‘SOME’ Americans are. SOME Americans are literally just as brainwashed and untethered from reality as North Koreans except this group of Americans are shady assholes just like their leader and they did this themselves willfully.

But we aren’t. They did this TO us not FOR us.

The expression is "Money talks" but we are learning (hopefully, anyway) that "Money lies" is what has taken place.

Yep, 50 years of war waged against the public education system has finally paid off.

And too many are so gullible, if Trump said that the moon was made of green cheese, they’d believe him!

Heck, I have taxpayers funded health and dentalcare in Canada. My healthcare is free. I do pay for prescriptions at lower rates than in the US. My dentalcare is subsidized with 60% off because of my income.

Don't forget we're getting dumber also

that they care about, then they will truly understand that their precious 2nd amendment is nothing but a long con by the NRA to milk them for money!

😞🙄

We lost any critical thinking skills we may have had… well, at least 35-40% of the people did

I think the word you’re seeking is gullible.

THERE IS ANOTHER WORD THAT BETTER DESCRIBES THE AMERICAN POPULATION…

And gullible.

Well don’t buy USD now … it’s going to be cheaper ever soon!

The private insurance industry is unbelievably rich abd they use it to their advantage.

As an American, 100% agree. Our system and population are cooked.

We’re consumers … we buy what we’re told …

If millions of Americans suddenly lose their health insurance, they won't be able to get free vaccinations anymore. Expect more pandemics!

I’ll just say it… stupid as well.

That’s OUR money the Trumpians are stealing for the upper 1%.

Truth

21% of Americans are functioning illiterates.

Yes we are ain’t it a shame that people can’t think for themselves

I wonder why people are so gullible. What a profound mystery.

Very well put

It's dumb even from a conservative/capitalist point of view. They need healthy workers to be productive.

Thought meh when I commented everyone should be pissed off about Citizen's United ruling because I said it would all for foreigners to put money into our elections. Plenty of dark money has poured into our elections since.

I just don't get it. I will never understand MAGA. I have tried.

And when it bites them on the ass, they turn around and say "Please sir, may I have some more," by continuing to vote for these a-holes, as long as it "owns the libs."

When the myth of america has been rewritten by the plutocrats

Not all Americans - just all MAGA voters

Waaay too many people have a lesser ability to perceive than a frickin' dragonfly. The dumbing down of America continues.

I have american family I can tell you that they have terrible healthcare compared to me, I would have died in childhood if I was there

Putting up with this congress big lie policies is just stupid

Thats the truth !!

Americans are brainwashed by corrupt media(fox) with agendas that sound ridiculous to the world, unfortunately not to the American voter

I think we’ve just proved ourselves to be the most stupidest.

Blame the rich Republican media Christian fakers who are really racist kkk members and the stupid voters in a death cult and yet think they are doing gods work they are killing us

And let's not forget, for that 20% you get a HS grad, seated at a desk & phone whose job it is to tell you that your case has been reviewed, and per his decision, you will not be covered for X, Y, Z. Or - health care via science and doctors. Hmmm? What to choose?

You mean DUMB and easily mislead

It's because they don't see it that way. They view employer-provided insurance as part of their compensation that they earned. They view Medicare-for-all as a hand-out to folks who didn't work for it.

I never realized until this election, how many ignorant racist people are in this country! How many scared Americans are willing to give up their rights for some false security!

And the healthcare you overpay for doesn't have the best outcomes.

In China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran, people are forced to listen to propaganda. In America people do it willingly.

PT Barnum was right. There's a sucker born every minute.

For most europeans, like me, it seems utterly grotesk when following the US healthcare discussions. Keeping the workforce healthy and strong seems like a no-brainer… 🙄

Largely a very stupid country .

I just had to sign up for health insurance at my new job 😭😭 so expensive.

Meanwhile, in developed countries, they have universal healthcare!

Plain STUPID!

Yes. Yes you are.

I’d argue we’re fairly stupid.

Way too many...

That too

The stupid ones voted the most confident of themselves to lead them so it makes sense.

With regard to public officials, a second condition in play is corruption. Some of them are both.

Agreed 💯% !!!

our stupidity gets people killed - lots more people.

MAGA just killed my father, a former Air Force Intelligence Officer who listened in on the Russian military in East Berlin. Without his heart medicine, he will die. <- period.

And the most gullible.

From Appendix 2 in the book Alcoholics Anonymous

Twice they had the chance to vote for intelligent, articulate women. That both times they chose to elect a thin-skinned, whiny assed, inarticulate, virtually illiterate, economically incompetent, draft dodging, convicted sex offender tells you all you need to know about current American society.

"At least someone gets to be rich!" The response of a MAGA former coworker when I brought this up to her. People here are so fucking brainwashed.

Nation of un/misinformed morons

Makes MUCH more sense to have government-subsidized for-profit insurance where I pay a premium monthly, then if I *DO* need healthcare, a deductible or copay, then hope that the doctor-prescribed treatment is acceptable to a bookkeeper. Every other major country clearly is doing it wrong.

Paying more than that percentage in taxes vs someone who makes 3x + as me? Or the fact they don’t want to take away abuse by insurance? At least insurance paid for a medical emergency. Whereas Medicare denied a friend treatment during a stroke. Seems like you are spreading propaganda

Their brains have eaten by the Orange.

Imagine how much less stress/paperwork/cost there would be if we had a single payer system. We pay the most and get the worst in return. hbr.org/2024/11/why-...

Yup....always amazes me...how blind they are to the obvious...guess they think all the other countries are wrong on national healthcare and they ALONE are right, because they're so exceptional 😂🤣😂🤣😂 idiots

I think Americans are the most selfish people in the world. Uncle SAM well represents that country. Only money counts.

I had someone say,"We don't want to become Socialists!" I said,"Why? What is wrong with helping those that are at a disadvantage? Why can't we feed hungry people? The majority of ALL the wealth in this country is held by so few." They nodded their head and looked thoughtful as she went to her appt.

Stupid. The word is stupid.

But we love being told how wonderful we are as a valued customer.

But Trump cut Medicaid cuz it'll be good for us, right? Think you'll see more money in your paycheck? 🤣 Yah, no. Those cuts weren't for you. They took away from you. Any money sluffing off from the cuts go to billionaires... cuz apparently they need it more than you do. That's what you voted for. 👏🏻

As the insurance companies get government subsidies and co-pays and charges from the patients. The classic double-dip

Suckered by a reality TV show obnoxcious host🙄

That’s the exact the 3 issues of our economies of working class people, outrageous charges of PRIVATE medical services, outrageous Housing rents done by real state moguls as trump & others, outrageous costs of universities to improve education of population, educated people are less manipulable.

You could almost say stupidest

…not to mention collectively gullible, devoid of critical thinking skills, and intellectually lazy. Where are the best of you?

America has turned the glorification of stupidity into an artform.
