10. Sorry

non-educated and not very bright. These people hold a silent grudge against anyone or anything that they perceive as brighter, more educated, or smarter than they are, and they will tear down anything, including their own and their own finances, home, social support, to prove their own point. Maybe it's a self-congratulatory posture at their own brilliance. You cannot educate them, or explain to them how they will be better off by changing their beliefs because they already know better than you and you're just trying to pull a fast one on them. True paranoia does not go unrewarded.

We all blame Fox News. Ok. I believe that. But Fox News has found fertile ground in a populace with soft psychological boundaries yet inner mental rigidity. It's a mindset. These folks tuned out education in the 8th grade. They accept heroes that sound good to them because they have no criteria and no mental skills to question charlatans.
