I don't understand how people like this get elected. We live in an age of broadband insta-access to terabytes of HD visual information. How does someone who looks like her get elected? Her face immediately sets off all kinds of sixth sense warnings and cringe.
We even have a popular fictional representation of her--she's literally Dolores Umbridge.
Normies who "check out" during midterms because they figure "we got the president we like, everything's fine". Stuff like that allows cheating to be more effective.
Granted, I don't think, given our situation, that this will be an issue for the next few decades. The happenings of 2020 have woken a lot of folks up. I'm hoping (praying) that a lesson was learned with the last one. I'm also hoping that some sort of universal voter I.D. requirement is the first order of business when this is all over.
I swear if it were up to normies we would just elect an all powerful dictator every 4 years if we could guarantee that said dictator would step down after 4 or 8 years
Oh my glob, I swear that I actually heard that from a giant soy I used to work with. He was the ‘maybe we should have our baby in Canada so she gets citizenship’ type to escape the horrors of Trump.
Anti-gun, and thought that a dictator or monarchy wouldn’t be so bad if they were guaranteed to step down after their term. 🤦🏻♀️
Media, traditional media. We underestimate the power of news media in assigning opinions to us. Slow news days are just days the media doesn't have any opinions to push, not days where nothing happens.
The scary truth is a lot of people are in fact dumb. Nearly half are below average. ~50 million dummies is a real drag on society. The left caters to them, you're so smart, you're so progressive. Pats on head.
As we develop more technology we get a concentration of power. The left is using this concentration to push out-organizing us as we are individuals and don't make ten thousand new orgs a year.
They also have no scruples so sedition etc is fine with them as well.
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that our society is so advanced. We've crossed some threshold where our technology has overtaken natural selection processes, and it has happened so quickly we haven't really adapted to this new paradigm properly.
People live longer than they should. There's less risk. There's less danger.
More people can be artists and poets and musicians. But fewer people are capable of actually being independent, or producing things that survival requires.
We've become too tolerant, inclusive, and generous. Bad behaviors, dumb decisions, criminality, degeneracy, and weakness aren't punished like they used to be. People escape punishment from the natural world because our society has mitigated the consequences of the natural world against them through technology and wealth. And they escape punishment from society on account of how tolerant and feels-based we've become.
So, we don't discourage poor decisions and bad behavior nearly as much, and in fact we sort of end up subsidizing it. Survival of the fittest is all but lost. Mediocrity is rewarded. Incompetence flourishes.
The meme is real. Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times.
Complete agreement. I'm personally torn. I am a senior dev and have been helping create tech, but I'm seeing the results absolutely crashing society, freedom and morality.
How do we recover and keep the tech? All tech concentrates power and that imbalance will always be exploited, as much as we wish it were otherwise the left are human and there's always people willing to do what they do.
The current system allows waay too much hiding space. I am cautiously optimistic about near term, though I think violence will be required to maintain what we currently have. On a longer term I don't see how we can be free with networked cameras everywhere.
The 5G causing covid story was to get out ahead of using 5G to saturate public spaces for "contact tracing". Now mention 5G anywhere in conjunction with covid and you're instantly a moron in the publics eyes.
That is the face of an ideological fundementalist in the throws of rapture, go to any snake handling, jesus jack church, the people who pay for front row have that exact same look on their face.
You cant reason with the left, they live in an unfalsifiable bubble with an emotional feedback loop to their narrcisim.
She is a total fucking psychopath. You can see it in her face. The unhinged grin, the eyes daring anyone to challenge her power.

Why are people so fucking dumb?

Bwahahaha dictator step down, I like that

Voter ID and a saner Supreme Court are reasons we elected Trump and need 4 more years
It might be too late for MI. State is overrun with Gretchens.
Be grateful that you don't understand because if you did, you would be one of them.

They only continue to have power because of how fucking dumb people are.

I have a theory about this.

That, or she is contorting her face as best as she could, after being spoonfed a bucketload of crow.
No, she always looks like that.
