"We" didn't. The devil did. And he's very, very clever. He's been doing this (creating chaos) from the beginning of time. Literally.

It's just that liberals are willing dupes. They stupidly believe that all that glitters is gold.

Eph 6:11-12: Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Democracy always devolves into the many weak takers overpowering the few strong makers.

Because back in the 70s and 80s everyone thought it was Soo cool and funny seeing interracial mingling and men in dresses passing for comedy. All the rest just fell in place effortlessly. Now were crying about it...

Apparently stupid people have been around and in charge since
Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492. Just observe the
changes to rules/gov’t/inhabitants since that time. All the
changes have been brought on by the inhabitants/voters.

Because voters can be stupider than the stupid people running America.

By seizing control of our schools, public and private and pre-k to post-doc, the Left has succeeded in dumbing down the entire population. I notice this every time I see people walking down the street alone wearing masks or when mask-Karens berate me for not wearing one.

Excellent headline. Now the question is: Why are we still allowing stupid greedy people to ruin our lives and kill people worldwide?

I used to dismiss Carlin as a leftist. But I think he mainly attacked conservatives at the time because he perceived they were the ones with the power. When in reality it wasn’t the case. That was just the mask they wore. The mask is the only thing that has changed.

Because it is so easy to bitch in a blog and vote in sham elections.

Maybe you shouldn’t have given the schools to the communists.

No, voters aren’t stupid - it’s that democrats are thugs, \liars and totalitarians.

Commie/’elites’ WANT stupid people in positions of authority - they’re easier to control and don’t ask questions.

One look at the trans who filled his wardrobe by stealing women’s luggage is a perfect example: dumb, criminal, sociopathic and felt he had the right to ‘live large’. The perfect useful idiot for commies to manipulate.

Indeed if anyone challenges that statement ask them who is the president and vice president now.

I still contend that the plan is to dumb down America because it’s easier than trying to make folks smarter.
