Bush wasn't that dumb, to be fair. Somewhat above average, I'd say. He was too uninformed to be President and he didn't care about sounding smart, that's all.

He manipulated the poo poo out of Americans for a decade, making them willfully give up their civil liberties, lives, and limbs, no matter how stupid or crazy their actions appeared to the rest of the world. Bush was a motherfucking genius.

I first thought I would just boycott national elections. My vote for President doesn't mean jack poo poo as I live in a Blue state that isn't going to swing Red. My vote for Congressmen doesn't matter because of gerrymandering. My vote for Senator doesn't matter because they don't give a poo poo what we want. Figured I'd just vote for local folks (mayor, council, gov)

Now my plan is to use my vote to fuel the fire. The more criminal politicians working only in the interests of their top sponsors we have, the faster the populous will finally have that "oh poo poo" moment and storm the castles, knock out a few of these fucks, and maybe we'll do a little bit of a rewrite to strengthen the checks & balances, and prevent "do nothing government" hostage situations.

I mean for gently caress's sake, I finally actually find myself wishing we had a Parliamentary system. Government (PM) can't get votes/support to do anything? General Election to find someone who CAN get the votes. Our system is so polarized at this point, we're only going to get worse if we don't fix how the system is run.

I mean, poo poo, some type of cultural civil war is the only other eventuality at this point if something isn't done.

...serioustalk endoftimes bs in a thread about having literal retards run for president. gently caress me

it doesnt matter. its not important. no one cares. life goes on with or without you. all that matters is how you live your own life. namaste.

you accelerationist scumlord gently caress!

Yeah but he was kind of coached along by the Republican Party or whatever.

I want a moronic celebrity to announce that he/she is running for office and just get elected organically, against the best efforts of the Very Serious People. Like if Riff Raff was elected governor of Texas or something, that would be amazing. Khloe Kardashian for Senate. Knowles/Gaga 2016.
