I hate how stupid everyone is.
"A person can be smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals"
Also, the Darwin Awards are a long-standing, constant reminder of the "can" in that statement.
Which explains why I don't mind individual persons for the most part. Dealing with them 1:1 is usually fine.
But damn do I hate people. And the worst part is I'm also a people.
I would wear a
shirt.
I wouldn't trust him to handle a casino, much less the economy... oh wait, he ran several casinos and bankrupted them all.
And his "signature issue", building a wall between the US and Mexico was a joke that really doesn't even deal with why people are coming into the US in the first place or who is giving all these undocumented workers jobs in the first place, not to mention that they're not taking jobs that any Americans even want.
To a lot of people, 'the economy' means taxes.
Democrats = tax Republicans = no tax
But because Republicans have worked to dismantle quality public education for decades, people don't understand that Democrats tax and wage policies generally mean the average voter is paying no more in taxes and the billionairea and multi millionaires stop leeching off of their hard work.
The rampant racism and fear mongering hasn't helped either.
