  • “Not engaged” means “willfully ignorant”.

    The presidential election season is like 18 months long. Information is ubiquitous. Plenty of time to find just one rabbit hole to stumble into and realize your guy is a conman and a crook.

    In fact, I’d say it’s pretty much impossible that these people were “not engaged”. They chose to not engage. They had the same opportunity to educate themselves and they chose to tune it out. That’s what toddlers do. Stick fingers in their ears and proceed on with life. Only remove fingers from ear to lick wax. This is how the majority of Americans choose to live their life.

    Maybe literacy tests wouldn’t be such a bad idea now that there is compulsory education .






  • I don’t like to call it boomer humor. That shit was funny in the 90s. For better or worse, it wasn’t the jokes that changed, it was our reaction to it.

    Thinking specifically of things like “Miss Swan”, “The ambiguously gay duo”, and “Pat”. Although I think only one of those was MAD. Still, we (as in the cisfolk, at least) thought it was funny enough at the time for it to keep getting aired.

    It’s boomer humor now because our sense of humor matured and adapted…and theirs didn’t.
