The most infuriating part is they're so bad at this, yet they're still getting away with it. I mean they're just So. Dumb. and yet...

They are mean. Look at MTG, Democrats have been mad at her for YEARS. When Republicans were mad at her for two DAYS she HAD to get security protection. What does that tell you?

I enjoy that we haven't even figured out a way to accurately quantify or screen for actual human intelligence, but these clowns think they can synthesis it by making a computer read enough reddit posts.

There's a reason why the rest of the world sneers at them.

Well sure, it's way easier to feel superior to someone else than it is to deal with the fascist groups slowly taking over their own governments.

But in my experience people don't really sneer at the US except in meaningless online dickwaving contests - right now most people are either embarrassed on our behalf or terrified of what shit we'll pull next. Usually, both.

It's definitely both

Those are the two main things I notice from the sane on the inside as well

It's as if there's a larger power structure burning through them to move the needle back to the future
