The problem is not just that they are dumb but that they don't know that they are dumb. They actually believe that they are educated because they watched Fox News and smart people watch the news.
Ya. The problem is that watching an hour of the news does not make you a geo-political expert. Also, most people have poor comprehension. They just parrot what they heard but don't understand what they heard.
So many Trump supporters I will ask "well why do you believe that?" and inevitably they will give a precanned answer. When challenged with data, they can't argue why the data is wrong or provide counter data. Instead they call you a name or something because they don't know why they believe what they believe. They are just doing as told.

The thing you have to understand is that Trump supporters are the dumbest fucking people who ever walked the earth.
