    And there is a certain level of responsibility that everyone has when it comes to educating oneself. It doesn’t absolve them

          How is it besides the point? It is the point. These people are genuinely ignorant and uneducated, and their sources for information are very narrow and distorted. Their perceptive can only change when they’re directly affected because that experience is what gives them the change necessary to learn and grow. You’re implying that they’re all malicious and evil, but I disagree with that view. I don’t they all lack empathy, I think they’re good people who have been brainwashed by a handful of genuinely vile people who seek to manipulate them for their own personal gain by keeping them blind, poor, miserable, scared, and angry. Do I think this of all MAGA? No, but I do think it applies to a significant chunk.

            I appreciate your point, and this conversation, however I think we are at an impass. I wish you well!
