    I imagine a lot of the stupid people who voted for right wing policies, and are then hurt by them, won’t connect those dots

    Part of being stupid is the inability to look at facts and draw a reasonable conclusion.

    Someone might look at “we cut funding for the town, and now the library sucks” and realize there’s a connection. An idiot might instead say “it’s the black people’s fault”

    I really want to drive that home. Some people are stupid. They look at the world and draw bad conclusions. I don’t know how to fix that.

      Well lead did a pretty big number on a certain generation that has been in power for quite some time, and you actually can’t fix that.
