You only need a third of all people to be stupid. They are being led by the one third of people that have the agenda. The third third is us. We have to sway the middle third which is really hard because we don’t rely on emotion to make our points.

What I was commenting on was that the distorted perspective offered of what Trump is, appears to me to require an exceptional level of stupidity to believe. As the little bit of MAGA that was accomplished fades into the past, people are going to be confronted by a grim reality that will be hard for the media to paper over.
We are heading into endless riots, disease, unemployment, inflation and world confrontation. The media can try to spin it, but people have to be pretty stupid to buy off on the lies as things get worse for them.
