It's not about the journey it's the destination.

They're not idiots. They're actually smarter then us given that it worked. They knew what they were doing. These crazy ideas spread like a meme. The spread is important. The left ignores all this and really is blind to this and it's still amazing to see how the left has no idea how to exist digitally.

too many people assumed that maga voters would eventually come around and see reason. while people whose lives were completely wrecked say "yea, this is awful, but i still support trump!!"

Than*

And no they aren't. It's just that trying to convince an idiot that they're an idiot is an uphill battle.

Is being the lowest common denominator really smarter? If the human race no longer exists did they really win? Perhaps we just all lost.

Yea, what the fuck.

Again why the left is fucking doomed.

Like if you're in a battle and you have what you think is moral superiority but they have land and air superiority, who wins?

Also the human race still exists? They won, we lost so yea they really won even if you think you have some personality check that you passed?

It's like Democrats showing up to places and getting kicked out. Great you morally showed they suck. But you also showed how weak you are and that as a leader you can't even enter a building. Why am I supporting someone who can't succeed at that?

The left of so hell bent on showing weakness and ineffectiveness at a time where it's needed most. I understand the Democrats are not left. I'm saying anyone left of the Republicans.

Pretty short sighted to take this for granted. Your takes here are weird AF and are getting upvoted because people are desperate to understand how such a string of illogical events could possibly have happened. You're all grasping at straws. Sometimes things just don't make sense and the state of America right now is one of them. Claiming conservatives being smart as the reason is pretty ridiculous. Being the shittiest is not "smart".

Edit: a peek at your post history and I understand everything now. A Joe Rogan fan is not exactly someone to take seriously. The dudes whole brand is giving equal weight to reasonable and braindead positions

It's almost like the Democrats are just rich people's muppets, controlled opposition, the illusion of two hallways and one door at the end... As far as the human race I was speaking long term. They won the battle but we are on path to lose the war.
