And they were still stupid clowns. But with the power to do unbelievably horrible things.

This is also why education is so important: It enables more people to recognize these morons for the idiots they are. Which is why one of the throughlines of any undemocratic system is to keep education away from people.

Education is not the only thing, i know some pretty well educated people, who will still buy into propaganda, it a mix of education and a more sceptical approach to information in general.

One of my best friends believes anything you tell him with a straight face.

Generally smart and likeable but will tell you that the spike protein stays in your body without knowing what that is really.

He once told me there were no planes on 9/11 and that it was CGI.

Everything he learns is from YouTube which explains a lot.
