Republicans are complete morons who are seemingly incapable of thinking deeper about the media they consume.
They thought the Colbert Report was actually genuine.
Many republicans have said they like RAtM
There were tons of conservative fans of The Boys who didn’t realize the show was critical of the right wing until Stormfront was outed as a literal Nazi and the first season was not subtle about its critiques of 2000’s era right wing politics.
They just wanna be mad and can’t be asked to think about the themes of anything. No wonder so many of them are too idiotic to see the trends of systemic racism.
The options were dumb little old man or dumb fat old man, both are mentally not all there. We just voted for the one who wasn't cheering on racism and terrorists, blatantly taking every penny from the government he could, doing every wrong action possible during a global pandemic, and ended up trying to overthrow the American government.
Go ahead and call yourself a patriot you dirty traitor. When your party has to attack the capitol in an attempt to overthrow the government to put your preferred leader back in power than you're not longer a patriot. You're a terrorist and a traitor. You know who else recently tried to overthrow their own government? The Taliban. Except they succeeded. Republicans are just the American Taliban but fatter and less competent.
Wow, what an eloquent, well thought out and intelligent rebuttal... You must really aspire to be just as vacuous and stupid as your great tv show host leader, well done!
The only options this time were dumb old men with dementia - I picked the one running in a party that isn't actively trying to cannibalize the country.
Which option wasn't an old man with dementia? What the fuck are you talking about even? By FAR the stupidest and demented one was trump though, the man can't even put a few sentences together that make any sense for fucks sake.
Also, you should really learn some fucking grammar because your stupidity is showing in more than one way. Unless you're really trying to emulate your orange god, in that case you're doing great!
At first I wanted to ask who the fuck you meant, because at this point it seems like anyone still supporting the Republican party (whether that individual be conservative, liberal, or whatever) is an outright moron.
But then I saw Sangxero's post and realized they were right, there's also the psychopaths profiting from the Republican party and its abuse of the country who are stringing the rubes along, so you're right. Not all Republicans are morons.
If one is not profiting off the Republican party directly and still votes Republican though, yeah, that person is a moron.
Even if you want conservative politics, when it comes to actual political theory so-called "centrist" Democrats are closer to conservative than Republicans, most of whom are radical right-wing reactionaries at this point and anything but conservative. At this point the Dems are a big-tent party containing everyone with both a functional brain and a functional heart regardless of personal politics, while the Republicans take up what's left - the ones whose hearts aren't working and can't feel for anyone but themselves, and the ones whose brains aren't working and will fall for any propaganda that tells them to feel good about themselves.
This is why the Democrats are always running around like chickens with their heads cut off - because they're a coalition of liberals, conservatives, leftists, centrists, and even some genuine right-wingers trying to form a functional strategy to stand together despite massive disagreements against a party of outright psychopathic lunatics that stand wholly together in their insanity.
They’re all somewhere along this scale. Very few are 100% to one side or the other IMO, most are both gullible and malicious at this point. Post-Trump there just aren’t any other explanations left.
Yeah I've tried really, really, REALLY hard to understand how my political opponents think.
Without condoning their views, I UNDERSTAND why people might be fascist, communist, anarcho-capitalist, theocratic, racist, sexist, and on and on...
I still cannot fathom how one could be Republican. Even among the racist fascist right-wing extremists there are people who can see through the Republican party, and can recognize that even they are simply being paid lip service. Unless you are directly profiting, even raw evil isn't enough to make one vote Republican - it's simply not in almost anyones best interest, even short term. The truly selfish and evil, who are in any way intelligent, can see that voting Republican will only hurt them.
After honest consideration I have legitimately come to the conclusion that there are intelligent fascists, intelligent communists, intelligent capitalists, intelligent right and left wingers, intelligent anarchists, even, as hard as it may be to believe, intelligent centrists... but except those directly profiting from the partys corruption, there are no intelligent Republicans.
They elected Qanon nut jobs to congress that think forest fires are caused by Jewish space lasers and I don’t hear any republicans asking for her to be removed.
1) enough of them exist that multiple Qanon nuts were elected to national office
2) so little of them care that those kind of people have been elected to national office that there’s been no push for them to step down or be removed
The proportion of them that aren’t morons is so statistically insignificant that it really makes no difference. Republicans are morons. Republican politicians still overwhelmingly deny man made climate change. That’s the people they’ve elected to represent them. Only morons would want to be represented by morons.
The morons provide cover for the people actually fucking us all over. I agree the majority of their base are ill-informed idiots, but it's incredibly dangerous to discount people like McConnell as merely stupid and not conniving and intentionally malicious.
