But it was close, proving once again that around the world about half the population is literally insane. How braindead must they be to vote for Bolsonaro or Trump. I’m telling you, most humans are barely more than rabid animals.

    Humans ARE animals. We have similar survival instincts. We're just smart and can talk, build planes, grow food, etc.

    Eh we're pretty smart. Not that much but we're the smartest thing known to us.

    Only some of us can. The rest take credit as if they could match the exceptional humans who drag this species forward. I'm not including myself as exceptional.

    Most people want a strong man to fix all their problems for them because the actual work nessisary to enact change is difficult.

    People have always looked to a leader to tell them he will fix all their problems and can be trusted with power. And time and time again they have been proven to be false.

    I can sort of understand the instinct for a strong leader peddling simplistic solutions.

    I can't fathom listening to the likes of the pooper-in-chief and thinking "Oh, yeah, that's a strong guy." But obviously, some people do.

    "most humans are barely more than rabid animals."

    Ironically sounds like something a fascist would say and ironically if this is true then we DO need strong authoritarian leadership to control and counteract the base inclinations of the rabid masses.
