    The MAGA morons are the tools used by the far right leaders to get their way. Many of them are just terrified due to an intense ignorance and if they got smarter we might actually be doing ok.

      Or we could remove the financial incentives in our political system. That’d be a good start and a lot more likely to happen than making people smarter. Let’s not try to change people, let’s instead stop monied interests’ ability to mass manipulate people with fear into voting against their own interests.
