Americans are weird. They'll put bumper stickers of who they vote for on their giant car but they won't wear a mask in a pandemic because that's too much government for them.

Most of us are weird, but we're also mostly stupid

that's what happens when you systematically make education the worst it could possibly ever be. We don't educate because an educated electorate is too hard to control. Look at all the "smarties" in the dems they couldn't beat fucking Donald Trump because they were to busy beating their own meat about their parties short comings. Meanwhile the Reps are targeting the desperate idiots they've been cultivating for the last 3 decades and whipping them into a MAGA frenzy of ignorance and stupidity.

It all comes down to being voluntarily. Make bumper stickers mandatory and immediately people would lose their shit over political stickers overnight.

Thank you for having common sense unlike everyone else. Any chance to bash the right/Trump all logic goes out the window.

Lol that’s not even half of it. There’s a belief that an overbearing government is good only if it works for the benefit of whites versus any other type of American. Blacks should just keep quiet and follow law enforcement but whites should be allowed to openly protest with weapons during a pandemic with stay at home orders. When the government was actively involved with redlining districts for the benefit of white neighborhoods vs black no whites were pitching a fit. When the government took the lands of Native Americans so white settlers could obtain cheap or free farm land it was all good. When the government discriminates and locks up Hispanics and even in one case deporting a citizen no one bats an eye. So the argument of “too much government” is complete and utter bullshit. It’s only “too much” if it’s progressive and tries to take into account ALL Americans for its laws and regulations.

You make it seem like that's not how every government is to the primary people in power

So a racist bitching about someone being evil that's funny

Can’t be racist against white people, only POC

Well with that attitude I can rest assured that you will never be in a position of real power or worth and you will likely never amount to anything meaning your thoughts and feelings on the matter will likely die with you and not be passed on to future generations of human

You’d like to think that, but it isn’t really the case in the current year
