“I really thought things would change after this administration, when we have Mr. Trump in office, things would change to the better,” Atallah said. “Things actually changed to the worse.”
“The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim. An individual in a crowd is a grain of sand amid other grains of sand, which the wind stirs up at will.”

on reddit someone said the stupid people(magats, conservatives), often are “stupidly confidant” because they are unaware that thier views and motives are wrong, so they assume they are in the right most of the time. even a Law school/MD can lack smarts in many areas, despite being book smart.

I feel like there’s a large subset of people that will just believe anything if it’s said confidently.

No one is good at everything. I reckon the people sucked into MAGA were the people with no skill in bullshit detection.
Credulous people.
That’s a different axis to any other category of smart, though so many are also stupid
It’s Dunning-Kruger all the way down.
