    yeeess, yeees, good. engage in eugenics and make dumb the norm, allow yourself to be outbred and follow every social media trend, unquestioning as to its motives or if it’s legitimate.

      make dumb the norm

      That’d be a huge improvement over where we’re at now:

      ^evil is the norm.

      Trump’s 1st victory, sure we could give the benefit of the doubt and blame it on a combination of stupidity and shit like the electoral college. But then we all saw 4 years of him attacking our country from the oval office, and another 4 years of hearing his Nazi rhetoric… and people fucking it. It isn’t just stupid… those 74 million voters have eyes and ears, and weren’t born the day before the election - they knew exactly what they were voting for. Trump’s message of harming thy neighbor resonates with the average voter.

      …if humanity were just stupid but not evil, that’d be a borderline utopia compared to what we’re about to plunge into.
