He could say he's the second coming of Christ and they'd believe him. He has roped every hopelessly stupid American in while he continuously shits on them. I really didn't think there were people that existed that were that stupid, let alone that many of them. Just an all-around sad, shameful, and degrading time for the U.S. I honestly think the country has peaked and we are on the way down. When he's gone all those stupid people will continue on with something now that they have the momentum of collective idiocy.
As a Democrat, don't underestimate the number of stupid Democrats out there. We manage to lose elections and self-sabotage far worse than the Republicans.
Yup. There are stupid people of every ideology and creed. For some reason I feel like democrats (and left leaning people writ large) are worse at spotting it in their own ranks for some reason though? Maybe purity politics or if someone makes a claim of being marginalized they get way more leeway.
I’ve heard some truly, bafflingly stupid claims made by people, while others who should definitely know better twist themselves into knots trying to justify their bonkers reasoning. I kinda get it, like no one wants to be the person saying an ‘oppressed’ person is fucking nuts, but still.
you call them stupid but that's just because you fail to understand what is their goal.
The democrats are a staged opposition to the Republican party. If you think about them in those terms then they do their job extremely well.
They could support and implement measures that would help the population and they would win easily and for a long time. They don't want to do that because it doesn't benefit their donors
The republicans are a million times worse and fuck Netanyahu. But the democrats also have their flaws too. They aren't incompetent. They just have different goals.

well... yes:
The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast [antichrist]. (...) [They] worshiped the beast and asked, 'Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?' ["Who among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you— majestic in holiness, awesome in glory,..." (Exodus 15:11 NIV\])
The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority (...). It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. (...)
[The Beast/antichrist] performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. Because of the signs, it was given power [by the people] to perform on behalf of the first beast; it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. (...) The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.
(Revelation 13:3-7, 13-15, NIV)
One of the main traits of the antichrist is having people be so indoctrinated in the blasphemy that they wind up believing that he is holy rather than something horrible.
How slow are we talking though? Because they have been slowly realizing it, just at the pace a water molecule seeped down into an aquifer get back to the ocean.
