If you think Donald Trump is a successful businessman, and that his well appointed boardroom on the Apprentice wasn't a set... perhaps it's more subtle.
And some of them are otherwise smart but think Jesus is legit going to come down soon.
I'm sorry so many have been brainwashed to watch and believe Fox News. They used some pretty ingenious techniques to do it - outrage attracts eyes, and positive reinforcement makes you "part of the team". It sort of isn't even their fault.
But there's a reason college educated voters don't go MAGA.
And if you're a rube damaging the country by how you vote due to how ignorant you are... yeah, there's a real problem there, and yeah, I'm looking down on you.
You don't "fix" those people btw. You just need to financially damage the mechanisms the GOP uses to indoctrinate them.
The Dominion lawsuit against Fox being the PERFECT example of how to do it.

You basically just confirmed Cliff's post when you used words like "sneering", "ignorant", "I'm looking down on you." to describe the uneducated and poor. This is the stuff that fuels the culture wars. As much as you think you are the solution, the reality is that you are part of the problem. We have seen a lot of changes in society over the last three decades. A lot of change so clearly a lot of people can be fixed. It comes down to education but people are not receptive to change when it's in the form of disparagement.
