Trump Supporters Have a Meltdown After Green Day Slam 'MAGA Agenda' During New Year's Show

It's not the right time to be sober
Now, the idiots have taken over
Spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?
Mensa membership conceding
Tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding?
Watson, it's really elementary
Industrial revolution
Has flipped the bitch on evolution
The benevolent and wise are being thwarted, ostracized What a bummer
The world keeps getting dumber
Insensitivity is standard
And faith is being fancied over reason
Darwin's rolling over in his coffin
The fittest are surviving much less often
Now, everything seems to be reversing, and it's worsening
(guitar riff)
Someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
Now, angry mob mentality is no longer the exception, it's the rule
And I'm startin' to feel a lot like
Charlton Heston
Stranded on a primate planet
Apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground
With generals and the armies that obeyed them
Followers following fables
Philosophies that enable them to rule without regard
There's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated
Political scientists get the same one vote as some Arkansas inbred
Majority rule, don't work in mental institutions
Sometimes, the smallest softest voice carries the grand
BIGGEST SOLUTIONS
What are we left with?
A nation of god-fearing pregnant nationalists
Who feel it's their duty to populate the homeland
Pass on traditions
How to get ahead religions
And prosperity via simpleton culture (ah-)
The idiots are taking over
The idiots are taking over

Thanks homie, you tha MVP
Nah, that's Michael Burkett.
oh fun, a bunch of anti-democracy and pro-eugenics sentiments. cool.
"Pro-eugenics?"
saying modern life is so comfortable that intelligence is no longer an evolutionary advantage isn't pro-eugenics, it's the fucking truth. As far as anti-democracy, I am actually an Arkansas inbred, and my vote against magatardism goes straight in the trash thanks to the electoral college.
Intelligence is still very much an evolutionary advantage. Idocracy isn't science and getting your ideas about evolution from a mark judge film is not a sign of intelligence.
You’re just asserting something without evidence too.
You know, generally as wealth increases birth rate decreases. Just look at the population crises coming up around the developed world.
Fertility goes down as wealth increases because developed industrial societies don't use child labor and infant mortality has gone way down. It's not because intelligence is a disadvantage.
You know, generally as wealth increases birth rate decreases. Just look at the population crises coming up around the developed world.
This is the exact opposite of why people are having fewer kids in areas with population crises.
People generally have fewer kids in developed nations than in developing nations because all of their children are likely to survive.
Population crises arise due to social and economic factors.
I’m not sure that you even disagree with me here.
My only disagreement is where population crises come from. These are cultural and economic issues, generally, not necessary consequences of wealth building.
Otherwise yeah you're spot on
Not sure why you’re downvoted. These are absolutely the reasons. Unfortunately in some developed nations people are worked to death and buried under debt so they decide not to have kids, or are simply not left with a choice at all. Also, well educated societies can also see the world heading in a bad direction, economically, environmentally, and/or politically and decide to be responsible and not being a child into such a world. Unfortunately, the latter means we leave the world to an ever increasing population of idiots.
I legitimately want to hear your reasoning for that statement.
It literally complains about majority rule and says that society is decaying because more intelligent people are being outbred by their inferiors.
One of many things that the right, left, and center can all agree on is (pro) eugenics.
Idiocracy, and this song, are so explicitly eugenicist and yet people who consider themselves "enlightened liberals", or even "leftists", choose not to see them as such.
They choose not to because to accept that obvious truth would mean that they have some things they need to work out too. That it's not just MAGA supporters that are upholding white supremacy and ableism.
In the past 5 years I've come to terms with a lot of abhorrent things I used to believe, and a lot of harm that I've unknowingly caused in the past.
Learn better; Do better.
If you haven't done hard introspection that has made you uncomfortable, especially if you're an abled white person, then you're probably not as enlightened of a person as you see yourself being.
Not sure why you're pointing this at me talking about enlightened beings etc.
Thanks!
