The people who dont want to be told how they live desperately want someone to tell them how to live.

They are authoritarians.

A guy in the 90s foretold what will happen, who they are, and why we must outvote them

TIL 32% of Americans are idiots.

Wait … I knew this already. Never mind.

Even well-meaning authoritarians can do terrible things, to say nothing of their eventual replacement. Look what happens to otherwise great companies when the founder dies and is replaced by someone just looking to maximize next quarter profits.

What short-sighted utter fools.

And this right here is exactly why leftist should never give up their guns.

a decade later, somewhere on 4chan

be me
hardcore Trump supporter
Trump wins, I'm ecstatic
world starts going to hell, WW3 kicks off
married with three sons, trying to keep everything together
decide to start a construction company, war efforts boost business
build a bunch of buildings, making bank
get elected to local office, life is on the up and up

land a huge contract, biggest yet
build the place, turns out it's a gay bar
fml
media catches wind, calls me part of the "woke agenda"
sons get drafted into the war, proud but terrified
trying to keep the family safe as the world burns
business takes a nosedive, firebombed by extremists
every building I've ever built gets torched
house goes up in flames, barely escape with wife

wife blames me for everything, says I'm the reason we're targeted
receive word from the front lines
"All three of your sons killed in friendly fire"
caskets arrive the next morning
wife loses it completely, leaves the country, I'm left alone

arrested, accused of contributing to "trans agenda"
just a foreman trying to get by, now rotting in jail
every dream turned to ash
life was supposed to be perfect
now I'm just a broken man with nothing but regret

tfw everything falls apart because of one misguided decision

We fought a fucking war over this and people still seem to love licking boots.

Hmm I wonder what 30% that is....

I also wonder if there is any overlap between that 30% and people that have a bones for "freedom" and "liberty"

Leopards ate my face energy

Can’t they just say Trump supporters?

Reactionaries believe that all of the problems they face are due to the fact that the wrong people are ruling.

They are 100% in favor of a neo-feudal pseudoaristocracy where billionaires are unleashed to rule the States as their fiefdoms and will impose their vision upon their subjects.

Reactionaries do not value individual autonomy except for the privileged man who runs the factory, farm, or family; all others should do as they're told or face his wrath.

They do not believe in structuring society to be fair and equitable, as is evident by their crusaides against DEI, holding police accountable, women, LGBTQ people, the non-religious, the unhoused, progressive taxes, and welfare.

All they care about is power to enact their will on others.

The Founders were ONLY CORRECT when they said we're allowed to Shoot Up Elementary Schools. Everything else was WRONG!

32% is all you need. Thanks to the perpetual minority rule established by electoral college system

Weird coincidence, but have you noticed how Trump's approval, when it's at its absolute lowest, always hovers around 32%?

From this and other polls it really does seem that most countries would be immeasurably improved if a good third of the population were to spontaneously combust.

Alternative headline: "32 percent of Americans are fucking braindead"

This country is cooked that number is way too high.

32% of Americans want to be Nazis? Sad to see.

32 percent of Americans are fascist bootlickers

At this point, I would be unsurprised if a third of Americans voted for an industrial meat shredder for President, even after it had been repeatedly and clearly explained they would be marched into it at gunpoint if it won. The lower part of our bell curve is… well… very, very low.

I'm 100% in favor of me being a dictator for life but otherwise I'm pretty sure democracy is a good idea.

I hate this country more and more every day.

“Susan Sontag was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10% of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10% is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80% could be moved in either direction” —Kurt Vonnegut

I read some research somewhere that found that about a third of the people in any given country are authoritarian shitheads (paraphrasing). The problem is that the unique structure of the US system of government gives said shitheads outsized power and representation relative to their numbers.

If you ask the same people if they would want a leftist military regime or authoritarian governement they would beg for democracy. These people have no scrouples. End of the day they just want to be left alone like everyone else. It's just lashing out because they themselves don't want to change.
