And in the case of half of America’s population, blind ignorance is the cushion that will carry all of it. The comments I’ve seen prove Americans consume mistruths like candy, refuse to do the research and remain happily and deeply ignorant. A cataclysmic combination. Stupidity both leads & follows.
