Y'all seen those T-shirts that say "I'd rather be a Russian than a Democrat!"? I always think "Okay! Great! MOVE THERE, THEN!"
Considering how often these Denizens of Derp Dynasty list the threat of "communism" as the reason Democrats are so icky, advertising their preference for Russia - the actual poster child of murderous communist regimes - just illustrates so, SO clearly that either one or both of the following is true: 1) They are not thinking this through by a long shot, and/or 2) their gripes are not actually about the dangers of any economic philosophy and more simply about the presence of non-white people. Hmmm...
They are responding to the "socialist" dog whistle and cannot distinguish between socialism and communism, or between legitimate protest and a seditious insurrection to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. Plus, they are racist as heck.
I often wonder how many MAGAтАЩs suffered with learning disabilityтАЩs all thru their public education and now seeth with vengeance (for having never felt smart enough) at the тАЬlibrulтАЭ elites. It really seems they need an enemy to direct their angst towards. Mind blowing they would align with Putin just to hate on being informed with truth.
That meme of those two old geezers in those t-shirts reminded me that only 32 years ago these same guys were probably ranting about 'Reds, Commies, Pinkos' and probably spent a week chest pounding and bumping that the USSR was crumbling! But now they are good with them? They like an authoritarian Strongman and his Oligarchs better?
It has been my daily mantra since 2016. How someone who made fun of a person with a disability became president of the United States of America stunned. Then received so many votes the second time. Knowing that there is so much willful ignorance in a country that so many around the world see as shocking for the adoration of a dangerous con artist is constantly playing somewhere in the windmill of my mind. What happened? Have there always been this many angry, resentful, hate-filled Americans? Even more complacent Americans? Is this a reason there are so many mass shootings in America? Why American children have to learn to hide from possible slaughter? How someone from Texas (Cruz) representing his constituency can say publicly that there just needs to be more police in American schools and no one questions this??? WTF. I could not 'adjust' to it. I had to leave.
Agreed. "Don't confuse me with facts; my mind is made up". (Note, punctuation mine; never theirs because they have no command of proper usage and grammar)
This `too many Americans don't seem to know or care' is the tragic motherlode.

Indeed. That has been the real horror story for me personally.
I'm adjusting to that knowledge now, finally, but at first it was utterly nightmarish to realize.

Yep. And you can say that about almost anything.
