A small business owner who voted for Donald Trump recently posted a video on TikTok, pleading for help as crushing tariffs on China threatened to bankrupt his operation, which imports alloy wheels. His call for support, however, drew little sympathy from some fellow Americans.
“Votes have consequences,” he was told, with many comments from Twitter/X users relishing the notion that another MAGA voter was suffering because of their political choice. The backlash prompted a second video from the man, in which he dropped several F-bombs while criticizing the apparent heartlessness of those celebrating his hardship.
“Stupidity” is a powerless hypothesis, intended not to explain, but to terminate thought.
Edit: way to prove my point.
So, nothing was ever done by stupid people for no other reason than they’re stupid?
The hypothesis being that they are simply not smart enough to understand that when a demented rapist felon traitor tells you more lies, they’re lying. The explanation is because they’re stupid.
Or, Republicans are fucking stupid.
Porque no los dos, imho.
You’re right. They’re stupid AND evil.
Bonhoeffer is the guy to read on stupidity & fascism.
