It isn't impossible to hypnotize/brainwash a stupid person. Under many conditions, it is actually easier to, than an intelligent person. Yet intelligence is not immunity, and thus we have witnessed a group delusion system infecting our society. One cannot build a wall to keep that from manifesting in ths country.

In such circumstances, a sociopath can obtain social-political party. When he does, his gravitational pull will always bring the most cruel anti-social personality disordered in close, as the group to carry out his orders. Yet they influence him to become more cruel and destructive in an attempt to both consolidate power and feed their lusts for hurting others.

This has been a terrible era in our country's history. But we will come through it.
