I think they just don’t care and are a bunch of power thirsty grifting psychos narcissists making a good buck.

When you criticize them you get a “you are no better” “your country is like that too”. I am not very confident from experience that people with this level of narcissism and entitlement are trustworthy.

No one started to listen more or less to my rambling before of after being absolutely spot on about Trump wining 2024 and what would come next. The stupid anti democrat left are still stupid and don’t want no introspective thoughts, MAGA are still apparently brain dead. Both are faking stupidity.

he died. But the story is convenient and this is all that matters to these dickheads who do evil under the guise of stupidity.

It’s convenient to have a contrarian opinion ready with apparent wide enough public support to be used in any debate. This is IMO the main function of disinformation. Like no one genuinely believes that Charlie Kirk was a good man, everyone knows he was a massive troll, no one gives a shit that

he didn’t ask for Canadian immigrants either, because Canada is on their menu.

Because one would believe that facing such great evil would get absolutely every single American to quickly rally to stop it. But you know, they could also be too “stupid” to pul it off for some convenient reason.

So the my final thought and question about the absolute joke going on in the US : to which extend actual stupidity is at play to create Trump, and how much actual stupidity is at play at failing to stop him. Like are we all being scammed by a giant self propelled machine of pretended dumbness.

If you need anymore crushing proof of the idea I am proposing here just consider that Cambridge Analytica purposefully targeted dark triad personality types not because they are stupid but because they are manipulative lying pieces of shit fame seeking attention whores.

The hardest antivax I have met were all more educated than I am. My ex architect employer was one, I have a literature cousin who is really hardcore and unexpectedly flipped to Trump. what they have in common with their uneducated counterparts was their blatant NARCISSISM.

You can all say “the problem with is education”, it’s not, the thought leaders of this movement are all educated, most of them from the best universities in the world. It would help, undoubtedly, but nothing is that hard to understand, our debate are not about quantum mechanics.

If you could ask any German what they thought was their biggest mistake that led to Hitler the would say TO THINK NAZIS WERE STUPID. (They said it while still alive).

For some reason all these very stupid people become smart when we talk about money. Don’t try to fool them on this.

So we can all blame what is going on on stupidity, and keep pretending that Trump and co. are all very stupid, and that all of this is a stupid accident.

I don’t by it.

It is humanely impossible to be fooled over a thousand times. The cognitive burden of believing a thousand distinct, debunkable lies is unsustainable unless the person is deriving a significant, sustaining payoff that makes the cognitive dissonance worthwhile. They are not stupid.

Most every criminal first instinct when they get caught is to act stupid.

But they much rather like that you think they are just stupid, because you can do so much evil under the guise of stupidity before being stopped.

Which make sense since this kind of information, any information at all, when meeting a narcissist is going to either match their preconceived beliefs or be rejected. It’s not about being stupid, it’s about narcissism. They are not that stupid, they are narcissistic and Machiavellian.

I would literally tell them “do you fucking realize that literally every single tyrannical mass murder maniac was a malignant narcissist from Hitler to Mao to Mussolini” and it still wouldn’t make them flinch.
