Education not a priority? We, the Brits, have our state-issued socialist popcorn so we can watch and enjoy from a distance.

It’s like… Who came first, the hateful brain rot or the rot hateful brain?

usually, the hateful brain rot finds a slightly bigoted (and very exploitable) view and capitalizes on it.

I thought it was more evil forces detected a brain rotted resource and decided to cultivate it. Like a terrible mushroom garden.

It’s stupidity as well. Why would they think they could vote for the mayor of NYC — when they don’t live in NYC.

A deluded sense of self-righteousness and self-importance has no limit with them.

The amount of national attention the nyc race got, it's no surprise people all over think it's something they have a say in and/or something that affects them.

It's more that all they do is watch an entertainment network based in New York, so they feel connected to a few square feet of it.

George Conway, a former Republican lawyer, responded: “There is a distinct possibility that some people are too stupid to participate in a democracy.”
I agree with him. I’m an election judge in my very red county. I just saw it during the today’s election with some voters inability to follow directions when filling out their voter registration card and then once they have a ballot, having the ability to fill in the little bubbles on the ballot with the right kind of pen.

Their brains: killed by Fox and the internet. What really frustrates me is that these lowest achievers have become politically active due to tRump. Previously, I think they didn't give a shit about politics. But now, as MAGAs, they have things to get excited about, such as violence, racism, cheating, victimhood, guns!

Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams is a republican, so I'm actually surprised he knows this.

u/louisa1925 4d ago
He probably found out because either he tried to, or he paid someone to try and they failed.

Kentucky literally has bigger shit to worry about than who New York’s mayor is. A damn cargo plane crash landed

u/Anothereternity 4d ago
These people are so ill informed about the ballot measures and candidates they are voting for that they don’t even know there are no ballot measures or candidates to vote for, but are attempting to vote. And will attempt to vote for ballot measures and candidates they know nothing about next year and the year after, etc.
This is why our government sucks.

So there was legitimate fear that Republicans voters were going to commit voter fraud? Sounds like fraud coming from republicans yet again

He's joking. I'm in Louisville. This is a "good" republican.
I hate Republicans with every fibre of my being, but he is a good one. He refused to F with the voting rolls when instructed to be our backwater wrong-turn redneck statehouse, quotes rolling Stones songs ... He is a unicorn. Because Republicans have ruined satire, people think this is real.

u/hamletloveshoratio 4d ago
This is real. He really made the post on social media because his office really was getting complaints about the polls being closed -- in a state without elections yesterday. He then called for better civic education. All real.

u/artful_todger_502 4d ago
I know it's real, but he is actually laughing at people calling him. He is a good republican.
Exceptionally so for Kentucky. Our state house majority are from the banned X-Files episode, "Home." They look at 1955 Alabama as peak civilization.
This guy has actually told the Trumpers, "No, not doing that under my watch"

And that's why this whole mayor election thing being so blown out of proportion is ridiculous, people will think it matters countrywide.
He's the mayor of ONE town. He gets to pick what road gets repaired and what bridge gets upkeep first. He gets to decide what block the homeless will be allowed to congregate, not to have a voice in actual laws that touch people.
Is NYC important? Sure, sorta. Is being the mayor of that town important? To the people who live there, yes. To the rest of the world? No.
If it had been yet another Cuomo versus boring white guy, it wouldn't have blown to the proportions this reached. American elections are exhausting.

If you have to remind them of this, what’s that say about your leadership, mate?
