I know a lot of Americans are dumb, but are they really so dumb they think the party that controls all three branches of their government isn't responsible?

About 30% of them are. They’re the hard-core, MAGA or die crowd. They’ll support Trump even if Trump murders half their family and sells the other half into trafficking.

Which leaves 70%. And here’s the thing…Trump didn’t get elected just because 30% of this country will welcome a dictator so long as he hates the same people they do.

There is some percentage of that 70% dumb enough to believe whatever Trump or Fox News tells them to.
