My question is simple: Why are Americans so retarded? This retardation isn't even new, it dates back to before the 20th century, ever since the dawn of the country as a whole. This year we are "Celebrating" 250 years of American retardation. Even when the US was genuinely the most progressive nation of its time (It had weak competition, to be clear) it still produced a profoundly retarded population. Now for my presentation of perhaps the most solid evidence of AmeriKKKan retardation before the 20th century: the Civil War, especially the 1864 Presidential Election.
Put simply, during the Civil War there was a large number of pro-Confederate Quislings that desperately wanted to sabotage the Union war effort by any means necessary. And take note, I am talking about the people of the Union, not the Confederacy. A neighborhood in fucking New York City symbolically seceded and joined the Confederacy during the Civil War and riots in Manhatten saw Confederate sympathizers burn down black orphanages while slaughtering abolitionists and freedmen. The North was FILLED with traitors and turncoats and Quislings and Wang Jingweis who squirmed around and lied in wait for a chance to strike and guarantee victory to the Confederacy. How much of these were there? Maybe about 20% to 30% of the population, no joke. The Democratic party of the time (Since this was, of course, before the long and gradual political realignment that we know as the party switch) represented these cowards, who were known as the "Copperheads", although they called themselves the "Peace Democrats". A large chunk of Democrats were not Copperheads though, they were instead "War Democrats" but they were mostly pro-slavery and opposed to Lincoln. The 2 factions would attempt to unite in 1864 at the Democratic National Convention, where they nominated disgraced former Commanding General of the US army George B. McClellan as their candidate for President. McClellan was an immensely incompetent retard and was responsible for a multitude of military failures, such as the Union defeat in the Peninsula Campaign and the last straw that got him fired from his position in 1862, his failure to persue the Confederate army after they were repelled at Antietam. McClellan represented the War Democrats, and promised to win the war while preserving slavery. The Democratic party platform, however, claimed that the Civil War was "A failure" and it was necessary for the US to immediately surrender to the Confede
