That. Also if you do know the voting system used in a polling place (there's not that many and they're not updated. Like ever.) you just send someone in with a premade worm on a USB stick. Guy plugs it in and suddenly every vote cast on that machine will be under your control.

I heard a story on the radio about how my city was worried because a lot of the electronic voting machines were more than ten years old. Electronic voting machines are such a stupid idea.

Aww man, I got all excited thinking the VP debate was tonight, but it turns out when you google when is the vp debate for some reason Google gives you the date of the 2008 debate. And a picture from the 2012 debate.

If the USA had asked the population what to do with Japan after the war, it'd have probably ended up somewhere like "More nukes" or "Mass executions", not the economic reconstruction that produced the stable and friendly nation state we have today. The people don't really understand that the best option with a defeated enemy is not usually "Crush them underfoot, burn their homes, and execute their families" because most people are operating on a level of about the 10th century in terms of understanding war strategy. Liberals assume that when ordinary conservative voters say they want to glass the Middle East they are engaging in hyperbole. They are not.

That's not really comparable. FARC isn't a foreign enemy or another country. It's an organization of a few thousand terrorists.

Re: Cuck and it's usage

In addition to the porn/literal cheating on your husband while he watches term (which has some racist implications) and being used to insult one's manhood a la human being or fuckboy, it also apparently refers to European countries allowing nonwhite immigrants in and "cucking" their culture. There's an article that goes into detail if you bother to look for it.

tl;dr - Suuuuper racist

Is fuckboy supposed to insult someone's manhood? I never understood that insult

It's the closest we've gotten to a real word for "male slut." Some ignorant people who use "cuck" are trying to turn it into another "buttboy" but it isn't. It's supposed to mean a young straight guy wearing a cap whose only redeeming characteristic is his dick.

Oh. That's both slutshaming and not that insulting, because of society and standards for young men

Bad insult, imo

I've already seen deplorables who insist that this is just Donald Trump being an alpha male and sexually aggressive (which is a apparently a Good Thing) and anyone who doesn't act like that is a beta male. Asking for consent to kiss or touch women makes you a pussy.

I honestly have no idea if they are elaborate trolls or the worst people ever. This election broke Poe's Law forever.
