The problem really is that we humans are programmed to respond stronger to emotion than to reason. That’s why Trump could spout absolute nonsense and still “win” because what he was saying made people feel “good” and they saw him as “charismatic”.

We had the energy. It’s just the people who could have channeled that energy were too busy covering up their own asses. Don’t forget that Trump lost the popular vote by a hilarious margin. Just goes to show that the votes and opinions of us normal peons amount to utter shit.

Trump doesnt believe in art and almost less than half of the voting public agreed with his anti-intellectualism, nationalism, anti-science baby-talk.

...So, are our taxes going to be going towards anything domestically after this? All der Cheetoh seems to care about is the damned military, funding his Wall Street buddies, using his position to fleece money from international leaders, his stupid “wall”, and banishing Mexicans.

Without help from the Federal Government, meme research would not have made such huge achievements in the last decade, WTF are they thinking!

Pour one out for Sesame Street. I don’t even know how it got to this. God, this is such bullshit.

What kind of monster takes money away from Meals on Wheels?

I’m glad the super is showing some backbone, because the mayor sure as hell folded like a cheap lawn chair.

He’s basically gutting everything that isn’t about war and deportations.

WHY IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TWEETING ABOUT SNOOP DOGG!?

62 million Americans happily held their noses on the “family values” front during this election to vote for a thrice married serial cheater who assaults women for sport and sexualizes teenager girls, including his own daughter.

Political and moral failings are too completely separate things.

Being poor is something that is very difficult to overcome. Educating yourself with facts is very easy to do. Yet conservatives want to live in their alt-fact echo chambers. I can’t blame a poor man for being born into a poor family, or a sick woman for being born with lupus, but I can blame conservatives for getting…

This is absolutely true, but it is also absolutely proof that they are in fact stupid.

How about the argument that “I don’t deserve to suffer for those people’s political failings” is that a better one? Because that’s basically the arguemnt that can be made for Blue states to get the fuck out of this union.

That’s bullshit a state like California couldn’t survive on its own.

Or, you know, they could TRADE for water since they will have lots of things that other nation-states might want.

It’s almost like the interior west has been viewed as a resource colony by the coasts and that our political culture is largely a reaction against the perceived power base of the coasts (monopolies in the early 1900's/gov’t today). Almost like if California decided to secede, Colorado (unless they were also part of…

I agree it’s not helping but, at this point, why shouldn’t a state like California consider it?

Or Texas in the same stupid secession scenario that they floated. More likely in Texas since it’s a big dump of dust, racists and tricked out domestic cars.
