"The scariest thing to me about it is that they are just simply not interested in information."

Agreed -- I find it not just scary but incomprehensible.

"These people VOTE."

And they rise to positions of power, which is as terrifying. Every time I recall Il Buce talking about how he'd looked into Putin's soul and seen he was a good guy, I have a shiver run up my back. That's not the most dangerous of Il Buce's "thinkin' from the gut an' proud of it" conclusions, but it's the one where his absolute divorce from logic and reason was most visible. It clearly never occurred to him that judging someone this way was asinine, and most especially so when the fate of nations might well depend upon it.
