    I do not trust Americans to “do their own research”. I’ve seen how that has gone in the past. Too many Americans do their own research while scrolling Facebook from the toilet.

      Research requires a critical mind. Think of a person you know that has average intelligence, 50% of people are more stupid than that.

      And I’m not saying that stupidity is solely an issue for the republican electorate, I’m just saying “do your own research” is an unrealistic expectation.

      People need to be engaged with.
