Well I wasn't wrong about idiocracy. There is no cure for it especially in an age that openly celebrates and basks in stupidity and ignorance. We now let the chips fall where they may with more talk of sharks and batteries for good measure.
This election was about problems that have been building for decades starting in the 1990's under Neoliberal ideals. Today people are scared and worried about their future and thus more susceptible to despots even one as miserably and grotesquely incompetent as Trump.
We've seen this before in history and usually it's messy but the silver lining might be the errors made during this presidency will allow millenials and GenZ to formulate plans and ideas for the world to come assuming we don't blow ourselves up first.
I always have hope that there are enough people out there intelligent enough not to be fooled by rhetoric but am often proven wrong. But in fairness to the electorate they felt their fortunes were not doing well under a capitalist system that is waning in its bloated state. The little guy is losing out and they are willing to take risks that may yet bite them in the behind.
Unfortunately, some of the buffoons about to be put into key positions will show their ineptitude rather quickly. Get ready for RFK in charge of health.
No matter what, an overhaul in America was long being called for and so, for mostly worse in the interim, here it is.
At the very least the late night comics will get new material.
