The slightly less negative view is that it’s not so much stupidity, more like vulnerability. To propaganda. To personality. To fear, and the stoking thereof.

Pretty far gone, but not too far gone.

They are racists to the core. They will respond favorably to any strong white male who assures them that they are right and people of color are demanding too much and must be put in their place. I still recall my brother casually using the term “uppity” to describe Obama and dismissing statistics that show how high maternal mortality and infant mortality in our nation compared to other first world countries because those statistics included the poor and people of color. I am sure that his attitudes were influenced by his Texas wife and their move to Texas. Propaganda definitely affects their views, but not real fear, except contempt of the other.
