America may be ignorant but the majority certainly doesn’t want this.
What American middle-class wants versus what they're willing to actually DO about it might as well be on opposite sides of the solar system.
Sites like this have the most informed people with the most thought-out positions and understand what's at stake and most people here still aren't willing to organize or mobilize or even ally with people slightly less left of themselves.
Most people are still too comfortable, too poor, too scared, struggling too hard or too caught up in their own lives to want to break anything or rock the boat. Until it's too late.
49.8% voted for this, more than any other option. 0.5% voted for RFK Jr so it's highly likely that over 50% of people who felt bothered to actually vote seemed to be ok with it.
I suppose you could say they were misinformed, but people were pretty loud about it...
Am I the only person who remembers Trump all but admitting on national television that Musk rigged the voting machines in his favor?
And then all the highly irregular ballots that appeared that are, and I quote, "consistent with vote manipulation" as per the neutral third party assigned to investigate?
And then nobody investigated it at all because we "couldn't be taken seriously about it" because of the huge Stop The Steal right wing uproar the prior election.
Don't trust those reported numbers, they are almost certainly fabricated.
The majority never voted for the Nazi party either. It doesn't matter. If they don't rise up against fascism, that's enough for the fascist to win.
A lot of people were saying that the last election was the choice between democracy and fascism - and still enough people either didn't know or didn't care.
I'm afraid that the erosion of the education system did what it was designed to do: produced enough uneducated people to allow propaganda to break democracy.
Agreed.
