“”I’m sure if a Martian were to arrive here from another planet, their first question would be how did so many monumentally stupid and ignorant people manage to attain positions of power?””
Their logical deduction would be... because that many monumentally stupid and ignorant people voted for them. And they’d be correct. And then, they’d either nuke us from orbit.... just to be sure... or would take pity on us and go conquer some other (more worthy opponent) planet.
Why wasre a nuke. Just throw rocks at us.
