So true. However, this is an indictment of the American culture as well. There is too big of a segment of the voting public that is immature and completely ignorant. I think of it as the "American Idolization" of the culture. Sure, the DNC/media complex weaves its web of deceit and lies but too many citizens get so easily fooled. The ancient Romans used the Colosseum. The NannyStateSocialists of this age use TV and movies to keep the general public immature and stupid.
Government schools deserve much blame for this too.
There have always been people who are very easily led.
It is worse now than ever, for a lot of reasons
