We’re talking about low information voters. They don’t know that their party supported slavery, started the KKK, opposed civil rights, and the list goes on. Said nothing while communists killed 3 million people in SE Asia at the end of the Vietnam war. Still says nothing while slavery and genocide is going on right now in Africa. Can’t remember their own president’s executive orders from a year ago. It’s sad seeing them think they know what’s best for everyone else when they don’t even know what’s good for themselves.

”Low information voters” are the product of the flattery and derision directed by journalists and by indoctrinators styling themselves “teachers” toward the suppression of independent thought.

Self-flattery is in fact one of the key elements. Inability for honest self-critique. It’s not about independent thought to them, by the way; it’s about the monopoly of thought. They’re conditioned to hate all sources of information but what’s prescribed for them.
