    Wouldn’t have helped. Learning isn’t what Americans do. Americans like finding things to be mad about and then making decisions based on their emotional responses.

    Can’t fix stupid without massively improving the public education system, and stupid Americans just elected the guys that ran on deconstructing the public education system.

    We’re done.

      Your first paragraph isn’t even an exaggeration. The worst part for me about being around conservative relatives and acquaintances is the negativity. They are addicted to anger and outrage and jealousy. They are always complaining about something or talking about things that other people have or how much money they make.

        Yup.

        I’ve never met a conservative that argued in good faith, had actual solutions to problems, or had their priorities straight.

        It’s all about hate and fear. All about making up imaginary scenarios to be mad about to justify persecuting others.

        And now their dream team is in total control. There’s literally no future under these circumstances that ends well.

        We’re in for a long period of decline and it’s going to be rough. Especially on the younger crowd. But hey, they helped give this election to Republicans, so now they get to reap what they sow.
