it's not a matter of "too many," it's a matter of "most."
yes, americans are indeed stupid. not your average stupid stupid, but the really fucking lunatic stupid. we know this because if you ask any average american they will tell you how great our healthcare, educational, and legal systems are. none of which is even remotely close to true; all of those rank near the bottom of every (alleged) first world nation, and below more than a few third world countries. well that and, trump really was elected once before. 70,000,000 voted for that turd in 2020. what does that tell you?
I saw a bumper sticker yesterday. a us flag in military coloring of gray and black with a cross in the canton in place of the stars. this tells me that we are well and truly screwed. these miserable fucks profess themselves patriots without the slightest conception of what that means.
we are not going to vote our way out of this mess.
