Of course it’s lies but they believe. Don’t even get me started on those who believe RFK Jr. will rise from the dead to be Trump’s running mate.

Maybe my friend is right. Edit: JFK JR., not RFK Jr.
You just called 340 million people stupid, and then cited nothing but a Trump supporter, and faceplanted your post by naming the wrong guy.

Who’s stupid?

Actually, his friend said Americans were the stupidest people in the world, which isn’t necessarily calling 340 million people stupid, just suggesting they’re collectively occupying the lowest rung of the “who is stupid” ladder.

"Americans are dumb" is certainly an unfair shortcut. 74 million people voted for Trump in 2020, that's about 22 percent of the population ... that's a lot of Americans who made a dumb decision, but obviously also a lot who didn't. Certainly, a lot of Americans suffer from those who make dumb decisions and vote dumb people like MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, Hawley etc. into positions of power.

Don’t tar everyone with the same brush.

Alberta isn’t nothing but mouth breathing rig pigs who support the Oilers.

Sometimes I ask myself why it's that group that always seems to get caught embarrassing themselves in public and always seems to have to intimidate others and impress their belief systems on everyone else.

Also, they always seem to have their 'rights' constantly infringed on. They're never free enough.

People living a province that voted in Smith has to be careful of rocks/glass houses. Would people who voted for Smith not vote for Trump if it was Trump vs the NDP?

Albertans might very well the stupidest people in Canada so I think it’s less “careful of glass houses!” and more “takes one to know one.”

I'd be interested to know of the Alberta/US levels of sociopathy (or at least, empathy levels) relative to other western countries/provinces

The bottom end really brings it down. We still have people protesting COVID restrictions that don’t exist and keep chasing away doctors. Tough break.
