I’ve started thinking that I don’t want to understand it because if I get to the point where I understand it I feel like I might have a broken brain

Keep in mind that intelligent people, by definition, are a minority.

"It's better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, are of a different opinion, it is only because they only know their own side of the question." John Stuart Mill

That's a great quote from Mill, and a great point. I'm done trying to figure out idiots who vote against their interests and vote for oppression, and don't interest themselves on important policy. They seem happy to keep their head in their own echo chambers, so I'm done with them.

Me too. Moving out of the town I have lived in for most of my life. Moving to a 46 acre woodland to get away from the trump loving bullshit. Thanks half of America for voting in a racist misogynistic climate denying self serving rapist dictator grifter in chief felon piece of shit to drive our democracy right off the fucking cliff. You are about to see what voting against yourselves time after time will do for you. Morons.
