There IS fixing uninformed. People can be told. Then they can become willfully ignorant if they choose, which is another kettle of fish.

Stupid? Not much fixing available, but even there, people can be taught logical, clear thinking. If they don't think they are stable geniuses.

say that this guy's life is going to change for the worse when his family and friends see how dumb he really is, on national TV. Can't say I'm sorry, because I'm not. If you're going to speak out, at least be aware of the facts before you go preaching to others.

It's stunning the load of crap they have floating around in their heads where most have gray matter instead.

Why are they so open to this kind of crap???? It's not like the truth isn't out there -- they just shun it, not simply ignore it or contradict it with a screwed up explanation. Easier, I guess, to be spoon fed lies by Faux Snooze than to seek the truth.

It's one thing not to know history from, say, 75 years ago (or 100, 500, 1,000 years). It's another to be clueless about something that happened much more recently. These people aren't kidding; they really don't know that Obama wasn't president on 9/11/2001 or that he was 14 years old when the Vietnam war ended. Plus, they're proud of their ignorance.

** as explained to me in 2016 by a young guy who didn't like his election choices and wanted a do-over. No doubt who he actually voted for.

When I told him that didn't happen and asked for his source, he mumbled something about Obama voting and making laws after midnight.

Then he told me to do my research.

people who are "fed up with the system". We gotta fix that. The only way I know how is to live up to our word -- do what we say we are going to do. The only way to do that is to harness their power -- people power. I hate to say anything that isn't horrible about tRump, but we gotta do what he is doing ... rallying the troops at every turn, taking the fight to the street every day.

I'm not saying we (as a party) never do that. I'm just saying we can do it better and more consistently.
