    So, I always thought it was just a mean bully thing to say, but, as a group, Americans really are dumber than a bag of rocks.

        Lots of countries are stupid, but not that many have >50% of their population be that incredibly stupid. Usually it’s closer to 20-30%. America takes the gold though.

          Must be nice to live in a world where you think USA is the only country to elect a moron. I’m Canadian as well. Just wait.

              It’s been swinging right since about 2012, worldwide. This is a symptom of that disease. The world has been falling more and more to right wing authoritarian fear mongering and xenophobia. Across Europe, the South Pacific, South America, Africa. Literally every continent has been swinging to the right and flirting with that doomsday trend of falling to fascist takeovers every, like, 80 years or so. And it’s back. Like some fucking cancer you just can’t beat.

          Look at Italy, Hungary, Slovakia, UK and Germany’s AFD. Hate is potent political fuel that’s burning hotter and hotter.

      The real question is “if they are so stupid why did you lose?” Why didn’t your superior intellect lead you to victory?
