People are just plain stupid and ignorant these days. Everything seems to cater to the lowest common denominator. A lot less people read. Low information voters? Ha, talk about NO information voters. More people seem to get their news from social media. They're not just ignorant, they're dang near illiterate. Definitely ill-educated.
I'm a moderate conservative. I look at both ends of the spectrum and ask WTF are they smoking? The far right is as bad as the far left.
