The president is a master of ‘look over there’ – but not when his supporters’ core beliefs about the ‘deep state’ are in play

    I’m honestly surprised to learn that USA people care about deep state more than egg price. Is USA people too rich or too dumb?

      A solid chunk of folks are propagandized to the point where they outwardly care more about the deep state shit, but if ya get them talking and cut through the bullshit they probably care more about the price of eggs and whatnot. Part of the problem is that they have somehow convinced themselves that the two are linked.

      There are a lot of DEEPLY stupid people, well, probably in every country, but certainly, there are a lot here that have made things like where trans people relieve themselves and “men in women’s sports” and scaravans shown on Faux News, and schools/movies/TV being “too woke” a primary concern of theirs.

      I’m not sure how any of this affects them in their daily lives, but they sure seem to think it’s a big deal. All it takes is just enough of these stupid people to be convinced that Biden had “the worst economy ever” (lol, WUT) and these dingbats vote for Taco and happily fuck themselves really hard.
