Is it possible to be dumb without knowing it?

[Awesomesauce2005]

Yes🥸

No🤓

I dont know because im dumb🤪

[FreyaRed]

Yes, dumb people are always 100% sure they are smart, while smart people are never sure whether they are or not

[douride2]

Yes & sadly I know a few of these types.

[douride2]

Thanks for a MHO.

[Anonymous]

Dumb people are often too dumb to know how dumb they are.

[Anonymous]

You just summed up 75% or more of the users on this website.

[butterly248]

Yes I think so. I've done it tbh and been told it many times

[Cormac995]

MAGA is the best proof that the answer to this is yes.

[Awesomesauce2005]

Are you sure you picked the right answer?

[Cormac995]

Sure, as shootin. I have3n't met a single one that wasn't an ignorant idiot at best and a fascist at worst.

[Awesomesauce2005]

How do you know they were ignorant? After all it is possible to be dumb without knowing it. Its better to make sure you have all the facts straight before you make assumptions 😁

[Cormac995]

I stand by what I said. Most of the Trump voters I met are completely and totally, geopolitically, economically and culturally ignorant. I fact I haven't met a single one yet that doesn't fit all three boxes. I'd like to think there's at least some trump voters that aren't complete idiots.

[Cormac995]

Alas I've been given nothing but proof to the contrary.

[Awesomesauce2005]

All of the trump supporters i have met have been way more civil with me than the other political side 🫢

[Cormac995]

In my experience both you guys and the left are animals. As far as I'm concerned your both a problem. Hell, the reason you idiots won was because the left did such a shit job spreading their message that they were better propaganda for trump than anything his entire press team drummed up. They did such a shit job and pushed so many stupid idea's they made that son of a bitch looks competent which he's not. You're lucky your candidate was running against someone so unlikable Trump has charisma I'll give him that but so do all tyrants.

[Awesomesauce2005]

Eh i dont like either party either, i just choose the lesser evil and that was trump 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Cormac995]

If you think the lesser evil was trump your stupid.

[Awesomesauce2005]

Since you seem to think Kamala Harris is the better option, please explain why

[Cormac995]

1. Doesn't want to be dictator.

2. Didn't want to rape the economy.

3. Didn't want to piss off every single one of our allies.

4. Would have supported Ukraine.

5. Would have supported Isreal and fighting Iran and HAMAS. Not by much but more than Trump.

6. Wouldn't be trying to gut the government to the point it doesn't even function anymore.

7. Wouldn't be trying to make cuts to SSI.

8. Wouldn't have elected someone so incompetent he had multiple securety leaks of classified information.

7. Would have placed people in positions of power based on merit not personal loyalty to the god king.

8. She didn't lie about reading the bible, hijack it to make a Trump brand Bible then spit on the Catholic church.

9. She didn't start a crypto coin scam

10. She wouldn't take bribes with Katar

[Cormac995]

11. She wouldn't have tried to run for an illegal 3rd term which Trump wants to.

12. Wouldn't have negotiated with a war criminal and former member of Al Kida legitimizing his rule which is being propped up by acts of genocide of ethnic Muslim and Christian minorities in Syria.

13. Wouldn't be doing this stupid golden dome bullshit. If it blocked ICBMs I'd be down but they're building it to fight hypersonic missels which we don't need to because we already have plenty of reaction time and the means to shoot them down already meaning this is a waste of taxpayer dollars.

14. She wouldn't have lied through her teeth about Ukraine aid and the numbers; trump can't even keep the numbers straight at one point he gave three different numbers in the same week all of which were overestimates by millions of dollars at best and billions at worst.

15. She wouldn't have tried to suspend Hapus Corpus.

16. She wouldn't be cozying up to Russia one of our nation's biggest enemies.

These are off the top of my head in 5 minutes I'm sure I can easily find more given time. Kamilia would have been a disaster two, but this is like comparing Pompe to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and saying they're the same thing. The democrats can't govern for shit but at least they don't want to coup our government.

[Awesomesauce2005]

I dont really see an issue with the way Trump is fixing our economy. We were slaves to all the other countries since we import most of our goods and he is trying to fix that. I especially dont like how we are so okay with buying products made by slaves in china. Personally i also dont see an issue with trump weakening our government, it has built up way too much power over the people and we can't hardly make our own mistakes anymore. People are imprisoned for things that shouldn't even be considered crimes since they didn't hurt or steal from anybody. Im not saying trump is the best but he is better suited to fix our economy than kamala or biden ever were just based on their background alone

[Awesomesauce2005]

Also i dont know why you think trump is trying to be a dick-tater because thats the whole reason he put heavy tariffs on China, they have control of 60% of our economy and they are a dictatorship so if they ever wanted to they could cut off supply to us and we would be sitting ducks

[Awesomesauce2005]

Can i ask what your sources are please?

