    Politician, sure. But people are easily duped, especially when they’re uneducated. That doesn’t make them evil, especially when there’s a multi-billion dollar disinformation network constantly trying to mislead them.

      When “brown people = bad” is the main reason or doing anything, that makes you evil. I don’t care how much disinformation you’re being fed, at some point you have to use common sense and logic