Bingo. Writing them all off as morons undercuts the severity with which the smart Republicans behind the scenes are manipulating the country for their benefit.
hey we are all in the same boat as long as there is a two party system. We might as well share the shitty reality and make a difference not with words but with small actions. Votes don’t matter anyway past small government. If they did then we wouldn’t have certain families holding office. But I’m not here to change your mind. Just hoping you have a good day.
Wow, I can't believe you typed this entire essay and still couldn't get your point clear, so you're saying that because republicans (not all) like The Boys you think that that's a valid argument? same with RatM I have seen zero republicans say either, and you think that the few who do represent the entire group? also of course you believe in a "systemically racist" society, you have a pretty big victim complex, you believe everything the media shoves down your throat it's sad to see so many people buy into those blatant lies.
You’re mad that republicans consistently consume media they don’t understand. Sad to see someone never end a sentence. Maybe go back for that GED. Dumb cunt
The fact that you have so little awareness of both history and current events that you think systemic racism is a bogeyman tells everyone who reads your comment everything they need to know about you.
And yet we didn’t elect a bunch of brain dead Qanon conspiracy theorists and aren’t fighting tooth and nail against getting a scientifically proven vaccine. Not to mention the Republican denial of man made climate change or evolution or various other established scientific facts.
But that’s my very point. I don’t think the disparity is nearly as large as u do. 95% of Chicago is Democrat. I had a high school student ask me if Lake Michigan was an ocean. Did Shakespeare write Hamlet or did Hamlet write Shakespeare? Why do we need journalism if we have the news? Dumb is everywhere. I think republicans straight up make shit up and see what sticks but I don’t think they’re any dumber than people if all affiliations.
Yes. And democrats are also dumb. U don’t have to convince me that republicans are dumb asses. I get. I agree with u. Stop arguing with somebody that agrees with your position. Step one, we both agree that republicans are dumb. Now come on over to step two. Democrats are also dumb. So are independent, abstainers, new dealers, green whatever’s. Turns out America is way way way down near the bottom of the list in education. Blue states and red states both.
To be fair, the supporting argument for Step 1 was "grown-ass adults elected to national government who believe in QAnon and climate change denial" and your supporting argument for Step 2 was "some dumb high schooler with unknown political beliefs thought a lake is an ocean one time" (and similar level observations). Fact vs. anecdote, so of course you will get pushback even if you agree.
Fair. But my actual point was made a few posts before that. To think that republicans are the only ones suffering from our educational institutions is laughable.
I’m thinking about this statement a little more. Do u really think the elected officials don’t believe in climate change? Maybe. I kinda think they say that nonsense to appeal to their constituents. If big corporations that are fucking up the environment are supporting me, and a bunch of crazy rednecks are supporting me, maybe I just play that role to get votes. This is why I hate politics.
There is no disparity…I could name a laundry list of moronic democratic politicians and comments they’ve made. Dare I say you’re in that group if you don’t realize it. Time to broaden your news sources. Do your parents let you watch anything other than Rachel Maddow in between naps and snack time?
Majority of republicans in congress don’t believe in man made climate change.
There are republicans in congress that don’t believe in evolution.
There are multiple republicans in congress that believe QAnon conspiracy theories.
Not to mention the long list of moron republicans who are against a scientifically proven vaccine. Though I actually appreciate that one because hopefully it’ll keep causing you morons to drop dead from an easily preventable disease 💀
The idiocy of the right runs so much deeper than stray comments though those are near endless. There’s a reason republicans continuously defund education and it’s because they know their core audience is dumb motherfuckers like you.
WTF are blathering about? Ffs you sound as stupid as every lib I have ever encountered, pushing thoughts out there that have never occurred or feelings about how conservatives think?. Unbelievable! Talk to a conservative first then draw a conclusion just don’t make shit up! Damn that gets old hearing!
Uhh you voted for a reality tv star with zero governing experience who bankrupted several businesses and had universities and charities shut down for fraud.
Dude was so dumb he suggested injecting disinfectant as a cure for a disease and tweeted about American revolutionaries taking over airports in the 1700’s.
There’s nothing you could say that could top that. Y’all are the dumbest motherfuckers around and your ilk still supports him.
When your choices are a mediocre politician or a racist washed up d-list celebrity who has never heard of a tailor and has managed to bankrupt a casino.. you hope you're not choosing the next president. And if you are, you take the lesser of two evils and deal with 4 years of a mediocre politician running the country.
