Millions of Americans knew the lies were lies before the war started and were in the streets protesting Bush's pending war crimes.That time after the Iraq War started, and it came to be realized the reasons were all lies.

Mental health epidemic. There's something in the food or water that's causing this in the US.Long story short 2 things stick out..
1. The guy killed 3 people including a cop who was trying to help and says to this girl.. "I'm going to kill you if you leave me" but his girlfriend says he's not a bad guy..
umm who's a bad guy then??
2. The same guy at the very end of the video blames Biden for his arrest and wants Trump to come back because.. Trump wants to bring back gas cars.
Thinks he got caught because he had an electric car.. not because he killed a state trooper.
Maybe it's the ever increasing amount of plastic in our brains.Mental health epidemic. There's something in the food or water that's causing this in the US.

Very typical of girls to say this about abusive guys. I guess their minds go back to their tender/intimate moments with the abusive guy and just think that he's momentarily triggered and will be back to normal soon.
I don't want to touch a gun because I know I can do more harm with it than good.
I don't drive because I know I can get myself in a serious accident and so far haven't had a real need to get a license.
Most people I know don't think like this. Everything they look at the pros first and almost never consider the cons or shrug them off until something bad happens and then pretend like life is unfair to them.
I held out some hope until the last election, probably. Stupidity abounded on both sides. The Dems for their horrible political acumen and the independents/moderates who believed Trumps load of bull****. and voted for him. The fact that his approval rating has not fallen to 20%, considering what he and Musk are doing, is further proof American voters are a lost cause, and dont overall care for anybody or any repressive policy until it affects them personally. Proof the majority of Americans are morally bankrupt, stupid, or quite possibly both.We've seen a lot of leopard eating faces threads.. but I'm curious as we've all gone through life.. when was the first time we realized that stupid people actually existed? I mean we all know bad people exist (murderers/ rapists/ serial killers/ child abducters/ smugglers)..
But we thought stupid people didn't exist! At least I didn't. Not as a kid anyways.
For me the realization was 1992?? Remember Amy Fischer.. the long island girl who had an affair with an older man named Joey and went to his house and shot his wife?? Then she bragged about it to her friend that she did.. she's enjoying the spotlight and wanted get a Ferrari with all the fame it had brought her. I was very young and thought.. OMG how can someone be that stupid??
My first major time thinking OMG lots of people can be stupid was 2004 election.. how could we elect W. a second time around?? Didn't we learn enough from his first term and he actually got more votes??
How about you all? When did you first realize it??
As I said in another post, I held out hope until the 2024 results. I thought perhaps 2016 was an aberration (after all Hillary did win the popular vote), and the voters would not make the same mistake twice. Instead, they voted in the same demagogue, but this time with a win in both the popular vote and electoral college.November 8, 2016
Donate blood regularly!Maybe it's the ever increasing amount of plastic in our brains.
Even with insurance, navigating what little we do have in place is not a trivial matter. And if you live in the vast wastelands of rural red America? Good luck!Mental illness rates are pretty much the same everywhere. The only difference is, the US has virtually NO mental health system in place.
Oh stupid exists. Stupid is not the same as a lack of intelligence.I've never really believed stupid people exist. I think stupidity is, in the vast majority of cases, a strategic choice. People are self-serving and believe what it suits them to believe.
I think that Upton Sinclair quote (which, full disclosure, I had to google to get the exact wording) is absolutely spot-on.
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
- Dietrich BonhoefferStupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease.
Against stupidity we are defenseless.
Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed — in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical — and when facts are irrefutable, they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self-satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack.
For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.
If we want to know how to get the better of stupidity, we must seek to understand its nature. This much is certain, that it is in essence not an intellectual defect but a human one. There are human beings who are of remarkably agile intellect yet stupid, and others who are intellectually quite dull yet anything but stupid. .... We note further that people who have isolated themselves from others or who live in solitude manifest this defect less frequently than individuals or groups of people inclined or condemned to sociability. And so it would seem that stupidity is perhaps less a psychological than a sociological problem.
I mean, that's not a stupidity thing, nor is it specific to Americans. It's an abuse thing and it happens all over.Mental health epidemic. There's something in the food or water that's causing this in the US.

In a population of 300M, those loud dissenters in the U.S. were a small minority:Millions of Americans knew the lies were lies before the war started and were in the streets protesting Bush's pending war crimes.
That's because the richest country in history can't afford universal health care, much less mental health. 🤣Mental illness rates are pretty much the same everywhere. The only difference is, the US has virtually NO mental health system in place.
Actually we can afford it, we choose not to. That’s just stupidity.California's 2003 gubernatorial recall election was a clusterfuck of epic proportions.

Obvious sarcasm is obvious.Actually we can afford it, we choose not to. That’s just stupidity.
You'd think so, but we live in strange times.Obvious sarcasm is obvious.
