    Yes certainly but the general population are not morons and calling them that is defeatism. The rugged individualism bit sucks ass and you’re damn right but that can be worked on. I take offense at diminishing the public to idiots is all.

      I just want to point out that I wasn’t the person calling them morons.

      To be fair, I think a lot of this is people being self-centered (which I get is an insult too), but perhaps I’m being pedantic at this point. Lol

      On that point though, people that voted for Trump I feel are self-centered because they think it will help them personally, ignoring all the other lies and/or bigotry he’s said. The people that didn’t vote though are just as self-centered for not taking the time or being too apathetic to get their vote in, knowing that he would harm people if he got elected.
