Both ends of the political spectrum have people who hold onto crazy beliefs and easily swallow mis-truths. I am not saying I liked Bush, but people went crazy when he won his elections. There were protests and calls for him to resign.
...but this is a whole new level. It is insanity. These people are swallowing the dumbest shiz ever and using it to excuse their violent behaviour. I guess this is proof that direct democracy is not a good idea.
I think people up here on average are more tolerant of other people's points of view... but the large influence of religious social conservatives in that country may have more to do with it than simply American culture.
