    I was joking. I was being sarcastic. I was making fun of the US president because he doesn’t understand the concept op percentages. You know, something you learn during basic math in primary school. All while being the freaking president. A potato as a president is tearing down the already fucked up education system, replacing it with his propaganda.

    The president’s net approval rating is -16%, up 2.3 points since last week. 41% approve, 57% disapprove, 4% not sure.

    This means only 57% consists of people who knew he was criminal pedophile piece of shit, or recently realized because they trusted his lies over facts before. That also means the rest (except the 1% of people who hold all the wealth and actually love him for getting even more rich at the cost of everyone else, thanks to him) are too dumb to understand what 2+2 is. This includes the journalist from The Economist, because when you add up those percentages you get a total of a 102%.

    By now the movie Idiocracy is no longer a comedy, it’s a prediction of the very near future of the US. An optimistic one, because in the movie they didn’t kill themselves or blew up the entire world.

      Ok, fair enough, but you know some of his followers are dead serious about it, right? A smiley goes a long way

      Yep, and a large number of his followers think that is a good thing, because they think teachers are brainwashing children 😂

        Many of his religious followers believe Jesus will return and they will go to heaven when there is a total world destruction event, caused by a conflict with Israel and unbelievers. They want to support Israel with loads of weapons, because they want the civilization ending even to happen as soon as possible so they will go to their imaginary God. They are completely metal and fucked up and have nothing to do with facts, reality and science. The followers who are dead serious are greatly misinformed due to his propaganda, due to their only source for news is fox which is also Trump propaganda and because they lack proper education and intelligence, hence again the whole issue.

        Yep, and a large number of his followers think that is a good thing, because they think teachers are brainwashing children

        It starts to look like a cult. Dismissing science and claiming their leader is God-like, while breaking off ties with the outside.