[Cormac995]

The only country that was screwing us was China our trade agreements with Europe and our other allies were perfectly fine and fair dude. Sometimes a nation needs tariffs that's why we've had one on foreign sugar for decades. If we didn't American sugar farmers would get forced out of the market. Also, the reason nobody in Europe will by American chicken is because it violates EU safety regulations on food imports because we use so many chemicals. Further it would kill their domestic chicken market in Europe. Any European country that complied would be violating the law. You don't even know what a trade defecate is do you?

The reason the way Trump is trying to "Fix" the economy is stupid is because the American dollar is backed by two things and two things only. Faith in America and our military power projection. The reason we're a superpower is because the dollar is traded by everyone in the world and foreign governments keep money and gold in American banks but why would Europe trust and do business with a country that shit on them repeatedly?

Germany has pulled ALL of their gold out of American banks because of all this. The dollar is Feit money it's only as valuable as people believe it is so if no one trusts America which they don't nobody is going to want to use the dollar. Why would you want to trade in a currency that can be used to bully you? Further foreign countries are holding almost all of our debt in the form of government bonds which is helping to keep the country afloat in our massive debt, but you do realize if we piss them off enough, they could all just dump their bonds right? If they did that our dollar wouldn't even be worth a cent of what it is now. We're talking shit to people who have knives at our neck dude.

[Cormac995]

Global trade is a complicated web of deeply connected systems and supply chains and any disruption in them can give the economy a heart attack. Look at the DOW Jones. Every time that it goes back up when Trump drops Tariffs it never goes back up as high as it was prior. Every time Trump has placed a tariff it has hurt the DOW. www.msn.com/.../watchlist See? Every time it's going down since Biden it's not going back up as high as it was and I promise you this trend will continue as long as Trump keeps chest thumping Tariffs. By the way you do realize you are the one paying the tariffs, right? The foreign countries are paying jack shit dude tariffs are a tax that YOU pay.

Every time we place a tariff we hurt Europe every time we hurt Europe they hate us more and if they hate us why would they help us? Do you know what a trade deficit is? It's not a loss of money it means you're importing more GOODS than you're exporting and it's actually a sign of a healthier economy. We were already making a profit off of our trade deficit because what we import are raw materials that we then manufacture into products which we then export at a profit to the nation.

When we Tariff Mexico, we make the ball bearing we buy more expensive and when that happens it makes making cars more expensive and the more expensive things get the fewer people can afford to buy them which stalls the economy because people aren't spending money which is paying into the cycle of trade growth. Trump isn't fixing the economy. He's halted its growth and now he's beating it with a baseball bat and before you say it's brought back jobs well yes, it did. It's bringing back low paying manufacturing jobs that are going to be replaced by AI in 10 years at most. Further we are a service-based economy not an industrial one. Bringing industry back is going backwards.

[Cormac995]

Also Biden Grew the economy that's a statistical fact where as Trump is statistically proven to be hurting it. Numbers don't lie it doesn't matter what you think math is fact. Also this is a guy who had to file for bankruptcy with multiple CASINOS! Dude gambling is money printing in order for a casino to go under you have to really really fuck up. He's done nothing but lose all the money his daddy gave him get bailed out by the Russian oligarchs. He's asset rich yes but he's cash poor. He has nearly no fluid income it's why he had t crowd fund for his campaign even though supposedly he was rich. It's also why he did the Trump coin. He's a failure as a president and a failure as a businessman.

As for making cuts to the government yes I agree it does have too much power but Trump is gutting the wrong things the wrong way. For example US aid. Yes it spent millions on stupid shit but millions are pennies in the scale of America's multi trillion dollar yearly budget. Yes paying for protests and sex change surgeries is stupid but you know what else US aid does? They perform free surgeries on poor people in third world countries that save lives. They treat and help reduce the spread of aids. They bring water to people dying of thirst and medicine to epidemics.

[Cormac995]

Making cuts to stupid spending in US aid I approve of. Freezing the entire program and trying to gut the whole thing is VERY different and that sums up every cut that they have made so far. One big broad stroke slamming everything to a complete halt and stalling the government in a locked position. Further what he did to US aid wasn't even legal. US aid was created by congress and the executive branch does not have the legal authority to suspend programs made by congress. His executive order was constitutionally illegal. He's also still deporting people after the supreme court ordered him to stop which is again illegal. He had to go through the checks and balances first before he was allowed to circumvent their ruling and he didn't.

