“[T]here seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously—after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important ... so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth.”

Robert A. Heinlein

IOW, who cares?

Since Democrats usually ride into office on the backs of low-info voters, I suppose they do.

Fox News recently interviewed a young skull o' mush who said she'd vote for Donald Trump because he was on Saturday Night Live. Then she said she'd vote for ANYONE who was on Saturday Night Live.
