"I'm amazed at the degree to which MAGA is stating, out loud, that its goal is corporate feudalism and the elimination of social mobility. Education will be unaffordable and restricted to the rich, while the rubes (MAGA) will do grueling work in state approved factories generation after generation.
These morons still haven't figured out that 'owning the libs' actually ends with them being owned by the rich and powerful." - WaPo Comment
"Thankfully, most Canadians have IQs over room temperature digits and didn't buy the BS of that fool, Pierre Poilievre!"
Janice squealed in delight after learning Liberal party leader Mark Carney trounced the Conservo hack Poilievre in the Canadian national elections Monday. For Poilievre, the Conservative party’s stinging defeat was compounded by the fact that he lost his seat, which he had held continuously for 20 years, to the Liberal candidate.
Carney, an economist who was running in national elections for the first time in his life, had targeted the American felon and traitor Trump and his relentless threats on Canada, America’s closest ally and trading partner. The orange pestilence imposed tariffs on Canadian goods, pushing the country toward a recession, and repeatedly threatened to annex it as the 51st state.
Incredibly, even as Canadians were heading to the polls on Monday morning, this fungal fuckwit repeated that desire, arguing on social media that it would bring economic and military benefits. So in many ways, Carney's critical win (which has Trumper trolls weeping at not being able to get a 'Trump' clone in Canada) has Trump himself to thank. As well as Poilievre himself who in the home stretch couldn't resist vowing to crush "wokeism" and "woke ideology" in the universities.
Poilievre, who - like Trump - railed against “radical woke ideology,” pledged to defund Canada’s national broadcasting system and said he would cut foreign aid. That blather caused him to lose a majority of independents and centrists - unlike here in the U.S. - where egg prices, inflation drove the ninnies to voting in the felon.
Ultimately, all Poilievre's woke bilge and banter did is remind intelligent Canadians of the orange reprobate they were against - and his constant threats to their beautiful, sane country - which we have visited multiple times, e.g.
Meanwhile, in a header yesterday, we learned that most of the 77 million Trump voters are indeed "a pack of idiots" as Janice describes them, e.g.
77 million Americans voted for Trump. After 100 days, few of them regret it. | Opinion
So even as the nation is being destroyed piece by piece these asswit orange felon cultists would do it again - vote into power an unqualified, unhinged traitor (Jan. 6th insurrectionist pardoner) and felon. These cockeyed cultist dopes, once irate over the cost of groceries, said they are willing to give Trump "a long runway to figure things out". Newsflash, dolts, there isn't a "runway" long enough - in space or time - to allow that. The global economy and this nation will be destroyed first and one of the first signs will be the empty store shelves that manifest in a few weeks. Do these halfwits even know why? Likely not, so the higher IQs among them ought to see Jeffrey Sach's brutal takedown of their favorite fool and his tariffs:
If that's too much to handle, NYT David Brooks' recent summation ought to suffice, assuming these losers have attained at least 12th grade reading level. Brooks writes:
"I’ve covered a lot of policies over the decades, some of which I supported and some of which I opposed. But I have never seen a policy as stupid as Trump’s tariff policy. It is based on false assumptions. It rests on no coherent argument in its favor. It relies on no empirical evidence. It has almost no experts on its side — from left, right or center. It is jumble-headedness exemplified. Trump himself personifies stupidity’s essential feature — self-satisfaction, an inability to recognize the flaws in your thinking. .. Producing something this stupid is not the work of a day; it is the achievement of a lifetime — relying on decades of incuriosity, decades of not cracking a book, decades of being impervious to evidence."
As a basis for assuming low IQs among these 77 million unrepentant voters, I note that none are remotely aware of the impossibility of manufacturing on a wide scale ever coming back to the U.S. I mean, seriously? Do these goobers truly believe Americans will be content sewing Nike sneakers, i.e. like this scene from a clever Chinese video mocking U.S. workers:

