Are VERY easily manipulated en masse and fear is a great tool for achieving desperate goals across the political spectrum.

A crowd is only as rational as it's most gullible member and the way American media and politicians have deliberately dumbed down our populace is astounding.

And scary- considering how badly we need a well educated and rational nation during a crisis. Or during a made up crisis.
