If Kamala Harris was President and the stock market were tanking this bad, Trump and every Republican in the country would be demanding her impeachment

Because the GOP is a cult not an actual political party.

Most of the base don't have the minimum brain cells to understand politics or the economy or frankly how magnets work...

They literally just parrot what they see on Fox News and see in their right wing Facebook groups.

I know this is borderline snobby but hearing some of them try to talk about the potential wine/champagne tariffs was painful. They just don’t know how anything works and they’re proud

We've entered a new era.

Rather than being uninformed, people are misinformed and that's often worse.

People that are uninformed are often willing to to inform themselves in order to make a proper decisions.

Those who are already misinformed are likely going to stick to their guns because of sunken cost and all of that.

We have soooo many idiots running around thinking they're really smart because they saw a few youtube or IG videos on a topic.

It's quite crazy.

They are also willing to look up and say the sky is green if their dear leader say so. I asked one to do the Elon salute in public if that wasn’t a nazi salute. And out comes the narcissist playbook. It was that. If it was it wasn’t that bad. They see with their eyes but have the ability to lie to themselves because of fear and identity politics. There is no hope for them. If they are okay with that then they are okay with far worse things.

I think a big part of the problem is the "greatest country" mentality. Every good country's citizens are aware of its biggest problems instead of just saying "YeAh bUt fReEdOm".

“All that greatness, and they dont know what to do with it”, someone once said.

I appreciate the way you said that I would say I am uninformed mixed with the bottom. Thanks for making things a little clearer.

Asimovian "cult of anti-intellectualism"
