So dismissing millions as stupid won’t cut it. Not only because their beliefs saturate the halls of power, not only because it’s a losing strategy, but also because it’s wrong. People believe some extra-ignorant things right now, but insulting their intelligence does nothing to get us closer to the real reason our country has reached this point. It does nothing to build critical thinkers, nothing to address the legitimate reasons that people don’t trust most politicians, the government, and a lot of corporate media, nothing to rebuild trust. Most importantly, it does nothing to address our deliberate dumbing down.
