Trump and Conservatism As A Threat: What Should Be Done?

[Asmodee]

That's some pretty radical thinking there in the first paragraph, and I certainly don't agree with it.  People, unfortunately but necessarily, have a right to be stupid if they choose to.  We do need some laws to protect the rest of us from mass-supidity, but that's easier said than done.  Even if you could get such laws passed, you would have to spell out each possible stupidity and how we are protected from it.  That would have to be written by a bunch of lawyers, who take pride in the cleverness of the loopholes in the documents they prepare and finding the loopholes in the documents others have prepared.  You would have to remove the human element from it completely, so even an ass like Scalia couldn't re-interpret it to say what he wanted it to say.  This is essentially impossible.
What you need instead is a massive public education campaign.  We need to start dumb-shaming people instead of coddling their ignorant asses.  If someone says something about a link between immunizations and autism, rather than calmly explaining how science shows no such link, we need to point and laugh and post videos on YouTube of them crying.  And it can't just be us.  That needs to become the norm.  Right now dumb is sexy and THAT is what needs to change.

here here idiots need this

I loathe anime entirely, but that was hilarious.
