    Yeah we know a large amount of the population has a middle school level intelligence and an elementary school ability to read. Doesn’t mean we got a cater to morons instead of publicly educating them.

      True, but part of this is impact and speed. As an uneducated person, you can immediately grasp what’s intended here and why it’s bad. Takes longer, and probably time you guys in the U.S.* simply don’t have, to better educate folks to come to the same ultimate conclusion in large enough numbers.

      Your education systems are widely gutted, general level of political knowledge is poor, and you have folks speed running to old school authoritarianism with the support of a lot of dumb people - and those folks are very close to the finish line. You. Don’t. Have. Time. I’m not saying I’m a fan but there’s a practical component to this.
