Beep boop. I am robot… beep boop I have no emotion.

ITT: the 30 some odd people who that have transcended human desire.

I really can’t tell. Did I flush the trump supporters out with this post? Are people so offended that a beautiful person could be a NAZI? Or am I just too blunt and to admit I don’t go around imagining everyone is morally upright really makes people uncomfortable. Aka I’m an ass. Let me know cause I’ve said some dumb shit but this one hit a nerve.

Interesting article

    Um, excuse me…

    Since when does beauty have anything to do with political opinion?

    And since when does political opinion have anything in particular to do with showerthoughts?

      Just a thought. It’s true for me. Just going plain statistics. The fact that Trump is still in this race has left a disgusting taste in my mouth that concerns about 1/3 the population. It’s just weird to have such a solid number of these people self identifying.

          Plain statistics. For every ugly MF there should be some privileged idiot with every advantage. 100 million people. Think about it.

          Edit: sorry, didn’t mean to hurt anyone’s ego.

            You should delete this post fam. You have some personal issues you’re projecting on strangers. Probably not very healthy in the long run and seeking validation from us retards on Lemmy most certainly won’t help you in any form.

              Nah, I’m good. Chose a person and random. There is 1/3 chance they are a fascist. Does that not wound you?

              Edit: or are you saying I should be stoic and not be envious in any situation despite my nature. Well I’m telling you I’m not because these are shallow pools.

                For the record, the number of die hard MAGAs is smaller than that, it’s just a subset of the gop. Then consider that a lot of MAGAs are duped into just thinking “oh, he jokes a lot, but he’s a businessman so he’ll do a good job!”

                So the number of actual outright fascists is going to be pretty small when we weed out the people that just fall for their promises and lies. We need to distinguish between a fascist and a fool.

                Quit your envy of others and just vote mate. If your stats are correct, yould still beat them 2 to 1.

                No. I dont give a shit. Just like I dont care about starving kids in Africa. Its both unnecessary and pointless. Most women aren’t fascists and most dudes are fat and lazy. I’m not competing with any of them.

            You can’t just say the word “Statistics” in an argument without actually citing a study. It’s not some magic Win Argument button.

        Just going plain statistics

        And completely ignoring demographics.

        First, a lot of people didn’t vote, period.

        Second, support differs drastically by state. Let’s pretend we’re in 2020, right after the election. Are you in California? If so, a randomly chosen eligible voter has an 88% of having registered to vote. And a registered voter had an 81% chance of having voted. So 29% of people didn’t even vote. If they voted, they had a 34% chance of having voted for Trump. So that’s already reduced the overall chance that an eligible voter voted for Trump to 24%. But if they were younger than 30, that drops from 34% to 25% (overall: 18%). (Under 40? 29% (21%).) Or if they’re Black, Latino, or Asian? 21% (15%).

        So if a 20-something Latino caught your eye, then there’s only a 17% chance he, she, or they voted for Trump. (And if you use different pronouns, there’s very little chance you voted for Trump.)

        On the other hand, if you’re only into older white people (50+) who’ve been doing better while Trump was president, and you hold that not voting or voting third party is the same as voting for Trump (only a Sith deals in absolutes) then there’s a 61% chance he or she voted for Trump.

        At least, I think that’s how those probabilities get combined.

          I’m not sure not voting is much better.

          Thanks for working this out, tho. Wish I was in California.

          BTW its not really about sexual desire, used the phrase caught your eye. It’s about disposition. I know every ITT are paragons of society but some of us, as hard and shameful it is to admit, are just scraping by. I apologize again because that last sentence was dripping with sarcasm and you’ve done nothing to provoke it.
