    I do not trust Americans to “do their own research”. I’ve seen how that has gone in the past. Too many Americans do their own research while scrolling Facebook from the toilet.

      Research requires a critical mind. Think of a person you know that has average intelligence, 50% of people are more stupid than that.

      And I’m not saying that stupidity is solely an issue for the republican electorate, I’m just saying “do your own research” is an unrealistic expectation.

      People need to be engaged with.

      “do their own research”

      That’s redneck for “I found someone that agrees with me on the Facebook”.

        Satan himself could’ve posted that and he would still be right. Rather than being busy shitting on people for being the wrong kind of people who is right, you should shit on a people voting actual, literal Nazis ans facists into power.
