Good grief, I hate so much about this.
Anti-intellectualism just keeps winning the day. The dumbest people are winning.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Pass the Brawndo.
It’s not just dumbasses. It’s dumbasses with no morals. If more smart people had no morals, they’d win every time.
They'll be the among the first to die when it comes to health and common sense
They died in higher percentages than normal Americans during Covid, and yet, we are still neck deep in dumbfucks that think donvict is a great choice to lead this country...
That a win for the whole health industry, think of all the people you will now need to treat of Polio, measles, tetanus and so on not to mentions all the grave diggers! This is a job creation machine! /s
They don't make iron lungs or the parts for them anymore so that's great...
This is what Trump meant by bringing back American steel.
Maybe an IOT iron lung?
I cant wait for my iron lung to get hit with a ransomware attack and I have to rapidly transfer dogecoin to some random address to be able to breathe again
Stocks in producers of nutritional supplements and bleach, meanwhile, have rallied.
For some reason, this reminded me of this. Probably the supplements and Covid denialism. Bill Phillips of Body For Life fame...learned a rather hard lesson, though he did survive. Thankfully, he did come out and try to warn others to do the right thing...
