Some times I like to think about what a great country we would have

if there were no right wingers. We could regulate corporations better. We could have a living wage and close to full employment. There are so many good things we could do if the stupid people on the right would stop being dupes for their masters.
Then I come back to reality

So Tracy Jordan starts a group called the National Association Of Zero Intolerance to help be an advocacy group for idiots.

And then at the end of the episode Tina Fey attends one of their rallies and is like "Oh my god you people are idiots! Thanks to you there's going to be an Entourage movie! And thanks to you we have tacos that taste like Doritos and indicators telling you how cold beer is. And in November you repeatedly vote against your best interests like free health care, better education and higher wages!"

Sums up pretty nicely who the low information voters are!

I agree there will always be good vs evil, it is a relative thing.

But the evil has evolved strong due to its ruthlessness.
