"The Politician: Thoughts"
(lemmy.world)
Yep. I've come to realize that most Americans are indeed morons. They'll believe anything is true if it confirms their biases. So, it only makes sense that presidential candidates would speak to the lowest common denominator. Such people have minds trained by their life experiences almost exclusively and eschew learning as being wishy-washy or unscrupulous or "just book learnin'". They've no framework except what benefits them. And they'll enable the greatest evils if they think it'll net them an extra dollar.
