Can we be not ~~retarded~~ dumb enough to avoid electing a convicted felon to the presidency?

They really only like him because he's normalizing being publicly racist. None of his followers can list any of his "accomplishments" when he was president.

My brother has a lot of dumb redneck friends. The racist thing and whatever else Fox spews out is all they care about. Hell, only a few of them listen to Fox news and the ones that don't just listen to whatever the person who watches it says. They're so fucking stupid that I feel the embarrassment they should feel whenever I'm in ear shot of their bullshit.

Felon-title is trumping (no pun indented, maybe a little) the President-title.

What can we (the rest of the world) expect? The worst, as we all have a stake here, unfortunately.

can we please post our correct geopolitical positions without using ableist slurs

Very well. The specific word is not significant to my comment and was not intended to refer to a specific class of people, so it has been changed.

I agree, but I wonder why "dumb", which refers to a person who can't speak, never got the same treatment?

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

less hostility and spite behind it

You’ve got a lot to learn about the world’s perception of the US and more importantly Americans
