Hey Pandas, What’s The Most Horrifying Fact You Know? (Closed)

A would-be fascist dictator, a compulsive liar, a sexual predator, an extreme racist quoting Hitler, a corrupt and convicted businessman, a near-senile babbling imbecile, and germophobe who would not touch, much less help any of his cult members...oh, and he's an orange crybaby.

This is about that annoying orange with a neck tie, isn't it?

You have to ask why people are so down on the "system" that they would literally prefer a dictator to what we have now in the USA. When people are desperate and entire regions seem overlooked and forgotten, they'll turn to anyone who promises them a "return to glory". Demagogues go all the way back to Cleon. But if you read his story, you see why he (and many other demagogues throughout history) might have been necessary.

I think he's counting on the terror factor in that to scare people away from voting... so buck up, folks.

There is a greater than zero chance that the sun could explode tomorrow, am I gonna let that worry me? I don't care how much pundits say the race is neck and neck (have pundits ever NOT predicted a neck and neck race?) Trump, nevermind the GOP is going to be destroyed in November. The dog was never meant to actually catch the car.....

Here History offers comfort. Women- fought, bled, and died - for the right to vote. It took decades - but in the end- men - voted - to extend voting rights to women. Of course it shouldn't have been that hard- but- all humans hate to change. And - we DID change. One of the very proudest achievements of American democracy. We're where we are now - because too many self-involved people did NOT vote to keep a ravening T-Rump out of office - so he wound up appointing 3 of the current Supreme Court judges- enough to totally tilt the court. What would happen if he could appoint more?

Can OP expand upon this? If you're talking about rights as a child? Or rights as an adult?

They try to teach us this stuff in school. They do. Read Dickens. Read Steinbeck. Any "good' author- in fact it's in Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musical movies - yes, the government IS corrupt - and cops are too. I'm puzzled as to where the opposite idea comes from.

Every branch of the US government has been corrupted by Big Money and corporate interests. You can literally purchase a politician/judge/president for millions and make billions. Pure corruption. See the 2008 financial crisis for a prime example.

Why do you always take me to the App Store, tiny X? (I know it’s off topic but I commented something about it in an article earlier 😅)

This is a little bit of a "Fearmonger" thing. An equal truth is that we are surrounded by viruses constantly - some of them novel, some dangerous- and mostly we cope. There really is NO indication that permafrost is teeming with vampire shark viruses waiting to eat us...

Bring it on. Humans are trash, the planet should be given to cats to control.

Again why stir up chaos over something we can't control. Fun fact. The climate changes all the time. We live in an ever changing world and sure while humans are having a hand in causing it to accelerate, this would have happened over time.

I will refer to you a book: "At The Mercy Of Nature", by Carl McDaniel. He's a senior Ecologist and Natural Economist. He comes, after long and hard scientific examination to this conclusion: "Humans have EVOLVED to be able to believe - anything." Because - "belief" has a measurable survival value- it can keep you alive. This is a very profound finding- and one that has not spread far enough.

sadly true

If the internet has proved anything, it's that the entire human race is mentally ill. We don't live in a consensus reality, we live in individual bubbles of personal delusion, each believing whatever makes them happy with no regard to the real world or how it works.

I dunno about that...

You want more fun? Alligators - can and DO climb trees. Younger ones do it regularly- and can hunt by dropping. Don't know if crocs do too, but wouldn't be surprised-

... I don't like it...

F**k.

That… IS ADORABLE BEST IMAGE IN MY MIND EVER EEEE

H- How?!

its true😕
