Let's talk about angry and afraid.

I don't disagree, but would you not agree that the fear is driven by misinformation spread to uninformed people that aren't interested in finding out what the actual truth is? And angry over things that are actually (largely) the fault of the side they tend to vote for?
Sure, they are afraid, but, to me, not actually doing any thinking for yourself and just accepting what these people say (on either side) as the truth IS stupid.
Funnily enough, I googled "stupid" to find the formal definition, and this was the first news article returned from the search:

Obviously it's because it is the most recent article, and "stupid" is in the title, but I still find it funny.
