Most CHUDs didn't go to underfunded intercity schools with moldy textbooks. They went to well funded suburban middle class schools which, yeah are still US public schools, but still provide better educational opportunities than what most people in the world have.

CHUD aren't fascists because their social studies teacher was underpaid, they're fascists because fascism speaks to them and their values. They are fascists at the end of the day because they like being fascists.

And further more, unless you embrace full hard determinism, you have to view these people as culpable to some extend for the awful politics they support. Yeah, none are immune to propaganda, we are shaped by are culture yadda yadda. But I have to think humans have some capacity of will to rise above their social conditioning, if they're willing didn't society would never evolve or change for the better.

Yeah agreed. I'm not an educated person but I'm also not blind. Well I am blind but not mentally.

Point I mean to say is, the main driver in them is hate. The stupidity plays a role in fueling the hate. But the people capitalizing on their hate are highly educated billionaires so lack of education can't be solely blamed. If anything it was an abundance of miseducation
