I suppose those who are still here have wondered where I've been. Well a few weeks ago I was full of fire and brimstone ready to start cataloging all of the MAGA voters who FAFO. But then a friend of mine gave me this gook "The Psychology of Stupidity". I was an enthusiastic reader, but the more I read the more I realized that myself and everyone who has followed this site already has encountered everything in this book. The books chapters are written by different psyhcologists and basically they each catalog and discuss the types and extent of stupidity in humans. I promise, if you read even 1/10th of the stories of stupid antivaxxers on here then you know everything in this book already but these authors are just really good at articulating just how stupid stupid people really are. But the thing that got me about this book is that it offered no hope. It basically says over and over that you can't use reason and logic to convince a stupid person of anything. This really depressed me. Maid me feel like everything I did on this blog was worthless. And honestly, how many stupid anitvaxxers read these stories and learned anything? Hell, most of the people on here thought they were right all the way to their death. They are so stupid they'd rather die of covid than sick sying of the vaccine!
So since my last post I've been curled up in ball on my bed sucking my thumb while America crumbles more each passing day. The country is being run by stupid people for stupid people. I like most reaonable people simply gave up. How can we possibly go to battle to convince people to fight for the AMERICA that became great after WWII and became the symbol and aspiration of the world when they just want to live in some kind of existence that's seems to be America in the late 1800s early 1900s but without all of the immigrants headed here. Actually, I can't figure out what era they want America to be like AGAIN.
But then recently I started seeing a lot of major billionaire backers turning on Trump, and now Fox news seems to be stepping over the Trump wall to tell the truth on things like Trump's first 100 days is the worst ever. Ah, so then I started thinking about how MAGA's allegence to Trump and the MAGA movement is not unlike how people feel about their sports teams. When happy with their team they only talk bad about their rival teams and accept every and all bad rumors and even falsehoods about their hated rival teams. However, when their team really starts losing over and over they turn on their Head Coach and want him fired. I think we are on this path now.
The damage from the tarrifs haven't really kicked in yet. The economic situation is like the sinking of the Titantic. We've hit the iceberg and we're sinking but the boat is till afloat. And like the titantic most of the MAGA people are mostly the third class people stuck on the lower decks without any lifeboats. The first cycle of shipments reflecting the tarrifs will arrive or not starting in late May. At that point the hull starts taking in a lot more water and America will begin to tip and Trumps days will be numbered.
What sucks is that the only way to save America is for the ship to sink.

Some of us are disabled. Unfortunately, even though we do not share the murriKKKan religion of idiot, we are still and will always be in steerage as that ship sinks, subject to those fatuous whims and ridiculous beliefs.
Thanks for the book recommendation!
BTW, make nice with your rural cousins, cuz life will be a little easier in the country once the economy collapses.
Also, anybody got a good recipe for possum stew? I’m starving!
Literally. I’m starving.
I knew ever since i was a little kid that most people are stupid asf; but for the most part, I was able to ignore it, especially as an introvert.
I'll never forgive trump for not only shoving the racists into our faces, but also exposing just how goddamned stupid people are, especially Americans.
It's so depressing and watching this administration of incompetent, boobs stroking the ego of the 3 yo in office, telling him what a bestest boy he is while fuckng up the country.. Well... The pain is excruciating... I'm screaming into the void!
Vaxman's attitude is what I have now, a loss of hope. I am convinced some people need to die in order for there to be the needed change.
It's unfortunate, but those in congress with the real ability to do things need to be voted out as they are really doing nothing, but that's presuming our votes actually count for something.
Don't vote for anyone under 50 should be the new rule, as anyone over 50 who is being elected to congress has no skin in the game and has been well paid off.
I'm not so sure we can even trust our local elections anymore. Even locally, our election machines print out out ballots with our names on them…
