We need to stop being in shock and awe at how stupid these people are and start understanding that they are our enemies. They work in direct opposition to the welfare of average Americans. They're also stupid. But more importantly, they are our enemies, and we need to start framing it as such.
- Intelligence and Cunning are two different things.
  If I'm walking through the woods and I'm being stalked by a predator the fact that it cant do long division doesnt matter for shit.
  
  I mean, depending on the predator it can probably divide you lengthwise. Does that count?
  
  Humans became the dominant species on the planet because we learned how to throw rocks. That was our big innovation. Our intelligence is an entirely incidental byproduct of learning how to throw rocks.
  In fact we are way more intelligent is these efficient, so these people are simply more correctly synced up to the actual intelligence that is necessary to survive.
- We've been doing that for years, but people just chanted "genocide" at Kamala and let this happen.
  
  BLUEMAGA never stops whining. Go bitch at Biden and Harris for not doing the thing Trump did before he even got in office. It was on the table for like 8 months and those monsters said “nah”.
  
  lol wut?
  
  Don't bother. They're just trying to distract and redirect by telling us we should be mad at those not directly responsible instead of those directly responsible.
  Like those who said we should blame Democrats when Republicans overturned Roe v Wade.
  Generally speaking, ignore anyone that uses the term "BLUEMAGA". It's a term trending with idiots right now.
  
  You should be mad at both, really, but when it comes to allocating effort, the present threat is the more important one. Whether or to what extent the Dems would do the same doesn't matter anywhere as much as the things actually happening.
  If by some stroke of fortune an actual progressive party should gather enough support to be more than a spoiler, then they'll be justified to attack the Dems: "We're what you should have been." But outside of that, the focus should rightly be what is happening, not what should have or might have happened.
- Hear hear.
  
  Hear*
- Enemies? I disagree. It's more like watching a toddler playing with a loaded gun.
  
  Toddlers murder a wild number of people.
  This is exactly a toddler with a gun.
  Edit for numbers:
  Some might assume that toddlers and young children may not be strong enough to pull a trigger, but that is not the case, experts said. At least 895 children aged 5 and under have managed to find a gun and unintentionally shoot themselves or someone else from 2015 to 2022, according to Everytown.

  Remember, children cannot purchase guns in the USA. Many also lack the hand strength to fire.
  I apologize for the source.
  
  I actually know someone this happened to. Dad came home and midway through changing got a call from his father in law and went to go help him, leaving his concealed carry weapon on the nightstand. Toddler son got a hold of it and killed himself. On the day before his slightly older sister's birthday.
  Kid was buried on the property, within sight of the front porch. Mom demanded that and then couldn't handle being there so they moved in with her folks for the next couple of years, and their living room was practically a shrine to the kid.
  
  Fuck That is a tragic story.
