  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Republicans have a hard time understanding nonliterals, it's honestly weird and one of the most common denominators between them I've noticed

They seem to be fine with euphemisms and dog whistles.

Maybe willfully ignorant is a better way to put it

Weird to think that human civilization will collapse out of a misplaced sense of fairness where we think it's better for uninformed people to have a choice even if that choice dooms us all. Liberalism is going to collapse in the silliest way

The goal should be to have less uninformed people overall by educating the population. But unfortunately the people in charge keep voting against funding education (and basically anything beneficial to society).

That is because it's beneficial to their bottom line.

Capitalism wants an uneducated voter base, we can import educated people for jobs

Every one who wants something other then what i want is uninformed.

To the uninformed, no representation for you. Get over it. Go to therapy to cope with your new forever.

Yeah when it comes to fascism, climate change denial, failing to meet the basic needs of citizens, and other conservative platforms, I don't give a shit about their representation
