I agree wholeheartedly and you captured my sentiment. The problem is: what is "stupid"

You can have someone with no formal education who sees the grift that is MAGA a mile away. This person is wise and intelligent

You can have someone with advanced degrees from the finest institutions who is all in on MAGA. This person is a stupid loser

Knowledge and sense in one domain does not extend to knowledge and sense in another

And the streets can teach more than Oxford or Yale

The ignorance and the incompetence go together, both are inherent components of fascism.

Fascism is facile.

In the US, 41% of the college graduates that voted, voted for Trump.

People being fucking assholes is more of a problem than people being uneducated.

Anyone who thinks their voters give a shit if anything they say in front of a camera is true or makes sense is deeply ignorant.

What does any of that have to do with socialism? Well, I think I can answer it. Dick all. Also... Who is doing all these "evil" things that you think are going on? Sure there's some people that even I would say, "are going too far with X that I more or less agree with" but they're just a different flavour of fascists in my mind.
