I've said it before and I'll say it again, but I think it's just beyond incredible that conservatives think Trump sounds intelligent
He's a stupid person's idea of a smart person, a poor person's idea of a rich person, and a trashy person's idea of a classy person. Can't remember where I heard that, but it seems very true.
I remember hearing that when he was prez, and it really does ring true.
Guess there's a nontrivial amount of cognitive dissonance there too, and more than a dash of "I don't care what the truth is, this is Our Guy and I'll sing his praises"
While I do agree with you in general, I don't think lack of information is much of a factor. Anybody with an internet connection has access to a fucking fantastic amount of information, but here we are – I think the problem's everywhere else than lack of access
Exactly! This is why I think it's not lack of information that's the problem – if accurate information itself was enough, it wouldn't be as hard as it is to inform conservatives
