Trump Supporters Are in the Minority, But ….

Let’s assume that this guy is exactly right, and the number is 30% on the nose.  But we need to keep in mind that it’s unequally distributed around the 50 states, so you’re going to have places like the Deep South where all this regressive garbage represents a majority perspective.

This translates into states in which abortion is banned, LGBTQs can be discriminated against, creationism is taught as science, people regard that Trump (and future con artists) as national heroes, and kids grow up believing that climate change is a hoax and that pandemics are government plots.

The problem is that this goes on in perpetuity, as ignorance and hate beget more ignorance and hate.

Can it spread?  Yes, if we let our educational system continue to founder.
