Americans chose one of the most visibly immoral, inept and ignorant person to be president TWICE
All of this was visible 16 km away (10 miles), the biggest concession I can grant here is the disbelief it could actually happen
But happen it did, in the same way the UK shot itself in the foot with Brexit, the USA did even worse and ate the poisonous mushroom. I honestly can’t see a way this does not end in WWIII and/or the brake up of the USA
If you think about it, the best way to stop a momentous beast isn’t to focus on the momentum, it’s to focus on the head and where it’s going and then the momentum fizzles out on its own. Republican mantra has always been to make government as ineffective as possible so they can look at government and correctly assess that it’s ineffective. Previously they worked to starve departments of resources, and they’ve already done that to the extent that it wasn’t even legal. New strategy in Trump and beyond is just to appoint clowns and make the world’s biggest clown show in each of their respective agencies. The anti-government shit writes itself when you’ve got the likes of Malory McMorrow saying, “Medicare for all means someone like Trump would control it, do you really want that?”
Even mediocrity from the cons, while not great, would at least be a lot better than this.
These people all seem to be some of the most maliciously stupid and/or unqualified that they could find. If they have any capability, it’s put to the task of carrying out evil: shitheel psychopaths like Vought and Miller as a for-instance.
When they don’t even have any capability they end up like Brainwormz here. A guy who is supposed to be looking out for health who looks and sounds terrible, has strange hobbies (dead whale heads, anyone? How about a bear carcass?) and even stranger beliefs - who needs that germ theory of disease, amirite - and says absolutely crazy shit - he can spot mitochondrial damage, talks about the “vaccine injured”, yells at reporter that she is not a scientist when he obviously has net negative credentials, and blurts out shit about chemtrails.
At least someone who was mediocre would probably tend to just agree with experts, vs. think they know better.

In my life, I have found that, the more ignorant someone is, the deeper their malice can get. We should really live in a society where being ignorant is as shameful as pooping your pants in public
I would think an awful lot would change if the business model around most media (news, movies, TV) were different.
But, as it is, I think most media really tip-toes around things that may make the ignorant uncomfortable, since they want to sell soap and boner pills to those people as well. Zeus forbid those people were to be told their beliefs were wrong.
It’s so insane that so much crazy shit is coming from this administration that this was last week and it seems to be barely covered.
This guy references Alex Jones level stuff, and he’s the HHS Secretary.
I mean…what even the fuck is happening.
Chemical combustion?
How many US states have banned water vapor?
And is the earth really a sphere? really?

You are still clinging to the idea that there is a plan here and it is not just a display on how mediocrity took over
