26 Of The World’s Biggest ‘Mess Around And Find Out’ Cases Shared By People Online

The best definition of a Republican I've heard is 'someone who will happily eat shít for breakfast on the off chance a liberal might smell his breath'.

And the amount of people who say that despite losing everything they would still vote the same way.

they can't afford to own anything now!

Yeah, when they lost their job, they sure owned me.

Good they think they owned something because they are losing their businesses and health care.

In Germany a significant number of right wing voters (ya know: the party who wants to keep "Germany for Germans") are second generation immigrants, mostly from Russia. They hate that "those immigrants come here and get everything for free, when we had to work for everything we have". They're often staunch Putin supporters, too. People seem to look for a leader, and for some reason they interpret narcissism to competence. "He says, he's the bestest of 'em all, and he should know!" Baffling.

Never fully was able to wrap my mind around the latino vote going to Trump. And then people are surprised when he turns around and treats them like dirt. Really sheds some light on how much of a disconnect there can be between perspectives. To me, there's no other way this could have turned out, but clearly not everyone felt that way because we have this situation.

My husband works in a hospital cafeteria as a cook and there are several Hispanic people that work there THAT VOTED FOR THE ORANGE DICTATOR. Now they are all worried about their families because of ICE.

It's all about pulling up the ladder for those behind them. I got mine and will make it difficult or impossible for you to get yours.

Honestly, the Schadenfreude is what keeps me going. Unless you are extremely wealthy, than voting for the GOP is effectively voting against your own self interests.

Shows how people only listen to what CNN and MSNBC are telling them. He didn't cut medicare funding for CITIZENS only the illegals that should have never been on it to begin with.

One can certainly HOPE!

Our Dear Leader tried to get Ukraine to sell their rare minerals to us as part of a support package. I think it was during that big blow-up at the White House.

I'm waiting for him to give Alaska back to Russia...

Ukraine is in a war of attrition that it is estimated in 19 months, they wont be able to meet combat soldier numbers, they are entirely dependent on NATO Countries sending them weapons, etc. Russia has the numbers to grind out 5 more years of war, and weapons for it too. I respect Ukraine, but there is no situation where Ukraine can win without other countries going to war with Russia and creating WW3. Russia can outlast Ukraine at a high cost. Its why 63% of Ukrainians are willing to give up territory to end the war. In a war of attrition, Russia wins, and short of a coup, Putin wont back down.

Popes have been idolised for far too long considering what most of them knew was happening around them

Just like Napoleon before them. The Russian winter defeats them all.

No, I think his name was Lunch.

Even Mother Theresa said it didn't matter if the children died. Just that they are saved before they die. Christians are pretty sick.

The worst part of the Brexit campaign for the whole UK was, that it was targeting the EU-members eastern-european nations, polish for the most, because they are the most "visible" over there. But every other eastern-european nation took it as personal.Hungarians, slovakians, romanians, bohemians, slovenians, croatians ...and so on. So Uk woke up one day, without not enough essential workers in healthcare and constructions fields, also with investment companies freaking out. That was a very expensive trolling.

I bet the Scots were pissed AF. I know I'd have been. Debating independence for decades and centuries for England to cajole them into staying with the flock because "we are stronger together - don't leave! Don't destroy the union!" And then basically England (AFAIK Scotland, Wales(?), and particularly Northern Ireland were all pro EU) turns around, flips the bird to Bruxelles, and says "you won't do as we want? Fine! We're leaving!"

3/8ths of the electorate voted "leave" in the second Brexit referendum - meaning a marginal majority (52%) of those who voted. A huge majority voted "remain" in the first Brexit referendum (okay, only 43% of the electorate - but over 67% of those who voted) - which was supposed to be the end of the matter. Then that weasel Cameron came along. But so far, it's a 1-all tie. We should have a third vote to settle the matter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_United_Kingdom_European_Communities_membership_referendum

The whole thing was a mess - David Cameron putting it to a public vote but putting no effort into the Remain campaign, whereas the Leave campaign was filled with charismatic people who told big lies. And then the results were so close - they definitely shouldn’t have done something so huge when the results were 52% / 48%. They should have said the margin for victory needs to be higher for such a country changing decision. I think I’m a fairly intelligent person but I didn’t watch the political debates or read dozens of articles for information. I wasn’t informed enough. Other people knew nothing except the lies from Boris.

This wasn’t the 40s, it was the 2010s. People in Canada were dumbfounded by all of this because none of the math made sense to begin with even before you took into account how the EU actually worked. The Irish border dispute was brought up almost immidietly and again every couple of months until it went through and everyone realised they didn’t do anything. All other EU nations were saying if you don’t make a deal then free border travel and universal citizenship was going to be up in the air. I was in university during it and we would talk all the time using readily accessable information and numbers, most of which from the BBC. This idea that the information wasn’t available is literally insane and just a rationale to back up the fact that everyone had feelings about a thing and didn’t want to look at all the facts telling you it was a bad idea.

Which is so weird if you think about it. Even if the number wasn't made up and it was indeed what the UK used to send to the EU, it didn't take into account the money that in turn the EU sent back into the UK. When I briefly lived in England, I would always notice the co-pay of the EU in every sort of public work, equipment, construction etc. Like roads, bridges, hospitals, hospital equipment. I was once at the hospital and the MRI machine was 50% co-funded by EU. When the Brexit referendum's result came up, I was astonished, because the first thing I thought of, was "what about all the co-funding from the EU? They'll need to pay all that out of pocket if they leave the EU....The money they contribute aren't nearly as much as the money and services they receive" and well enough...the rest is history as they say.

Petra Peitsch: socialism is great. Socialism is what keeps all developed nations working well. I know a lot of Americans have been programmed to respond negatively to the word "socialism", but see what they say when you tell them that they can't have Medicare and Medicaid and all the other implementations of socialism in the USA. See? Meanwhile, the USA elected a president after he actually promised to be a dictator... 🤣 Communism might be good, might be bad: but the thing is, actual real Communism's never been tried. No, I am absolutely *not* volunteering - but it would be interesting to see how it worked out, provided I was a long way away. 😉

Socialism is NOT communism.

living in the US right now, it genuinely terrifies me how many people think their faces won't be eaten too.

Russia is neither communist nor socialist. It is a hyper capitalistic oligarchy.

Ahh yes all those SOCIALIST evil dictator states like??? The Scandinavian countries??? Socialism is not evil just because the US government brainwashed the masses into hating the word back in the 50 ties, socialism and communism is NOT the same ffs! AND most "communist" countries are as communist as the Democratic Republic of Congo is democratic...

Socialism isn’t so bad. Why do you think the happiest nations are predominantly socialist?

In America we are quickly learning what living under a dictatorship looks like day to day.
