    So uneducated people are upset because they don’t understand concepts that educated people are discussing. Unfortunately, the country can’t put complex matters on hold to write it out in crayon for all of the Republicans.

      America still has universal suffrage. They also get to vote, and treating them like knuckleheads only affirms the ‘coastal elites’ or ‘flyover country’ memes.

      So we can say “they’re too dumb to be informed voters” but they still get to be voters. Act accordingly and try to reach those who haven’t fallen too far down the rabbit hole, or the Republicans get to herd them all as a group

      George Carlin

      You need stupid people to win an election. What can I say? That’s my premise.
