Mongo has been beating the Republicans-are-stupid drum for quite some time.
Kind of. Those who aren't rich and vote republican are stupid. The ones in positions of power vary from stupid to intelligent, but they're all dangerous. Before 2010 I didn't really care much about politics, but living in the US during the tea party takeover even I saw the threat to the US and the entire world, and the decade since seems only to have validated those concerns.
Any movement whose core tenet relies on denial of truth and adherence to a fabrication poses a threat to our society. Anti-vaxxers, climate change deniers, republicans, are all minority groups wielding an inequitable amount of power to do real, measurable damage to the rest of us. It needs to be stopped somehow, but I don't know how and I haven't heard from anyone else who does yet.
We're very much in a dark age as a species and a civilization.
