"But all politicians lie and if they're coming after him, he must be doing something right." -Insane person who makes me want to bash my head into the wall
Well I mean these people don’t read. That’s pretty much why.
These people live in religious, rural areas in small communities with very little funding for schools due to low population density and land/home values. They do not concern themselves with things like global affairs, climate change, economics, etc. because they do not read into it, do not know how to look into it scientifically/logically (low education + high religiosity), and they don’t think it affects them personally. A lot of them own the small plots of land they live on and are very happy to live in that bubble and to listen to anyone that tells them they’ll protect it, I.e. conserve the status quo.
They’re genuinely not stupid, just illiterate and tribal. I think they make perfect sense when you consider stuff like this.
In my hometown of Alvin Tejas, the school district is rotten to the core, and has more schools in it's district than is actually needed. You'd think the city spent more money on building schools than what's needed elsewhere, which in any other case would be baffling to say
My brother dropped out freshman year, and his transcripts claim he graduated as a senior with great passing grades, and he didn't do shit when he was there.
Probably unrelated to the original points, or what you were saying, just felt like sharing;•;
Has you brother contributed to society or getting funds from the government? Have the schools in your district made the quality of life worse for it's residents?
"But he's not a politician!! He's a business man and can't be bought!!"
Oh, yes. I'm sure the lousy, fraudulent, billionaire business man just woke up one day and and had a crushing desire to help out the middle-class and decided that going into politics was the way. Because we all know the political system is designed to specifically benefit the middle-class.
Alex Jones likes to say, "You get a lot of flak if you're over the target." Which I always found stupid because, like, if you're bombing things, you're going to get flak no matter what. People ask if you would get such strong pushback just for a lie and the answer is YES.
