what the fuck happened to my country and the world!
It's a rise of celebrated ignorance. These people are stupid and proud of it.
Propaganda utilized to entrench the worst scum imaginable representing the ownership class.
It's always about money and power.
The ownership class is so short-sighted. What use is an adult crippled with brain damage or paralysis brought on in childhood if they're practically incapable of jumping in as meat for the grinder?
I imagine it's something like "there are 8 billion of these cockroaches and we're working on eliminating the need for their labor so what's a few hundred million broken eggs?"
Obama's election broke brains on the right; Trump and the pandemic made their position intractable.
I just can't fanthom how anyone. anyone. can be a republican at this point. even the libertarians are tainted. they seriously need to do a wig and find a new party that goes back to what conservatism really means with lincoln and teddy roosevelt as the influences under a new untarnished name. If they did and got away from coroporate america then they would be real competition to the democrats.
Idiocracy
This is still unusual enough that it makes it into international news.
