    The fuck I don’t. I toed the line, still lost, still get blamed when the diversity hire can’t beat Donald fucking Trump. Getting clapped by a shit stain should probably prompt a deeper introspection

      The diversity hire did about 10% better than the old white guy.

      Trump won because Americans are that dumb, it’s not the fault of the black lady.

        Trump won because democrats preferred listening to republicans who were never going to vote for them over democrats who might have voted for them.

          And I hope those democrats are enjoying what they didn’t vote for. I’m sure Kamala or Biden or whoever would have been worse than pedophile protector in chief.

            I’m sure you’re enjoying getting your second choice.

        Trump won because Americans are that dumb

        This is poor analysis. This doesn’t explain why people become “dumb” or receptive to fascism. It has no notion of the material causes of fascism - lack of education, crumbling infrastructure, economic austerity, withheld wages, unaffordable healthcare, etc… Its a tautology that says things are bad because people are dumb and people are dumb becsuse things are bad.

        If you truly latch on to this analysis, your only recourse is fact checking, appeals to reasons, and appeals to media literacy. How have those pushes been over thr last 10 years?

        Fascism is capitalist crisis; it is not some nebulous “dumbing down” of an entire population through clandestine or otherwise paranormal means. Marxism teaches us to understand these issues from a “class” perspective as opposed to a “population” perspective.

          I didn’t say people are dumb on purpose. They are dumb. Sure, there’s a thousand reasons for it, I’m just stating the current status.
