      I don’t disagree, but there’s a nasty cycle there. Conservatives defund education, deregulate airwaves, and so the kids of conservatives don’t get a good education and are brought up by Fox News. Because of that, they are ignorant of the real world, and they believe the lies spewed by conservative media, so they vote conservative and the cycle continues.

        Quite frankly, anyone who lives in this era and falls for Republican propaganda is a moron. Until they block basic data and history from being searchable, anyone who votes a clean Republican slate is a moron. No “their education is so bad they voted wrong”. Sure, we need to improve education. But they still only fall for that level of propaganda (most people will fall for some propaganda, but the degree is different), they are morons

          I think you underestimate how easy it is to fall for propaganda, and how smart people do too. Especially when it’s how you were brought up.
