"how dumb can people be?"
WAY more dumb that you or I could dream.
The current Washington Mafia and their ability to control the news outlets ..... I call it the Gaslighting of America. So many things are so made up and yet they keep spewing it and then a good number of people drink the Kool-Aid. The lies are so obvious and yet they just keep on coming. It's really terrible..... and sad at the same time.
It's a challenging time for America and I think the losers will be the population...a sad fact.
There's so many things wrong, so much discord and greed, lies, misperceptions and agendas that play into the hands of the puppet masters at the top...a way forward? Yeah of course...but will it be taken? Nope, I doubt it. The same old story and so it goes...and the ripple effects will touch the rest of the world.
