  There’s no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated

  NOFX wrote about the rise of ignorance in America and the song “The Idiots Are Taking Over” is more appropriate now than ever before.

  full lyrics below. link to song for anyone not familiar: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sNWDfryyMk

  ---

  It's not the right time to be sober
  Now the idiots have taken over
  Spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?
  Mensa membership conceding
  Tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding
  Watson, it's really elementary
  The industrial revolution
  Has flipped the *removed* on evolution
  The benevolent and wise are being thwarted, ostracized, what a bummer
  The world keeps getting dumber
  Insensitivity is standard and faith is being fancied over reason
  Darwin's rolling over in his coffin
  The fittest are surviving much less often
  Now everything seems to be reversing, and it's worsening
  Someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
  Now angry mob mentality's no longer the exception, it's the rule
  And I'm starting to feel a lot like Charlton Heston
  Stranded on a primate planet
  Apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground
  With generals and the armies that obeyed them
  Followers following fables
  Philosophies that enable them to rule without regard
  There's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated
  Political scientists get the same one vote as some Arkansas inbred
  Majority rule, don't work in mental institutions
  Sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand biggest solutions
  What are we left with?
  A nation of god-fearing pregnant nationalists
  Who feel it's their duty to populate the homeland
  Pass on traditions
  How to get ahead religions
  And prosperity via simpleton culture
  The idiots are taking over

  I’m still thinking they send the “barely qualified” secret servicemen to protect Trump

  Look how the secret service responded to an assassination attempt on trump. It was absolutely pathetic

  it was perfectly fine??? They shot and killed the guy within like 3 seconds of the event happening???

  Sure it’s weird that he was up there, but i’m not sure that’s a failing of SS specifically, but they certainly did their job in regards to neutralizing the threat.

  Also trump isn’t even the current president, so it’s not like he’s going to get all the coverage in the world.

    The fact he even got shots off while laying on literally one of the only spots a sniper could get a shot off is absolutely bad enough. They should have had minimum one sniper looking at that roof constantly. That’s like step one.

      i believe they did, though it’s worth noting, you’re constantly scanning rooftops as a sniper, so there’s always going to be a small amount of time before targeting and shooting.

      I’ve heard, havent verified but apparently local police were working the grounds and apparently maybe that roof? So it might have been their responsibility entirely. I’m guessing the kid only peaked the roof shortly before shooting though, that’s the only way he would’ve gotten a shot off.

  I don’t see how the secret service is relevant to this in literally any way.

    Read the comment again lol

      Apon rereading, your comment isn’t any more coherent. It’s like a vague “what is this world coming to?!”, drawing two disparate concepts together as if they form some grand pattern, but there’s nothing there.