Of course, like mindless, low IQ dummies they believe every word he utters - even after he played them in the '24 election. Believing he'd bring prices of groceries down "the first day" even when he telegraphed all the way through his campaign he was bent only on retribution.
Another basis for a sound assumption of low IQs among these 77 m voters. Just over 3 weeks ago Trump announced he would pause or lower his country-specific tariffs for scores of nations that want to "kiss his ass" - even as a bond market selloff forced the fucker to get real.
Yet his followers believed it was merely "a stunt to get countries to come to the table and ultimately will bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S.".
This shows me the Trumpers have no comprehension of the bond market, how it functions and how it trumps a loudmouth, stupid senile orange know it all. It also shows me these losers have no comprehension of how difficult it would be to bring any scale of manufacturing back to this country. As a recent WSJ article ('What Tariffs Mean For The Job Market', April 12-13, p. A7) noted:
"A fairly simple, midsize factory would cost a minimum of $25 million and take around two years to build"
A much larger factory, say that would even employ 1,000 workers, could take a decade and nearly $100b to build. This according to markets specialist Stephanie Ruhle. Thus as the WSJ piece adds, given new tariffs would also be added to the expense - given so many materials would have to come from abroad:
"There's no certainty that new factories would pay back their investment over time."
Can any of the Trump cult yahoos grasp that? Doubtful. That's because their brains are more entranced by Dotard's braggadocio and bombast. His entire talent embodies using his 'Barnum and Bailey' carny barker voice to dog whistle his morons into belief.
The op-ed piece showing that most of the 77 m voters would do it again - even seeing the carnage that's arrived - proves my point. No awareness, no critical reasoning ability or even modest ability to link cause and effect. In other words, seriously low IQ.
Former megachurch pastor John Pavlovitz summed up these fools, twits and derelicts better than I can. He write on his Substack page a take that distinctly transfers an Old Testament attitude toward supporters of President Donald Trump.
"They shunned their responsibility as Americans, they rejected the teachings of their faith tradition, and they abandoned any kind of moral footing by enabling the ascension of a felon-rapist-scumbag mobster who lacks a single noble impulse. Through whatever combination of racism, misogyny, prejudice, intellectual ignorance, and plain old hatred, they willfully coronated him."
Bingo. Pavlovitz argues that Trump supporters have had all sorts of chances to correct course over the years despite seeing the president's cruelty and his authoritarian aspirations close. As Joe Biden once put it: "Garbage", aka lowlifes.
As a bonus here's a cross-section of thirteen of these morons:

Mayhap these Trumper Troglodytes believe they are 'cool' and no adverse carnage will ever happen to them, if they're citizens. If they believe that they need to watch this segment from last night's Rachel Maddow show:

Opinion | The bond market just sent a big warning for Trump - The Washington Post
Excerpt:
“Investors started dumping U.S. government bonds. They sold and sold and sold. This is not normal. Typically, U.S. government bonds are a safe haven. Whenever stocks tank or there’s turmoil around the world, investors rush to buy plain vanilla bonds from the U.S. Treasury. It’s the equivalent of chicken soup for unhealthy markets. But suddenly, those bonds turned bitter. Ultimately, Trump caved to the bond markets. He didn’t want to follow the fate of British Prime Minister Liz Truss, who resigned in humiliation in 2022 after a similar bond market fiasco in reaction to her policies.
This unsleeping, unfeeling, unsentimental voting bloc forced Trump to change course on his tariff tornado. Other forces sagged into exhaustion in the face of Trump’s obsession, but the votes of the bond markets kept piling up, second by second, hour by hour, day by day. Forget about memes, sick burns and capital letters on Truth Social. The market eschews parades and petitions and marathon speeches. It is an endless murmur of individual transactions, each one a vote, and a landslide swept Trump away.
Trump and his team tried to happy-talk their way past the stock market collapse, but the tireless voters weighed in. His attempt to brush off his defeat in the bond markets by saying that traders had gotten “yippy” fell flat. This is the world’s infrastructure of finance we’re talking about, and it’s built on the value of government promises. Yips have nothing to do with it.
And the pillar of this infrastructure is the credibility of the United States.”

See no evil, hear no evil, admit no evil — the close-minded cult of suckered MAGA monkeys
Inspired by Marc Antony’s lament in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar
Friends, patriots, countrymen, where are your ears?
We come to bury Trumpism, not praise it.
The evil that men do lives after them,
Ballooning the horrors done when alive.
Scores of perfidy-drenched enablers
Declare this “caesar” MAGA’s messiah.
Blind faith sabotages our secular world,
Liberated from eye-rolling fables.
Of all infamous souls breathing today,
Who violates more Ten Commandments,

Wake up, America! While we’ve been distracted by the daily chaos of the Trump administration, something far more sinister has taken root in our country. It’s called Structural Eugenics (and a hat-tip to Qasim Rashid for putting this on my radar), and if you’re not furious about it yet, you damn well should be.
This isn’t some fringe conspiracy theory: it’s a coordinated assault on our most vulnerable citizens happening in broad daylight with deadly consequences.
Let’s be brutally honest here: the MAGA movement isn’t just pushing bad policy, they’re implementing a modern form of eugenics through selective attention and neglect.
Consider what the Trump administration is obsessively tracking: They’re monitoring autistic children, trying to build databases of women’s menstrual cycles, creating blacklists of anyone who criticizes Trump or questions Israeli policies, surveilling transgender Americans, and targeting anyone who dares mention diversity or inclusion.
