I’m… not sure if malicious is the right word, at least for the followers. It’s more like they’re living proof of Hanlon’s razor. The followers are literally too stupid to understand.
1 million might be a tad on the low side. If you own a nice 3 bedroom 2 bath family home depending on location that could be $500k or even $700k all on its own. It doesn’t take much to get to 1 million from there. Toss in a couple nice but not fancy cars and that’s another $50k easily if not $100k, then the value of all your other possessions, and maybe a decent retirement account and you’re basically there.
2 million on the other hand, and that’s well into “rich” territory (but sadly barely even moves the needle of the ultra wealthy like the Koch brothers or Jeff Bezos).
How much a sandwich costs depends entirely on where you’re buying the sandwich, though.
Ask someone from Rochester New York and someone from New York City how much a sandwich costs, and you’re going to get wildly different answers, and that’s the same state
Starting with a test on basic constitutional rights would be a start. It’ll be nice if politicians actually know basic 5th grade material like this.
Then we can move on to other tests to weed out the old and decrepit. Memory test. Drivers test. If they can walk a mile.
And lastly a test asking them basic things. For example: How much does a sandwich cost? If they say $0.50 or $600 dollars, we know they’re not fit.
I mean it’s one banana, Michael. What could it cost, $10?
The problem isn’t that they don’t know things. It’s that they don’t care.
It’s both. It’s fully and completely both. They don’t know sh*t because they don’t care, nor have to.
Malicious ignorance.

They don’t want to, it’s weaponised wilful ignorance.
I’m not so sure. Their minds are literally too small to understand societal issues.
To be honest, all those tests plus a net worth requirement under 1 million (including their home value) would be nice too.
We need people who actually know what it’s like to live like everyone else.

Someone from Rochester would probably be buying a Garbage Plate, anyway
