Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warns of potential impact of 2024 election

Everybody is warning us of the impact of the election. They've been warning us for years.
The problem is that Americans stood up and either said "We know. We just don't care.", or "We know. We want it that way."
After briefly speaking to one of my younger (white, male, most likely straight, but turns out he's prob an "enlightened centrist") co-workers earlier today, it seems like there are people who just don't believe it can happen.
He told me that "both sides have their propaganda" when I asked if he's read Project 2025. I wanted to scream.
The conversation literally ended with me telling him that this has happened before. He said, yeah, but not here. I was like, we're not special. Such a disappointing conversation. Ruined my day/night. Literally used the "it will never happen here" line.
This is a man with a STEM degree. He's not stupid.
I think there are a lot of people who are in for a shock when the shit really starts hitting the fan.
You can have tons of degrees and still be stupid.
Confirmed I knew a man who worked doing advanced particle research at cern but who also voted for the Tory party. In the words of a wise man, ‘that’s the dumbest smart guy I know’. People are retarded and it’s extremely annoying.
No reason to be ableist about. You can just say they're stupid.
Look at Ben Carson
Buckminster Fuller, who was smart enough to predict the geometry of the most common object in space, the 'Bucky Ball' and designed geodesic domes, thought that eating steak was more efficient than plants because the cow focused the nutrients.
Stay in your lane, experts.
Then you've got the "Did Joe Biden step down?" crowd just completely oblivious lol.
In the aftermath the number of fuckwits I saw not voting or voting against their own interests has been insane.
Socialists sitting out because of Gaza.
Black women complaining Trump won but not voting.
Working class woman whose husband is in a union and he himself voted Harris; whose son is gay... Yep, she voted Trump.
I'm so tired of trying to drag along stupid people.
22% of America said Fuck America, and thus we were fucked.
Or we know but don't think it'll actually happen
To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.
