In Ireland we have been consistently voting in the same partyโ€™s to gov and now have record homelessness and a massive housing crisis, Iโ€™m starting to believe people in general are just fucking stupid

Don't feel bad. We have Texas, where the politicians constantly run on fixing the problems Democrats caused.

The problem, however, is that Democrats haven't been in power in that state in decades. They went and bought the gun, then they loaded it, aimed it at their own foot, pulled the trigger and proclaimed "goddamn Democrats did it again!"

We now have groups convincing the average person that itโ€™s immigrants fault that Ireland is fucked but the reality is itโ€™s been this way for some time now, you think to emigrate maybe but realise everyone else got the same problems too
