Are people not as stupid as we think?

Ya, having a little over half of the US population realize that the biggest mistake in their country's recent history was a mistake twelve years after the fact isn't actually some kind of bright light for the nation.

Well, since that isn't what actually happened, your point is moot. A sizeable fraction new it was a mistake before it even happened. Now there's just more people who realize it that push the number over the half way point. Not that that's a ringing endorsement for the cultural intelligence of the Americans, but it's better than what you were implying.

Ya, you're part of a country that re-elected Bush after all of this. You don't get to do anything beyond hang your head in shame.

I was too young to vote, so this does not apply to me fortunately. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
