american politics is not the same as american people even if they are the ones voting for politicians
if you are living in a cave you that was built around you before you were born it could be difficult to see whats outside
its like if you would say north korean people are dumb ass motherfuckers that they elected the kim dynasty altho generations grew up in a world where they have no fuckin clue about what is actually happening around them because they have no information channels and even if they had they would be killed immediately
