The events that made you realize America is f'ing stupid?

[DFW]

22. We don't have a monopoly on stupid (I live in Germany), and I could never limit our stupidity to two events:

But--

The 1968 election (a book written by a Nixon campaign worker was called "The Selling of the President 1968," and the guy moved out of the USA when his man won).

The 1980 election.

The 1984 election.

Stockman admitting he and Reagan's economic team were flying blind, and no Republicans cared.

Ralph Nader's ego trip candidacy in 2000, and the number of people who took him seriously.

The events leading to the decision in 2000 that gave Dick Cheney (dba GW Bush) the presidency.

The media's complacency leading to the Iraq invasion of 2003.
The many events during that invasion, including the loss of $9 BILLION in cash in Iraq, and no military or Republicans cared (I guess everyone was happy with their cut?).

The Republican refusal to vote in all of Obama's desperately needed stimulus package after his inauguration for the sole reason that it would have helped the economy too much and would have made him look too good.

The phony argument made by McTurtle for denying Obama the right to nominate a SCOTUS justice to replace Scalia.

The refusal by Bernie Sanders to end his 2016 campaign well prior to the Democratic convention.

The refusal of the FBI to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The fact that anyone at all voted for Jill Stein of their own free will in 2016.

The fact that Fox "News" is still watched by millions nationwide and taken seriously by them.
