    That’s fair.

    But it’s also fair to call them what they are. Fucking idiots.

    All the knowledge in the world is at everyone’s fingertips now. It’s a choice to be stupid as hell.

    I got a typical public education. I’m not dumb enough to vote for Republicans.

      I think the point of propaganda is that it works, so they don’t realize they’re stupid and need to look elsewhere.

      They shove it down their throats that the other sources are all lies so they think they’re being smart, and it’s been happening their entire lives.

      So while they’re idiots, I’m not sure how much of a choice it is for a lot of them. They were manufactured that way.

        You need to have some intelligence to know how dumb you really are. The real criminals are the churches who back the grift thinking it will unleash some Christian utopia instead of the feudal system we left way back in the past when we decided Kings have got to go.

      I said this exact same thing a couple weeks ago when someone was whining about “working class solidarity”. “Oh boo hoo they were conned and manipulated” How come I can consume the exact same media as them and see through the bullshit? I’m really supposed to feel sorry for them? We’ve been telling them for decades they’re being lied to; they enjoy it.
