    Here we are, “Idiocracy .001”, folks. We are at the point where they haven’t even realized that they need a person with an actual brain. It will get worse, much worse. Maybe they will pick a pedophile for attorney general. Oh, wait.

    Remember that time when we elected a literal idiot to be president and a million Americans died because of how fucking stupid he was?

      We were averaging one 9/11 every three days during Trump’s pandemic. And that’s just counting the deaths directly attributed to COVID, with the CDC and a shitload of states playing “don’t test, don’t tell” plus the delayed deaths due to cardiac injury I’m betting the death numbers were closer to 5x reported.

      Not So Fun fact:

      Bird flu has killed 50% of the humans it’s infected so far, and that same idiot is going to be back in charge.

      And this time, our soon to be Secretary of Health has part of his brain eaten away by a worm.

      And then we prosecuted him for crimes, convicted him, and then sentenced him to live in government housing for the next 4 years?

      Shhh, everything I said is true don’t ruin it for me with facts.

      She probably won’t get one since she called out Laura Loomer for saying the quiet part out loud being too racist

      Wow, I wasn’t even paying attention to her. Looks like she and Lauren Bobblehead both kept their seats. I really think this election confirms that we’re in a simulation, and a drunk grad student just fucked with it.

      Well, as long as we fly out an antivaxxer in change of the only department that can ban existing vaccines, that should be fine.

        Well, as long as you have the money to pay for it yourself, you’re golden. This could decimate the Republican voting base forever though.

    Statistically for some of us it’s always been Idiocracy…

    It’s only takes two standard deviations above 100, before the difference between you and the average person, is the same as average person and someone with an intellectual disability.

    If you’re really unlucky you’re 3 standard deviations above and then like 80%+ of the population would be classified as having an intellectual disability if your IQ was the frame of reference instead of 100.

    And our own IQ is literally our own frame of reference…

    So yeah. At any given point in human history, roughly 2%, definitely 0.1% have been living in fucking Idiocracy, and nothing will ever make it better for them.

    Ignorance is bliss, because you never deal with someone that far below yourself, and you don’t notice the other person being that much higher.

    But 30 points is the line, because that’s where differences become apparent and one sided frustration common.
