The stupid, it burns!

Oh, we're in trouble now. 

Trump is babbling about windmills again:

I’m normally against high taxes but I think we could balance the budget here via a 100-percent levy on morons

And Musk is obsessed with UK politics now: And now Jordan Peterson is talking to Pierre Poilievre: two bricks short of a load:

Absolutely batshit that Pierre Poilievre, who will probably be our next PM, is sitting down with present-day far-right grifter Jordan Peterson. The alarm bells couldn’t blare any louder, folks!!!!!!

Two middle-aged white guys telling themselves there was no racism in Canada until "wokeism" imported it is just so patently absurd as to be comedic. Someone needs to call Poilievre on it.

Finally, here is a fascinating thread about "low-information" people (who really do sound like conservative voters!):

[They] have no understanding of unintended consequences. They can only see the result they want from any proposed actions. They dismiss any counterarguments of possible, or likely, unintended consequences as ‘being negative’.
That's an excellent description of the thinking of the highly educated professional managerial class and the billionaires they report to. "Move fast and break things" is the motto of tech oligarchs, not the low info voter.

So all "low information" voters need is a life time of therapy? in the next voting cycle? unsolicited? from their perceived enemy? over a coffee somewhere?
"Buckle Up we're fucked indeed"
On the other hand
Zero of our noobs answer the question "What is your home country? or What nationality are you?" with I am Canadian.
Or have any answer to "You have been here years name a Canadian friend."
We soon forget that every Canadian benefit was put in place over 150 years and the new entitled milk it like we are servants and fools.
Few try to fit in and seek out their own culture, clothes food and neighborhoods, nurture home country grievances. Every small business owned by a "nationality" becomes an exclusive one tribe operated business. They are never built, they are always bought by "poor" refugees.
I guess the same applies
Buckle Up we're .......

to lungta - "Few try to fit in ...". That's almost ways been the case for 1st generation immigrants. At the same time, "real Canadians" have not always been all that accepting of that 1st generation of immigrants that are probably "shell shocked" at the new culture they suddenly find themselves in. It wasn't that long ago that "real Canadians" were not all that accepting of Heebs, Chinks, Wops and Micks. Most immigrants nowadays "fit-in" by the 2nd generation.
