This has gotta be the dumbest administration in American history.

    Hey, silver lining. I don't believe this one!

    I think if our president were any dumber, they couldn't get elected. He's damn near drooling on himself. There has to be something left to sway that many people. And even most idiots wouldn't appoint this many fellow idiots.

    It seems really, really hard to have an administration this dumb. I think this is the dumbest possible point.

    Now, things can get worse. See Stalin. See this surveillance tech. But I don't think the admin itself can get any dumber than this.

    I think some of them say stupid stuff as a weird power move - "yeah I said bullshit what are you going to do about it? Nothing. Because you're weak"

    This is a factor in why fascists only really respond to power. It's all they understand, and even that understanding is limited.

    I have brought up "cruelty signalling" and "vice signalling" a number of times as a conservative counterpart to "virtue signalling"...

    But MAGA seems to have progressed it to "ignorance signalling", to show your allegiance to Dear Leader, you must project your idiocy in his likeness.

    this is pretty close to the 1984 doublethink stuff

    "War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength."

    They're expected to believe conflicting ideas and internalize that the State is right even when you're provided with two conflicting facts.

    We are the greatest nation ever, and everyone wants to be us! ... But also the damn Democrats destroyed America, and that's why no one can afford groceries! Gas prices are lower than ever before! But they're not because Biden!

    They do this so often it's amazing. They like villains but forget that villains most often lose

    The villains lose because history is written by victors. Pretty sure Amalek would describe their genocide different from the biblical version

    It's just that American Christian Republicans only know their bible 6th hand thru memes. Like this dumbass who is talking to who he thinks are people that know it 12th hand because his ego is over-inflatedx

    Fun fact: almost everybody are dead wrong about David vs Goliath.

    David was a seasoned soldier armed with the bronze age equivalent of a 9mm pistol, while Goliath was a huge dude with a club.

    The only way Goliath could have had any chance would be if David started the fight in the Goldilocks zone of "within melee range but not so close that the relative size of Goliath and his weapon becomes a disadvantage"

    To the extent he is an historical figure, it wasn’t even David who killed him, as I understand it. Rather it was an appropriation of a the valor of one of David’s own soldiers by David’s biographer/Propagandist/Deuteronomist since seemingly their own sources say that Elhanan killed him:

    IN ANOTHER BATTLE WITH THE PHILISTINES AT GOB, ELHANAN SON OF JAIR THE BETHLEHEMITE KILLED GOLIATH THE GITTITE, WHO HAD A SPEAR WITH A SHAFT LIKE A WEAVER’S ROD

    2 Samuel 21:19

    It seems unlikely that any scribe in a Davidic regime would get away with the reverse; attributing one of King David’s most heralded victories to a lowly son of Jair.

    No like, actually to any American who feels that way, shut up, quit voting, and let those of us with brains and hearts run the country. Canada has done nothing to hurt or offend us unril we started it. They were in fact the best neighbor and ally a country could ask for. Far better neighbors than we were and especially than dipshits like this are

    That's how god damn fucking stupid these mother fuckers are. They don't understand a single fucking thing beyond the most absolute surface level of everything they fucking see and hear. They repeat shit they heard from people they think are smarter than them and they think they're being clever for it.

    Fuck dude pisses me right the fuck off, im so fucking over this epidemic of idiocracy. Felt good to vent on a Friday morning tho. Didnt want to hold onto it all day.

    It's even funnier that scripture wise Goliath was like 6'6" to 6'9" most professional basketball players are as tall as or taller than he was said to have been. I'm taller than Goliath for what that is worth.
