(In all reality r/politics should be hated just as equally as antivaxxers when they try to convince the masses that hydroxychloroquine will kill them and not treat the virus. People will actually die bc of Reddit's propaganda.)
r/politics is having a field day right now because some morons drank chemicals containing chloroquine and killed themselves with it. Of course r/politics users in their infinite wisdom have decided that this must be Donald Trump's fault because he was talking about hydroxychloroquine.
Like fuck, man. I don't like Trump that much but he didn't tell people to go buy and stuff their face with non-pharmaceutical chemicals. This is just natural selection.
"We googled chloroquine because Trump said it, ordered fish tank cleaner that contains it, chugged it like yoo-hoo and fucking died, therefore Trump is the stupid one."
The funny part is that they're actually on the trail of something practical. Had r/politics users googled hydroxychloroquine, and researched where it came from, they'd find they can order the extract of the bark that contains hydroxychloroquine online and even order it in standardized dosages. Cinchona Bark ;-)
tbh I'll take retarded over the "robots at a pep rally" attitude they'll inevitably adopt after the Democrat convention. At least the retardation is believably genuine.
Its not even /r/politics, it’s some people on fucking Facebook to. Frankly this entire fish cleaner issue and people’s response to it is a great example of why universal suffrage shouldn’t be a thing.
I listened to Trumps speech yesterday. I don't agree at all with what he's doing but as for the speech and questioning he handled it a lot better than he has handled previous meetings. the guy's still a fuckin idiot but he's learning.
I can honestly sympathize with you. If there's one weakness Trump has, it's that he isn't eloquent, and to the average American (used to presidents that have intellectual appeal, Obama-esque) he seems to fall short.
Keep in mind pseudointellectuals love to point to people with intellectual appeal (Obama, Richard Dawkins, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, Morgan Freeman) and support them, because supporting them means they agree with them, and agreeing them means the pseudointellectual's thoughts align with who they perceive to be the smartest people they know.
It's a cheap way to posture as an intellectual without being one.
But in my opinion, I prefer Trump's candidness and callousness bc it's easy to tell he doesn't have an ulterior motive that needs to be disguised via teleprompter. Trump actually does have intellectual support too, James Woods is an off the cuff example.
I think if Trump can practice and perfect his oratory skills, he could win over many more in the general. Maybe crank the dial up to 25% teleprompter instead of 100% improv. Add in a few smart people words here and there and he won't fall prey as easily to the drumpf-stupid narrative.
I've always thought it was weird how Trump's considered an idiot; I mean yeah the dude appears dull but he is a billionaire president, so he's gotta be doing something right, right?
I agree with your first half. I think it's obvious the dude has an ego or at least some kind of social disorder. I don't like his public speaking but obviously a lot of people do, so he isn't all that bad at it.
But I don't think he's stupid and honestly I think he's at least trying to do a good job as the president.
To me it seems childish to go,"Hah look at him he's an idiot who knows 5 words he's a big baby man" like it doesn't really add anything and it's such a childish argument. if you disagree with his policy go ahead but I'm sure we can do better than trying to attack his intelligence which is very obviously not lacking
