It's hard to believe

But a large majority of Americans can't read beyond elementary school level. The person you are arguing with about trump probably cannot comprehend your comments because they are unable to.

This is why so many rely on YouTube and videos for their information. If it isn't spoken, they can't understand what is being said.

This is also how YouTube videos indoctrinated so many anti-vaxers, anti-maskers, fascists and authoritarian actions like rounding up and punishing immigrants, trans and homophobia, and several other tactics previously used by the Nazis to indoctrinate people.

If you can't read at a 12th grade level, you are easily indoctrinated by propaganda because you cannot comprehend what you are reading. This makes you an asset to fascists.

I can't disagree, but worse yet is those who are so filled with hate of others not like them, that they can't/won't see past their hate or be bothered with anyone who thinks differently.

Their ignorance is astounding.

@Ontheroad When one believes they know the truth, why should they seek for more beyond themselves? Their thurths may be exposed as frauds and that would cause them to rethink their beliefs. Better to insist they are correct than have to admit they may not know everything they are pontificating.

@FoxyQueen that's certainly part of it, but I think it goes much deeper. I'm convinced their hatred is rooted in fear of anything or anyone not them. Fear of the unknown is for many, insurmountable and results in hate.

@Ontheroad Absolutely. Many people could do with exposure to Plato's Allegory of the Cave.
