Drawbacks of living in a country where half the people are dumbshits. It's the new normal and we better get used to it. When you are out in public doing anything, look around. Roughly half the people you see are fucking idiots.

Half seems optimistic, especially because of how many people didn't bother to vote

The association of anally sourced statistics estimates the portion to be closer to 75%.

The New York Times - which has about as much credibility as the AASS - says it's 92.5%

I see you're also an AASS man!

Yeah half is definitely an underestimate, which is really what's getting me down. A stark realization after so much optimism that we were finally coming out of our national funk.
