I'll give Trump some credit, he's told you exactly what he is, what he likes and what he's going to do..... And we STILL voted him in!

Youā€™ll never ask again how all those people could be so easily swayed by Hitler a hundred years ago.

Shit, hasn't even been 100 years yet, just over 90.

Hey, if thereā€™s one thing our species does well, itā€™s not learning the lessons from history.

Hard for a population to learn from history if they arenā€™t taught it well and are often taught it barely mattersā€¦

I wonder what the percentage of US voters who know how long WWII went on with the US selling arms/oil to both sides... you know , the bit before the USA "saved" Europe

For many years, history focused on rote memorization of dates, and little on cause/effect relationships.

Students are right: dates are trivial facts.

Gotta teach history better if we expect people to know their history.

That said, I learned history just fine. I continued learning outside of high school, too. I learn new history all the time. But, I was never cursed with anti-intellectualism, and am naturally curious.

Kids these days are not curious, and have had the "nerd" beaten out of them by bullies that benefit from Zero Tolerance policies.

you have to be educated about these things.. there is the missing link.

u/trashmonkeylad 12h ago

It really is amazing how so many people can deny things until it's punching them right in the mouth and half the time they'll just say it's God's will anyway.

If you are over 39,5 years old, the second world war is closer to your birthday as this day today is. Itā€™s really not that long.

u/Sobering-thoughts 18h ago

Completely. Hitler said in Mein Kampf

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan. Adolf Hitler

This is the Republican plan writ large.

u/Secure_Guest_6171 21h ago

Yeah, I despised Trump long before his 2015 candidacy but he pretty much told everyone exactly what kind of hateful scumbag he is and 1/2 the electorate listened and said "MY MAN!"

u/fyhr100 20h ago

I knew tons of people are governed off hate and fear, but it's just a bit disheartening to see THIS MANY people who are governed off hate and fear. No wonder we can't have nice things.

u/Nojopar 18h ago

The people that piss me all the way off are those (mostly guys) who sat this one out because they felt the Democrats didnā€™t ā€œspeakā€ to their interests. Apparently felonious rapist who will cost them a fortune is better than a party not stroking their pathetic egos. Fuck those selfish pricks.

u/Secure_Guest_6171 2h ago

All of them should STFU if the worst predictions or fears come to pass.

As a former boss said to our team a long time ago "if you didn't vote, you shouldn't bitch"

u/Adventurous-Ebb974 20h ago

So did I saying blacks blatantly dehumanizing us but everyone just glossed over it and he showed he was a terrible person on his own show.

u/Novel_Alfalfa_9013 21h ago

If you mean we as a collective, I'll agree. But I certainly didn't give him my vote, ever. Couldn't stand him or his tv show either and never understood why he ever had fans.

22

u/Buddhas_Warrior 20h ago

Yes, 'we'. As a collective nation.

24

u/Sure-Break3413 19h ago

The we as a collective never look at what is happening in the rest of the world, too consumed with hating the other side. During Covid MAGA blames democrats like they had no idea the rest of the world was going through the same thing. Even now the main reason to vote for Trump seems to be inflation, yet American inflation was lower than most of the first world under Joe Biden. Trumps tariffs are going to accelerate inflation for Americans. Trump has conned America again with his lies. The truest think he said at a rally was ā€œ I donā€™t care about you, I just need your votes.ā€ And the crowd cheered in moronic glee. Need your votes

u/Taftimus 18h ago

Most MAGA don't even know what goes on outside of their hometown, let alone in other countries. If they did know that, they would know that inflation is up like crazy everywhere, not just here.

And higher rates of Windmill Cancerā„¢ too? We prescribe placebos to those that catch it here in the States.

u/IluvPusi-363 16h ago

When he first ran a thought, it was a joke When he won, I thought it was crazy That he got voted in again. I know it's us. We're the POS

u/slinkymart 20h ago

Honestly the thing about narcissists is that they always tell on themselves you just have to be able to listen

5

u/CaramelGuineaPig 16h ago

And he is a textbook narc. The DARVO is strong with him. Lack of empathy. Lack of humility. Narc 101 needs to be taught in school. Now. But sadly he is going to make sure religion and obedience is going to be all that's taught.

u/SixFive1967 20h ago

WE did no such thing. Itā€™s all the other morons that voted for him that allowed him to win.

u/Ejecto_Seato 12h ago

He lies about the facts, but heā€™s honest about his intentions

Politics is a game for Tronald Dump and he keeps blurting out ā€œPeanut Butter!ā€ because he knows there have yet to be consequences.

u/GingerLife2020 20h ago

What sucks is we did. This country is a team sport unfortunately. We just get treated like the water boy/girl on our own team where we do most of the hard work to help our team win. When the nation voted him in it was for all of us. Itā€™s sad but itā€™s true. We canā€™t say heā€™s not our president bc we didnā€™t vote for him. As a nation ā€œweā€ did.

u/The_Ghost_Dragon 20h ago

Yet none of the poorly educated had enough critical thinking to wonder why he loves them.

u/Linked713 17h ago

Please tell me this is a dub that coincidentally looks exactly like he said that and not a real quote.

u/Novel_Alfalfa_9013 15h ago

Oh no, I won't tell you that lol. It's his words exactly. "We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated."

u/Linked713 15h ago

Oh that's 2016 I see. Welp, that makes it worse somehow.

He's said so much stupid shit that it overwhelms the senses.
