    Sometimes I can’t believe some Americans are really this stupid, then users like yourself remind me they’re even stupider.

            I’m ambivalent. While it’s hard to believe Americans are this stupid, I lived in the US for a time and met several with this caliber of intelligence.

              People believe what they want to believe and what they are told to believe.

              The Trump administration have all since figured out that if you repeat your lies over and over eventually people believe it for the truth. Honestly it started with Bush in 2000 and was the culmination of decades of conservative conditioning starting with Reagan.

              While I understand that some people are frustrated by those in power and their unwillingness to help tue common working class, they don’t have the mental capacity, desire to understand, or vocabulary to express their frustrations. They can only parrot the garbage they see on Fox News that currently has them riled up about the “gov’mint bad” narrative.

      Same way I feel about you, the only difference is we are the majority and you are not. Democracy is amazing!

        Mate, I’m not an American. Plus your lot isn’t even the majority in your country. Do you need a non-American to explain how your voting system works, or is it the complex addition and subtraction that’s confusing you?

        Maybe try not sniffing glue before responding next time?

          It might be beneficial for you to seek support, as engaging with these posts seems to be causing significant frustration. It’s important to approach discussions with a clear and constructive perspective, as repeatedly responding without presenting well-supported points can detract from meaningful dialogue.
