There is a large pool of deliberately, defiantly ignorant people in our country. Actually, there are probably varying degrees of bias and ignorance, and probably all of us are wrong about some of what we think we know. Trump's constituency, however, has won some kind of prize in this woeful competition. And Trump certainly does hold his own in the individual prize competition.

And I think "most" is not strong enough!
I think "nearly all" is closer to the mark!

But that's the point - the anti-government conservatives wanted to prove that their anti-govenrment policies don't work, so they got the most boorish, disgusting, grossly unqualified jackass they could to carry out their wildest fantasies. And it worked. And we all got screwed because of it.
