minus-squareCarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-214 days agoThe election taught me that: 25% of the country is sorta paying attention. 25% of the country fits into two categories, Evil (100% selfish goes here, still counts as evil), or stupid as a bag of hammers. 50% of the country can’t be bothered to participate either way. Gonna lump them in with the hammers. Not great.
