I’d say at least one third of the people in this country are ignorant when it comes to politics. They know what sports teams are playing and they know who has the hit songs on the radio but they’re functionally illiterate when it comes to who and what they’re voting for. That’s if they even bother to vote at all. The democrat party strives to keep these people fooled and clueless about politics.
And they get their “news” from Late Night talk shows.
