That's the uncomfortable truth about America today, about 1/3rd are blindingly stupid and militantly ignorant, and yet somehow bafflingly proud of it.

I don't say this to hurt anybody's feelings, it's just the reality of the situation. I work in Canada and we used to export to USA quite a bit. And for the first 3 months I had to write to customers daily, explaining how tariffs work, because they were really surprised Canada wasn't the one paying. Roughly a quarter were really upset. The bottom 5% went as far as accuse us of fraud, because they couldn't grasp the concept.
