Ignorance is greatly to be preferred.
If true, then Democrats should be dancing in the streets.
I don't see it.
Protesting, Yes - but no dancing...
In Robinson Crusoe he spent his first years(?) on his deserted island alone but in relative good spirits. Building a shelter, figuring out food, etc.
At some point he explored the far side of the island. On the beach he saw foot prints. His fear got the best of him. Pirates? Slave traders?? Canibals!!???
He ran back to his camp, built a stockade and hunkered down in fear for a year or two. Of course nothing happened.
