Those who don't think the way you do are not "aggressively stupid", they just have other interests. That kind of dismissal doesn't help anybody.

  Personally I see it as an existential observation rather than a dismissal. On the whole, the actions of both the voting public in many countries, let alone the politicians that they vote for, do seem to be displaying an increasingly aggressive level of stupidity. Or possibly, if not stupidity, one could more accurately call it apathy.

    Think of it the other way: for some people, the public has voted very stupidly for a long time, and now they are starting to get straight.

      Or politicians are starting to deliver on their stupid promises.

      And yet those people are people whose core beliefs - or at least, the manifestation of those beliefs into policy - are, for the most part, largely objectively wrong.
