Therein lies the ‘problem’, no? Though we can see w/out the rose-colored/Leftist specs, it takes the other (tipping-point yet?) 1/2 a kick-in-the-teeth moment to (partially/momentarily) come around.
Something about ‘fixing stupid’ comes to mind...
Reminds me of a quote from a great American: “You’re stuck on stupid son, that’s your problem. You’re stuck on stupid.”
