A still of this has been my phone wallpaper for years, and I can’t imagine ever changing it
Yes.
As an American, we love our Canadian neighbors and are embarrassed by this dumbass and our fellow citizens that empower him. Sorry ‘bout that.

We should stop subscribing to the notion that MAGA voters have conservative political views- they don’t have political views at all. They simply hate. They want to feel empowered to embrace the cruelty, bigotry, and zealotry in their hearts. That is not political ideology. It is nothing more than stupidity and apathy applied to an uninformed position. Does that heavily overlap with conservative politics? Absofuckinglutely. But it’s still not a true political stance, and I think that matters.
This would require a level of intelligence, reflection, and self-awareness that has never once been demonstrated among that group.
What’s wrong with someone not knowing something, recognizing that knowledge gap, then asking a question to build that knowledge?
Right, but our democracy is the thing he’s most likely to bankrupt in this scenario.
That’s anecdotal, and as an American, doesn’t likely represent anywhere near the majority of voters. Certainly those that are entirely apathetic and don’t vote, but most that put in the time and effort to vote are mutually aware of each- that awareness may be (likely is?) flawed, but this outcome represents something more concerning than the simple result of a popularity contest.
Bro, you are the worst.
The problem is right-leaning constituents simply do not care about any of these glaring issues among their party representatives- they will still vote for the republican candidate without hesitation before ever even considering voting dem. These stories would have been fatal blows to a candidate on either side 20 years ago; now they barely make a ripple because we’re already in a storm.
Bro, read the story then delete this dumb fucking comment.
