[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago (3 children) citizens are fucking idiots Ok. that's not an unfair generalization to make. Sure and you're not a bigot. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (2 children) I mean sure, downvote me for pointing out the obvious. The Law of Large Numbers is an actual thing. It's why we can get accurate poll results while only polling ~1000 people. And the more you get, the smaller the margin of error becomes. We had about 65% turnout last election. At that level, the margin of error is essentially zero. Trump won the popular vote. That last 35% wouldn't have changed anything. Our problem isn't that we have a vocal minority terrorizing the majority. Its the majority that's a problem. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (1 child) The problem I have with you is your bigotry. Which is why I succinctly said that. You didn't need to write so much, we all get it, you hate Americans. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago My country spent decades pretending it was the greatest to ever exist while it's citizens embraced ignorance and stupidity until we reached the point we're at now. Over half the population are people who should never be trusted with a decision. Oh, they're not evil, they're just dangerously gullible idiots. And it's the decisions those dangerously gullible idiots have made that might wind up killing us all. So yes, I hate Americans in the same way someone who grows up in a racist family hates their own family. Because there are only two options when you grow up with these dumbasses: you either hate them, or become a dumbass yourself. permalink fedilink source parent
