They've seen this happen before during Trump's first term and still voted for him. This time it's on them, I wouldn't help them because they might end up doing the same stupid mistake again and again.
So you choose to laugh at their misery and leave them in the dust. Good luck in the next election.
Just to be clear: I criticize your willingness to dig further trenches while being on the losing side. This won't help you. This won't help them either. Work on that "Us vs. Them". They do it too, and it's hurting everyone.
Keep calling them idiots. Maybe that'll show them. Or maybe you'll get the same results again and again by being elitist.
We'll get the same results because people, on the whole, are stupid and/or racist.
"You should stop saying that! You'll upset stupid and racist people!"
I will? Fucking good. Decent people have spent far too long tiptoeing around, trying to avoid offending idiots and racists. It's time to call that shit out where it stands.
You can't teach upset people to be smart and tolerant. The only thing you can teach upset people is to listen to their feelings. And feelings are idiotic if not properly trained.
The only thing that's separating us from humans 10,000 years ago is society and education. And each of those need to be taught to everyone for best results, or most people for an okay world like ours.
If most people indeed are racist and stupid (I like the "or" part implying racist people aren't stupid), and there is nothing to be done, then why are you angry? Just be racist and stupid against other racist stupids. Bash in some heads. Get your head bashed in in revenge. Worked for literal millennia. It's stupid, but well, there always were more people.
I like the notion that people can be taught way better.
Harris, Biden, and the steelworker's union opposed this deal too.
Uhh
The entire article is about how much of the steelworkers' union is upset because they want this deal.
Uhh

It's self-inflicted misery. Have you ever taught a class? It's like giving your students a single exam with one simple yes/no question. They had eight long years to study for it and it was open book yet they still failed. You did everything you could to give them the right answer but they still didn't give a shit and failed it anyway. Now the school's burning and you want me to go back in there and teach these idiots a remedial class? Fuck. No.
They need to figure it out on their own and no pleading and trying to be understanding will help.
Have you ever taught a class and came to that result? If yes, please change careers.
Also the school isn't burning. It falls apart because it wasn't on the money IV the private schools get. The principal might be embezzling. Still not the fault of the students.
You don't want to teach them? I know of some prominent figures that do. They don't share your viewpoints.
