These sentiments are so far removed from reality it bottles ones mind. So yeah, these are c clearly truly stupid people, but they probably aren't horrible people.
But if the 2/3 number is right, there is still more than 25M who think he is godlike.
Its so strange. Talking with a client the other day and she asked if I had voted yet. I said we aren't eligible to be citizens until the spring so can't vote this time. She said we'll that must be wrong because all these illegals are voting. I said no they aren't. Some places allow non citizens to vote in local elections, but to vote in a federal election you have to be an American citizen. And she is like I'm sorry, you are wrong - they talk about these things on these podcasts I listen to.
The glorious information age.

Again, this all began when civics lessons left the K-12 education system. Nobody knows how their own ####ing counry works anymore.
Pardon me, that's not accurate.
An immigrant has a very ####ing acute idea of how this country works because they are actively trying to navigate the systems and need to know answers to questions about how the country works in order to become citizens.
I say this as someone who immigrated and stayed, and became a citizen. It took me 7 years of residence and that's AFTER I had been married to an American woman for 4 years. I couldn't vote until I became a citizen. FACT.
It makes me want to scream hearing this stupid bull####.
