They’re pod people, who believe everything they’re told, and insulate themselves from reality just as surely as those poor simpletons in Waco, Jonestown, or that Crazy comet house in San Diego, or wherever

There is no hope for them

The only hope is that the demographics are such that most of them will be dying off, so that they won’t be able to impact any more elections

Sure are a lot of the young and super super dumb, though.

How do they survive in the world of reality?

They must all cling together in communities of Idiocratic pristinity
