That's true for much of Trump's base, but it's not especially true for the marginal Trump voter.

That's what they are.
We've been celebrating ignorance for a long time now. But this isn't like Xkcd's "lucky 10,000". This willful choice to embrace ignorance has deadly consequences.
Americans have a civic duty to vote, and they have a civic duty to be informed when they vote. This isn't like a local election where information is hard to find. Trump is doing exactly what he said he was going to do.
"Willfully ignorant fool" should be an insult as strong as "Fascist".
