Okay now on to my Substack!
Today when I woke up I saw that I had a direct message on Twitter. It was tucked away in the message requests so for me, that means one of three things. It means someone wants to get art, which I love. It could also mean someone hates me and wants to let me know, which I am not a fan of. Or it could mean that TaylorSwift93874778 wants to connect with me and needs Apple Gift Cards.
Well, it wasn’t for art. I got a long message about how I am a child abuser. They went on about how everyone who vaccinates their children is a child abuser. Not just for Covid, like every vaccination.
I have to be honest, I think I have been ignoring the fact that so many people are fucking stupid. I mean I was so worried about my own insecurities growing up that I just did not focus on the stupidity of others. Sure, people in classes would ask dumb questions but I focused more on if my shirt made me look fat which it did because I was fat.
Then for years in the work I was a general manager for restaurants. It was easy to fix a situation where someone was stupid. You worked with them or you fired them. Simple.
I have gone to jury duty where I spend all day listening to people talk about conspiracy theories or politics that are verified by biggovnewzmagacult.stupid. Yet for some reason I did not think about how stupid everything was. I just thought it was a slim amount of people who thought like this.
But I was wrong. Everything is stupid now. We are living in a time where Hunter Biden’s laptop is talked about more than mass shootings in schools. Where a man who talks about vampires and carries a toy sheriff badge could be a Senator. Where Lauren Boebert is praised by many and people want to get rid of the Constitution.
And I realized there were always stupid people and stupid things. Always.
But why is it so loud now? Why is it so much in my face?
Because smart people are egging on the stupid people. And the stupid people are very very loud.
Do not be fooled. Elon Musk, Kanye West, and Donald Trump are not stupid. You might want to think they are, but they aren’t.
*I do truly believe Herschel Walker, Lauren Boebert, and Marjorie Taylor Greene are stupid. They are just loud.
All of these people are smart and are enraging the stupid people to talk about stupid things and do stupid things. And it is so annoying and frustrating. It truly is.
And it really is not good for the mental health of those who are not stupid.
So what is the end result?
Honestly, I think the smart people are just going to have to be louder than the dumb people.
SO PLEASE GET VACCINATED AND VOTE FOR SEN. WARNOCK AND FIGHT FOR THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS AND DO NOT LISTEN TO ANY MAGA!!!!
It is time to start speaking out more.
