People don’t make sense.

Sure they do. Stupid people fall for propaganda and these losers are stuuuuuuuupid.

You can fool some of the people all of the time. They're mostly called conservatives.

Except it's not just very stupid people. It's a big demographic swath. Some folks know what psychological buttons to consistently push and keep pushing those very reliable buttons. These are old tricks, but they're now amplified by the technology of new media -and these dillweeds have great feedback now thanks to social media to know if this week's shenanigans are playing well so they can adjust accordingly. A mess. Humankind's evolutionary biology weaponized to the benefit of a few. It's where we are.
