'Low information voters': Is ignorance really bliss? My experience.
I've known him since 1963.
We were squadron mates flying fighters in the Air Force.
He was my best man at our wedding in 1969.
He is 76 and I am 75.
He lives a couple of blocks from me.
We walk through the neighborhood, a couple of miles, every morning.
He claims to be an independent voter, but he's really a conservative Republican.
I commented that Reince Priebus had been named chief of staff.
"Yeah? Who's he?"
"The head of the RNC."
"The what?"
The Republican National Committee."
"Oh."
I mentioned Breitbart.
"What's that?"
"It's an alt conservative website."
"What's alt conservative?"
"It's the racist, far right wing of the Republican party. Have you ever looked at it?"
"Nope. Never heard of it."
"Trump just named the head of the website as his main advisor. Steve Bannon. Ever heard of him?"
"Nope. I don't think Trump's a racist. He's gonna appoint Dr. Ben Carson to his cabinet."
This is not a stupid guy.
Has a graduate degree in electrical engineering from the U. of Alabama
Was a captain for a major international airline for 30+ years.
He is totally clueless when it come to public affairs and he is driving me nuts.
