Yes we as a people are.
We live in a country full of idiots. Being on Freerepublic it’s easy to believe everyone is as informed and has common sense like you do. But the sad fact is most people are uniformed dummies.
In a sane, just, intelligent country a party as evil and vile as the Democrat party shouldn’t even get 2% of the vote.
Even on the Republican side, we can’t even count on most members to pay attention and wake the *^(# up and throw some of these RINO bums out.
Between Free Republic, Fox News, WND and Breitbart on the net; Fox News and OAN on the tube, I get severely jolted when catching the occasional MSM version of news and the shameless liberal bias they push in place of truth.
I was especially depressed to find the majority of my classmates (all in their 50s) solidly liberal and swallowing that swill as gospel. My reasonable logic has no effect except to garner accusations of racism and bigotry. And they wonder how their kids went wrong. (sigh)
