Get the Baseball Bat Treatment mug.A votidiot is someone who thinks that voting changes reality, and that if the majority votes for something that is not true or is wrong, it somehow becomes real or correct.
Votidiots tend to rely on voting out of laziness in using their brains; in other words due to being idiots. That is the source of the term "votidiot", made up from the two words: "vote" and "idiot".
Votidiots forget that many scientists voted for Newtonian physics being true in the past, and yet they all ended up proven wrong eventually. Their votes meant absolutely nothing in that regard. So, any new scientific ideas voted by votidiots today could get equally proven wrong tomorrow.
It is lost on votidiots that voting does not really apply to everything in life as it only facilitates choosing subjective things that do not affect reality or morals one way or another, and for which all choices are acceptable to everyone. Morals are no voting matter for example.
Votidiots tend to think they can settle everything with democracy, and it is lost on them that this simply results in the majority forcing their opinion on the minority, which is yet another form of dictatorship that is worse than blatant dictatorships since it is hard to pin down and argue against in a votidiot society, resulting in worse oppression to the minorities who lose the votes.
Anyone who votes down this definition is a votidiot.

Peter: Real numbers tell us that people have a 99%+ recovery rate from Covid, so it is not really a dangerous disease.
Todd: Politicians already voted on the matter, declaring Covid an emergency, so it is now considered a dangerous disease regardless of reality.
Peter: They are Covidiots for believing Covid is a real threat. And, they are votidiots for thinking voting changes that reality!

Ken: I heard that marijuana causes long-term laziness in a lot of people!
Lisa: It doesn't matter. They voted to legalize it, so it is 100% OK now.
Ken: Votidiots!
Lisa: True that! Marijuana is still terrible for you! Voting doesn't change that fact one bit.

Suzan: Did you hear about this town's vote about allowing the robbing of the richest guy in town?
Doris: Yes, apparently this town's people are all poor except this one guy who recently moved there, and they are all so envious, so they are trying to legalize robbing him. Votidiots! Voting doesn't work that way! They will all end up in prison in no time over this.

Get the BIFI mug.A beneather is someone who automatically puts themselves beneath others by behaving inappropriately and lowering their social status as a result. Due to their own negligent self-unaware improper behavior, a beneather loses the respect of everyone and becomes a stomping ground for others without people being aware they are stomping on the beneather. A beneather often becomes an inadvertant stepping stone for others during their climb of the ladder of life.

Bob: Christmas! Do you really believe in that crap!?! Do you even know what Christmas is really all about!? It's consumerism! I don't give during Christmas. This is just a sham to cheat me out of a good buck!
John (ignoring Bob as just a beneather): Susie! Wanna give a buck to the poor for Christmas?
Susie: Sure! Go ahead! Here are $10 bucks!
Later on, John, Susie, and everyone else at their little company avoids inviting Bob to the Christmas party!

George: You need my help? What does that say about your math skills?!

Jonathan: Sure, why not!
A few weeks later...
George: Hey Edward! I've been trying to use this visualization tool, but my comptuer keeps going bust and I am almost gonna miss the deadline. Can you help me?
Edward: Sure!
George (noticing Edward is slow): Edward! Are you sure you know what you're doing!? You're so slow... I could have solved this problem on my own!
Edward: I'll leave you to it then.
A few days later... George gets fired! Eventually, he is begging on the street and his coworkers pass by him without ever recognizing him. They drop him a buck every now and then, and feel happy they are helping the community, but George is not happy! The end of a beneather!
