It’s the Deep State’s fault! Look at them with their stupid rules about who gets to mint money. Trump needs more of your real money to help combat it! ---

> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > Guy buys a bunch of “Trump Bucks”, apparently falls on hard times… These people (a) vote against any sensible healthcare or social welfare system, (b) are stupid traitors who have been conned out of their money by scammers who may or may not be affiliated with the traitor-in-chief who attempted violent overthrow of our democracy. If they are removed from the voting pool by an early death because they have no money left to feed themselves or to obtain medical care in their dotage, all I can say is that this seems like a valid way for the democratic process to work. ---

Do any of these fucking morons who get scammed by Trump ever think: “Hey, that guy fucked me over. I will no longer support him because he’s someone who will fuck you over.” Nevermind, that would be a logical thought by someone stupid enough to be conned by Trump. My bad. They’d more likely write it up as some kind of UNFAIR conspiracy against Trump, their true hero. ---

> [@bobot](#): > > Do any of these fucking morons who get scammed by Trump ever think: “Hey, that guy fucked me over. I will no longer support him because he’s someone who will fuck you over.” You can see where they typically go from what the sucker said in the article - he’s realized it’s a con, so therefore he doesn’t think Trump is personally involved with it. Trump could literally shoot _him_ on Fifth Avenue in broad daylight and he’d still believe. ---

More of a rhetorical philosophical question, I guess. How in the hell has the process of evolution resulted in such stupid fucking humanity after all this time? Sweet water walking Jesus. ---

Hey, today it’s a two-fer! First, that passenger who opened the plane door 700 feet before touchdown? He just ["wanted to get off the plane](https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/26/asia/south-korea-plane-door-opens-midair-intl-hnk/index.html) quickly." And then there’s the [TikTok influencer](https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/27/asia/chinese-livestreamer-drinking-baijiu-intl-hnk/index.html) who livestreamed himself chugging enough alcohol to die. So much stupidity, so many stupid people, I can’t even come up with a pithily amusing comment. ---

> [@bobot](#): > > More of a rhetorical philosophical question, I guess. How in the hell has the process of evolution resulted in such stupid fucking humanity after all this time? Sweet water walking Jesus. I don’t regard this as a hijack, by the way, because stupid is the topic of the thread. I think it proves a few things. Ability to learn is not the same as learning. Ability to learn can atrophy through lack of use. Humans who don’t learn are among the more helpless of the creatures on this planet. ---

I hear what you’re saying, but it seems to me like you’re giving humans too much credit, for we are simply not keeping up with it. Evolutionary progress is leaving us dumbfucks in the dust. ---

> [@Riemann](#): > > You can see where they typically go from what the sucker said in the article - he’s realized it’s a con, so therefore he doesn’t think Trump is personally involved with it. To be fair, thanks to a forwarding account I set up during the last election, I get an awful lot of appeals from the Trump organization asking for donations and selling a lot of stuff. None of it has included the Trump Bucks or other crap mentioned in the article. On the other hand neither have I seen anything from him like, “Hey, those TRB ‘Trump Bucks’ ads you’ve been seeing? That’s not me.” ---

Not so much outpaced as used technology to short-circuit it, IMHO. People with low-survival traits such as stupidity and ignorance\* who would have been eliminated from the gene pool in times past are now able to survive and reproduce. Sounds cruel and heartless, I know … but Ma Nature has always been a cruel, heartless b\*\*\*h in that regard. \* Not the same thing: it is possible — though difficult — to cure ignorance; stupidity, on the other hand, is intrinsic. ---