[Cormac995]

As for why I'm worried about Trump being a dictator hmm let me think... OH YEA JAN 6TH!!! Further he's gutting all leadership positions in places like the military, supreme court and senate and replacing them with people who are unqualified and have no experience they're simply loyal to Trump. Every single dictator in history has done this. Yes it's normal to replace Some people but this goes beyond that, this is a purge he's replacing every single person he possibly can with someone loyal to him.

He's ignoring orders from the other branches of government which again dictators do and he's trying to force the bible back into the school system which is constitutionally illegal and a violation of church and state laws. He made a Trump brand bible FFS. He lies constantly and he uses the media that likes him as a weapon while hunting any media that fights him. Trust me I've seen it from all sides. I watch FOX, CCN, and multiple independent annalists for all of this and the left and the right are both lying through their filthy teeth right now to the point it's ridiculous.

He loves Putin, He loves Kim and he's trying to open up trade deals with Russia which by the way has nothing we need at all. US latching onto their economy would hurt the value of the dollar. He also won't shut up about annexing Canada and Greenland and has threatened to use military force to do so and dictators are by their nature expansionists. The only country we actually have a legal Cassius Belle on are Iran, Panama and Russia.

[Cormac995]

Canada and Greenland have done nothing that would be legal for us to declare war on the international stage and further the rest of NATO by treated would be required to attack us and us against all of NATO is not a sure win and would end in such a blood bath all nations would be scared for the next four decades at least and it would cause such a massive hit to the population that it would drive the nations pop growth demographics for such a loop it could doom us like Russia has done.

The only way from a mathematical perspective to preserve the Russian ethnicity after how many men Putin has sent to the meat grinder is to take away woman body rights and force them to be artificially inseminated. Iran is illegally building nuclear weapons and Panama broke the treaty we signed with them about the canal remaining neutral when they partook in china's belt and road initiative. They actually owe us back the canal now because they broke the treaty. Legally it's no longer theirs. Any invasion of Greenland or Canada would be an illegal war.

[Cormac995]

As for my sources almost all of it is Trumps own godamn mouth and actions just look it up on youtube but don't just look at it from like fox or something look for a left a right and a center take on it ideally you'd find some indi as well. As for my sources on much of the econemics stuff that's more complicated to show you because a lot of this is covered in a few specific streams I've seen done on enforcer news months ago and they post 6 days a week twice so digging those specific ones out is not really possible without spending as much as weeks potentially since each stream is like at least 2 and a half hours but these things about economics can be studied in a number of places the trick is finding a politically unbiased take which at the end of the 90% are the only ones telling the truth. The moment politics becomes part of the equation people never stop lying.

[Cormac995]

Oh and he also said he wants to illegally annex Gaza take it over and ethnically cleanse it.

[Awesomesauce2005]

by the way January 6th has been blown out of proportion. One police officer died of a heart attack and they let the people in, nobody forced their way into the capital. Also the American dollar isn't based on "faith" its based on how much money the federal reserve prints. Right now the economy isn't doing so good because we are attempting to restructure and reinvigorate our industrial power due to the importation of goods making it harder for American companies to survive. I am very much aware that the tariffs are coming out of my pocket but unlike most people im playing the long game with the stock market. People who trade stocks daily think the stock market looks terrible right now while in actuality its on sale. Im currently invested in berkshire hathaway and some nuclear energy companies because thigs are about to get expensive for a while since we dont have the infrastucture in place for manufacturing the products we use everyday so im investing in things that people will always need. Tarrifs are supposed to level the playong field for American buisnesses since we have to actually pay the workers to make our products instead of having slaves in china do it. I dont believe that tump would try for a 3rd term because he never said he would and the government has more power over him than you might think. He has to be careful not to do anything to extreme or the fbi will hire someone to try and assassinate him again.

[Cormac995]

Yes he did say he would tryn for a third term! Multiple times in fact! Just look it up! Also I love how you adressed only one part of my argument because you Thought you could counter but you're wrong. When the Tariffs are over the economy will recover some, but it will never recover to even close of what it was before by the time this is over for decades. It doesn't matter if you invest 1000 to make 100,000 if the dollar is so devalued you still lost money. What you are saying is stupid and uninformed so you can't touch a single thing I've said and made one single argument to counter dozens of points I've made which further is an argument you're just wrong about and I already explained why from multiple angles. If you really Trust, his business sense so much then invest in Trump coin I'll laugh my ass off when you're crying in a coffeezilla episode. In other words, just like I said you're ignorant and all you've done is prove my point. Also, you're description of Jan 6th is a propaganda take dumbass. Get out of your fucking bubble.

[jahaims]

Most dumb people don't know it

[EmmiL]

Yes totally
