the rotten heart is the gop. they’ve been mastering propaganda since the 60s all while defunding public education to make it harder to see through. that’s why things are the way they are.
Did you ever consider that the American public might just be a bunch of spiteful, narcissistic, racist, misogynistic people?
Not “corrupted” by propaganda or a lack of education, but that you, collectively, made this choice - because you understand the consequences and what’s at stake, and you still made this choice?
Yeah, it’s not really a secret that things are bad (or at least not good) everywhere, but at least most other countries’ voting doesn’t really directly affect the whole world, in contrast to the American elections.
I dont know… looking at the map, the large cities are generally democrat majorities… you know, where the people with better jobs, hence an education, live.
Voting Trump just shows a very clear lack of critical thinking.
Yes, that’s the problem. But how do you raise better people? Good education can give you better understanding of societal problems. Equality and tolerance can be taught, just like rasism and hate can be taught. A good education system can be the only way to cultivate people if the hate runs in the families. It takes several generations to make things better though.

Sounds like Brexit to me.

About half of us, yes.
Well, it averages out with the bigots on top, apparently. Sadly.
First-past-the-post. Electoral College. Gerrymandering. No ranked choice. Our fucked voting system is awful.
Yeah, it definitely seems like change is in order, regardless of what one thinks of the result.
Trump appears to have won the popular vote. Can’t blame the voting system this time.
