The idiots convention

Imagine you are sitting in a garage with two piston brains.  One is so stupid he is almost incoherent.  The other is actually smart, but uneducated in the traditional sense.  The brick dumb one just makes noise, but the other fellow is an old friend and reads good literature, and would be a different intellect if he had been exposed to the right education.  The topic is politics.  If you see a person with meth rotted teeth you know what happened.  They got their brain rinsed with chemicals.  Well this is sort of like the same think, but Kadizzle is talking to a guy who has had his brain rinsed with Fox News, Rush, and the usual suspects.  How do you explain to someone how Fox News works?  The discussion went round in circles as it usually does.  Kadizzle was accused of being a liberal elitist.  Then it hit Kadizzle what education is all about.  Education comes down to one simple thing if it works.  Education is about honing one's  ability to distinguish fact from fiction.  Unfortunately the Trump supporters believe that if you hears something you like, it is true.  If you think the poor are welfare cheats, and you like the idea, and Fox tells you it is true then the matter is settled.   How do . you break through this mind set.  Well if you tell someone the brakes on their car are inadequate and they don't believe you, you have to wait until they have a wreck.  So that is the Trump problem in a nutshell.
