At minimum 4% of USA citizens are complete monsters with hate in their hearts. It’s actually much higher, but for sure we say that 4% are awful people.

33% of a country are always Authoritarians. Those are the people who vote to end democratic rule and install dictatorships.

This sums up the recent election results in the German states Brandenburg, Thüringen and Sachsen, unfortunately.

I highly recommend that book. Lays out the problems with RWAs (right wing authoritarians).

7% of the 40% are the foolish following the dark triads.

4% is around the lizardman constant.

More than that, the percentage of voters who opposed ending segregation was surprising.

I suppose we could start with ‘the states that literally fought a war and killed their countrymen to keep humans as pets’, though there’s spillover.

There’s some info stickers the Harris campaign sells if you want to help lower that for the people around you. Or at least increase the number of unfavorable view of it

(Can also make your own stickers like that too)

There’s also apparently an audiobook recording on YouTube, for if you wanna be mad while exercising or something.

This should be amended to say that “Republicans support Project 2025, look it up”

Agreed, but there are a lot of low-information voters out there who have probably never heard of it because they don’t follow political news closely.

We should take that 4% and put them on a remote island. We don’t need to bother shipping over food, I’m sure their God will provide it for them and they’ll all get to live in a blissful paradise.

If Trump doesn’t want to join the next debate it should be Kamala Harris arguing point to point against Project 2025 during the time slot. I would watch that.

She should also spend some time tying Project 2025 to dimbulb donnie, too. He keeps claiming he “doesn’t know her” when it comes to Project 2025, but that’s nonsense.

Project 2025 has a 57% unfavorable rating, but the party that endorses it does not.

Curious.

Fans of the Leopards Eating Faces Party don’t like it when it’s their faces being threatened.

(They’ll still vote for them, though.)

You hit the nail on the head. Fans.

They support the team even when it loses. Never mind It’s their own rights and lives that are being lost. Gang gang gang.
