I didn't realize how stupid people really were

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

Until last year when they no kidding thought Trump gave them those stimulus checks, I am not saying that Biden should have his name on the next round of checks, because it was dumb when Trump did it...I am just pointing out that people are really dumb and I can see some people saying “Trump gave me two checks, Biden hasn’t gave me anything” and then when someone points out that Biden gave them the third check, they will “No, that came from some lady name Janet Yellen”

1. Sad but true. nt

2. To quote George Carlin:

“You know how stupid the average person is. Well, half of them are stupider than that.”

[wellst0nev0ter]

3. Democrats are really inept at promoting their political wins

They have this dumb notion that you must take politics out of politics.

And thanks to that, the average voter has trouble saying what Democrats have done for them.

Don't be afraid to own political victories and politicize on them.

4. I Realized DECADES Ago...........

............that about 90% of the population is so stupid that I don't know how they find their way home at night.

[BigmanPigman]

6. Me too...I think that's why I said tRump would win

as soon as I saw him on that golden escalator. When GOP voters realized the ACA was the same as Obamacare my opinion was confirmed. When it was about to be taken away from them they finally woke up and smelled the coffee.

14. Some are so stupid that if they had to decide for themselves...

...whether to breathe in first or out first, they would die before they could decide.

5. This is sad

but true.

7. My nephew gives credit to trump for the $1400 because it was all trump's idea.

The rest of the bill is "Pelosi and Sleepy Joe, spending his tax money!". My nephew is full-on in Qcult and trump cult. I have very little contact with him these days, which makes me very sad. He can still be the sweet boy I helped raise, yet spews all the trump and Q stuff... Then next, the loving nephew I recognize, then he's a horror show of verbatim Q or trump trash. It's a really horrible situation and very emotionally complicated. It makes me cry a lot. I know how he got to where he is, and his mother, my sister, is the major factor. She and I no longer speak and I'm fine with that, actually relieved. But, my nephew has a place in my heart, and it's breaking.

12. It's so frustrating because they absolutely do not live the actual world of reality ...

They're off living in a carefully curated freaking fantasy world, and they just don't care what is real and what is not ... if they'll even listen to you at all.

I don't even talk to those people anymore, I can't take it.

It's like they've been subsumed into some weird hive mind. This goes back way before Trump, too ... they ALL 'argue' in the exact same way, never admitting to any point that you make, no matter how much proof you offer, they'll always just change the subject, move the goalposts, attack you personally, etc. They're like programmed to never, ever admit to someone else (well, anyone they think is liberal) having made a valid point/argument ... when it's counter to what they're programmed.

It's honestly super-creepy and weird, and I just don't do it unless I have no choice.

Sorry 'bout your nephew though, sounds heartbreaking

8. There and just millions and millions of incredibly stupid people. n/t

[brewens]

9. '"He couldn't take the time to sign checks for the American people!" That's one to watch for.

It really wouldn't surprise me.

[unblock]

10. They will insist it's another check from Donnie

And they'll say Biden was being partisan for taking Donnie's name off it.

[DBoon]

11. "It's a dumb world out there"

[JI7]

13. The media thought it was cute .If a Democrat did it they would report it as if it

was a scandal.

[Talitha]

15. Goobers are beyond help.

[rickyhall]

16. They need to wear signs.

They don't all wear MAGA hats, but none wear masks.

[Midnight Writer]

17. It's just like "Keep the government away from my Medicare!"

Politicians don't get points for preventing a crisis.

They get points for solving a crisis.

Biden (and Democrats over all) is in a good position politically, because he is positioned to solve what only idiots don't see as a Trump crisis.

But we do need to get that message out.

We should use their technique. Every media appearance by every Democrat should a) point out a feature of the Covid Relief Bill and b) point out that every single Republican voted against it.

Repeat over and over until everyone is sick of hearing it.

[radius777]

18. Trump got all the credit for the CARES act which

was fundamentally a Dem/left/FDR type of policy crafted by Pelosi et al in the House.

This is why we need groups like The Lincoln Project because they put forth hard hitting messaging that Dems for the most part simply are not good at.

19. Blissful Americans

[raccoon]

20. I didn't realize it either, until so many supported the Dotard

And put him in the WH. And we’re just fine and dandy with all the other things he did.

Oh in the way so many people reacted to the Covid.

[Kid Berwyn]

21. Some Americans think New Mexico is part of Mexico.

They denied another American’s right to vote, too.

[Klaralven]

22. AFAIK, it works like this

The US Treasury sells notes and bonds to various individuals, organizations, foreign banks, and the Federal Reserve.

The US Treasury deposits the proceeds of the sale of bonds in its account at the Federal Reserve.

The US Treasury writes checks or initiates electronic funds transfers from the account at the Federal Reserve to various payees.
