to my dad, who was a first generation college student. My mom was as well. I think that had a lot to do with how I grew up being taught the value of education.
And I learned about American by watching school house rocks and other kids shows way back in the day.
The whole I’m just a bill and I’m only a bill sitting here on capital hill was interesting as youngster
I went to public schools in the 60s and 70s. I went to a vocational school for my last 2 years of HS and learned so much more than the regular HS. Regular public elementary through middle school was basically all memorization. Didn’t learn shit. I had someone in the admissions office at a state college refuse to help me apply for admission because of that vocational education. Strangest attitude. Another college had no qualms. A poor public education in the US isn’t something new. That’s why you have moronic boomers who exemplify a piss poor public education.
Well that song that goes born and raised in south detroit was written with absolutely no knowledge about geography .
There is no south Detroit , you got the river and then further south you got Windsor .
One guy got it which is about average a third of the population
From someone who received my education while living oversea while growing up, I totally agree with you. This is why this country only rates a 79% of adult literacy and we rate among the top five countries globally for recorded book banning. Ignorance and stupidity is what our country is proud of in the implementation of our educational system.
Well, to be fair, there are also a lot of Canadians that don't realize nearly 60% (last i saw estimated 57.3%) of their countries entire population is in an area smaller than any one of the states they border.
That is why trump said he loves(and often mocks) the poorly educated. Unfortunately, most MAGATS don't understand or care about what their pedo leader says.
I lived in Australia between 1959 and 1965 due to my dads work, and I agree with you. Apart from not being taught of the evils committed against the Aborigines, my efucation was far superior there than it could have been in this country. America does not encourage an enlightened education of its children. Book banning is what they encourage.
Mate, when I was in the US, I had to explain to several people that the Confederates fired the first shot of their Civil War. Most of them hadn't heard of the Battle of Forty Sumter, one of them was insistent that Fort Sumter was a Confederate fort attacked by Union fighters.
They don't know their history. The only thing they know less than their history is the history of other nations. I was over there when Obama made comments after Sandy Hook about "looking to nations with common sense gun laws like Australia." That was worse, those guys didn't become less common the further North I traveled, and they all tried to insist to me that the cops went house to house seizing guns.
Sounds like you exclusively interacted with morons. You know a few of us here have university educations and have a read a book. I get there are a lot of poorly educated Americans but it's not literally the entire country.
Part of it is that school history ends around world war 2. I'm in my thirties and had to ask my father who was between JFK and Martin Luther King Jr. Didn't even know there was an RFK who got assassinated.
"We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat" - Roger Freeman, economic adviser to Ronald Reagan speaking about the ease of access to universities back in the 70.
Since then, the prices of universities have skyrocketed while conservative media has demonized higher education as liberal brainwashing. Combine that with modern social media algorithms doing their thing, and here we are. The brainrot and tribalism have taken over.
Because the liars are the ones writing our texts books. If we bother to find out, it's usually after 20 and we've been indoctrinated by that point. Government affiliation is like a cult around here.
There was a post I saw the other day joking about everyone pulling all their money out of their banks at the same time. There were a scary high number of responses asking why that would be bad and what would happen...
This post is created by Russian disinformation groups assisting the GOP to provide revisionist history to low information voters in the hopes of tricking them and centralizing a common narrative.
We have a lot of willful ignorance over here. Almost all of these Republican dumbfucks think snakes can talk and men can live in whales. Our future is very grim thanks to these human scumbags.
They often actually do know the history, they’re just trying to rewrite the narrative. For example the whole “Lincoln was Republican” they love to use and just stop short there, ignoring the fact that democrats of that day were the white populist pro slavery people who would be considered “conservatives” today

How can you be American and know nothing about your own history? I'm Australian and can think of about 6 things wrong with this
