Why We Elect Idiots

Perhaps “idiots” is the wrong word.  The actual driver behind our electing the people shown at left is that many of us are desperate to be told that what we believe is true, even though if it’s plainly incorrect.

Take the assertion that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.  Even Fox News went on camera and told its viewers that this was categorically false, that there was no evidence to support the claim, that they made it up, and they apologize for doing so.

Is that good enough for the people who vote for people who vote for Marjorie Taylor Greene?  Of course not.  If you want to win a House seat from that part of rural Georgia, and you’re not willing to say the election was stolen, then you’re going to lose. It’s that simple.
