The success of #MAGA is built on tens of millions of Americans being two braincells shy of being the intellectual equivalent of a potato

@benroyce Well said!

[fishhead_125@mastodon.social]

@benroyce Csn I pls borrow that one for defining the success of #noafd ?

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@fishhead_125

different country

[disorderlyf@todon.eu]

@benroyce substitute "woke" for "socialism" here

@benroyce
We're well and truly through the looking glass.

[jigmedatse@social.openpsychology.net]

@benroyce@mastodon.social JD... What does any of that have to do with socialism? Well, I think I can answer it. Dick all. Also... Who is doing all these "evil" things that you think are going on? Sure there's some people that even I would say, "are going too far with X that I more or less agree with" but they're just a different flavour of fascists in my mind.

@JigmeDatse

jigme your problem is you're too coherent. go drink an entire fifth of vodka, come back slurring your words and scatterbrained, and then MAGA will understand you 🤭

[byrnensorg@mastodon.ie]

@benroyce No matter how high the levels of idiocy in the public MAGA figures, it is dwarfed by those that vote for them.

[connynasch@mastodon.social]

@benroyce The world recognises that, unfortunately. I believe the Ammies are never going to recover...

[tokensane@mastodon.me.uk]

@benroyce So, Mr. Vice President, are you saying that universal health care and decent social security are NOT socialism? That Republicans have been lying about that all these years?

[asprinkleofsage@mastodon.social]

@benroyce ah yes, who can forget the two key tenets of Das Kapital, how its crucial for the working class that they fight with foreigners over low paid jobs and that boys should play girls sports

@mkoek @benroyce

In the US, 41% of the college graduates that voted, voted for Trump.

People being fucking assholes is more of a problem than people being uneducated.

Anyone who thinks their voters give a shit if anything they say in front of a camera is true or makes sense is deeply ignorant.

@benroyce

This is slander against potatoes, and I am here to defend their honour

[canleaf@mastodon.social]

@fishhead_125 @benroyce everyone right wingers tosses around "socialism" as a Kampfbegriff in Germany...

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@clickhere

Apologies. The intellect of potatoes shall not be besmirched!

[clickhere@mastodon.ie]

@benroyce I appreciate and accept your apologies. Please, carry on.

@byrnensorg @benroyce

The ignorance and the incompetence go together, both are inherent components of fascism.

Fascism is facile.

@davey_cakes @mkoek

I agree wholeheartedly and you captured my sentiment. The problem is: what is "stupid"

You can have someone with no formal education who sees the grift that is MAGA a mile away. This person is wise and intelligent

You can have someone with advanced degrees from the finest institutions who is all in on MAGA. This person is a stupid loser

Knowledge and sense in one domain does not extend to knowledge and sense in another

And the streets can teach more than Oxford or Yale
