Yet here we are complaining about trump and the Russians tricking people. I guess it didn't matter one way or another if people are just inherently evil anyway. People can be tricked or people can't. But we can't have it both ways.
I try to put myself in everyone's shoes. That includes the ignorant. If you grew up where I did you would understand some of these people never did have a chance to be civilized. Instead of some liberals helping and asking what they need, they belittle them and their culture. It's not that hard to be the bigger person.
Why do we as progressives put so much credence on education? Because we know too little will create gaps in society. These people are in the gaps. If they had the sense to get themselves out at a certain age we wouldn't need education cause it would just come to us one day... Well it doesn't. Especially people struggling just to live. Humans should learn throughout their whole lives. Sometimes it takes some people longer then others.
