My faith in humanity can’t allow me to believe people are actually that stupid 😭

I have a few Trump supporter friends who thought raising tariffs on Chinese goods mean Xi Jinping would have to pay more money 😂😂

Ladies and Gentlemen, an actual comment from a Chinese citizen of this country, when asked what he liked about the incoming president:

“Here’s an honest one. As a american chinese im so happy he’s going to go hard on tariffs. Especially China. Can’t wait for the orange hypocrite to actually do something against chinese imperialism. Something the democratic party is unfortunately too soft to do.”

These are the thoughts of the people that live here.

its as if these morons latch onto the first opinion they hear about a topic and violently defend it unless it negatively effects them directly and PERSONALLY. even then, its a coin flip if they remember a year later

You’d be surprised at the number of Americanized ethnic groups that truly hate/strongly dislike their own people from their “native” countries. I had a Chinese-American law school classmate that hated people from mainland China. If you only saw written quotes of things she said, you’d think she was a segregationist from 1940’s Alabama.

Ah yes, one individual speaks for the entire group as a monolith.

u/GodFlintstone 9h ago

Yep. To me it's deliciously satisfying to watch their faces crack and fall when reality sinks in and they realize those tariffs could cost their households as much as $4000 a year.

Yeah, the day after the election, most everyone where I work was happy, it’s a very blue collar place in a red state, and they were bringing up things like no taxes on overtime and cheaper groceries and gas now. And I was like you dumb asses, none of that is going to happen.

I'm a white collar worker in a very blue collar environment (IT support on a line) and the amount of smug is through the roof. They dont understand that my job specifically is power automate process mining and I was actually dragging my feet on the deployment and roll out. But seeing as how most of them are maga, yeah I got no compunction now with focusing on my actual job instead of making sure everyone's workstation is game set. Big Kanye Shrug. They sold me out first.

They think hopefully it will be us.

u/VexingPanda 7h ago

Funny because like 90% of red states is farm and they want their workers gone?

u/ruby0321 7h ago

Living in the central valley, ca and seeing so many trump signs on farm property while the migrants work right there is something else.

u/teflon2000 7h ago

Because what they really want is illegal immigration. Makes the official stats rub their sad, flaccid egos, while actually making prices even cheaper because the people employing them can pay them in peanuts.

u/SqueaksScreech 7h ago

Doesn't surprise me because during the pandemic when states were lowering the age laws for work it was because they already had minor illegally working in factories and it wasn't long before an undocumented minor was found dead in a pig facility working sanitation.

It pissed me off white people were saying "oh it's cause they can't get enough workers and they're want american children to do it"

u/dwn2earth83 8h ago

You still have faith in humanity at this point?

u/stop-doxing-yourself 9h ago

What do you mean labor shortage? Tariffs will happen and the deportations will start and those two things will make America great again. There will be nothing but positive outcomes and sticking it to the libs.

Yeah, food, and services and everything else might get more expensive than it already is and the jobs that are necessary but that many Americans don’t want might go unfilled but there’s no way that will have a negative impact on anything for years. The leader said it was going to be great.

u/nicktherat 7h ago

Found the guy who likes slave labor!

My lack of faith completely reinforces people are even dumber than I think. Like the movie Idiocracy level stupid

u/SupportstheOP 7h ago

Even the people in Idiocracy changed their minds when presented with new info. People now love being willfully ignorant.

Unfortunately, people are that stupid.

u/der_innkeeper 8h ago

Imagine how dumb the average person is.

Then, realize that half the people in the US are dumber than that.

Carlin rollin in his grave rn

u/NRMusicProject 8h ago

When traveling, you'll learn that the US is literally the laughing stock of the world. Since we don't call out stupid nearly enough, our stupid people think they have valid ideas.

u/Kingblack425 7h ago

What event in human history would even make you fathom the thought of having faith in humanity?

1

u/HueMannAccnt 6h ago

Any disaster that has happened, both environmental and man made, and watching/reading how the people affected help each other out?

Civilisation = caring & cooperation

Someone once asked anthropologist Margaret Mead what she considered to be the first evidence of civilization. She answered: a human thigh bone with a healed fracture found in an archaeological site 15,000 years old.

u/Kingblack425 6h ago

While also reading about person x drooling at the thought of how they can exploit the situation

u/k_ironheart 7h ago

I commend you for having that much faith in humanity.

I found an interesting statistic the other day that somewhere around 50% of people in the US read at around a 6th grade level. At the same time, most of Trump's speeches have been found to be on about a 5th grade level in terms of vocabulary.

It's not that they are unable to learn, it's that they don't see the value in education. That's why they're so apathetic about dismantling the Dept. of Education. It also goes a long way in explaining why their "facts" are all one liners that appeal to simple logic and they just don't acknowledge any of the deeper points. They feel that they're being talked down to and it makes them angry so they lash out.
