Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

As ex Iowan, note how they're all corn and soybean farmers. Which are subsidized by the feds. As in they're welfare queens.

That's because these people are fucking dumb. There is no better reason for it. Just a bunch of dumb hicks.

Suffer in torment, the lot of you.

That's because these people are fucking dumb

Cipolla covered this, see #3 and #5 below. I am always guilty of #1 & #4


These are Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity:

  1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

  2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

  3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

  4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

  5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

Not dumb if they just vote to get welfare for themselves. Joke's on us.

But they are dumb because our government failed them by cutting education. This is a feedback loop and will take generations of good policy to change. I agree if you won't try to learn the truth then you are doomed to suffer.

As far ad he is concerned, his term will never end, and he will pass it down to his son.

He's wrong, of course, but he has no motivation to follow through on his promises - as if he ever had before now.

Stupid is as stupid does.

I'm not one to blame the victim...but when you repeatedly walk back into the pedophile's house, bend over, drop your panties, and loudly proclaim to the world, "Surely I shan't be raped this time!" I start to blame you.
