    personally, this cycle the best thing i have under my belt is karma.

    I hope republicans/conservatives have to learn their lesson the hard way around.

      Narrator: unfortunately, they won’t as they are unable to correlate their struggles and hardships with their choices. This is another evidence of the planned degradation of education in the USA that creates a large number of uneducated voters who can be manipulated for votes

      I hope so, but given that we already know drumph will do a terrible job from… IDK, four years ago?

      … I think that it’s likely that this lesson will ever be learned.

      In the most simplest, all I want is for people to look at the platforms and what each party wants to achieve before putting a mark beside their name at the voting booth. That’s it.

      If you can, with good conscience, vote for someone, knowing what they want to do for the people, then you deserve whatever they do if they win. If you vote without knowing what their plan is, that doesn’t absolve you, in fact, you’re probably more guilty than if you knew what you were voting for.

      You are banking on people who have likely never picked up and read a single book after high school, and who likely read at a fifth grade level or less, to learn?

      Especially when they have proven themselves to be such gullible rubes and suckers, uncritically swallowing everything the alt-right says like a herd of sheeple?

      Buddy… you sound as reality-avoidant as they are.

        hunger is a very strong motivator, what can i say.

          And these people will gladly “starve to death”, either to “own the libs” or because they have bought so deeply into the lies and propaganda that it has become a critical part of their being and the cognitive dissonance of trying to learn the truth would be more painful than said starvation.

          Fact-free ideology is one hell of a powerful drug.

            what can i say, i revel in the suffering of others, brought upon themselves. Maybe it’ll knock some sense into some of them, knock a few others off of the map like covid, and throw a few into the deep end.

            These things need to continue spiraling, and they can’t spiral forever, it has to stop somewhere. At the bottom most likely. Where i will be waiting, smugly.
