Y'all have got to learn to separate the general population from all the elitist fuckhead of the current government. They were all hiding under their cowshit coveted rocks before the oligurkin mutts drug em out for the show

The average person is not deeply aware of this stuff. All y’all don’t have any fucking clue what the average American is like.

Most people are just trying to get through the day. They want to pay their bills and make sure the kids are fed and Sally needs to get to dance class and Bobby has been having problems at school and now the boss wants to get that foundation poured tomorrow so you’re gonna have to stay late, but your wife can’t leave work early to pick up the kids so now you have to deal with that and oh, eggs cost double what they did a year ago and you haven’t gotten a real raise since 2021.

They don’t have time to spend on Lemmy, figure out how to use Linux, learn what a tariff is, or debate the difference between gender and sex, or read about what the Heritage Foudnation does. I do, but I’m not most people and the more y’all keep acting like those people aren’t like you people the more problems you’re gonna keep making for yourself.

Grow the fuck up

If they didn't have kids because it was "the next step" in life they would have time.

The 'Mercans are not usually aware that there are other countries besides the two countries, Europe and Africa.

I assume you define patriotism as belief in one's country because no other populated countries actually exist.

In sharp contradiction, most 'Mercans believe that they are Irish, a small town in Delaware.
