    Yes. There are many political cartoons out there that are like

    KKK/Nazis/Republicans: "The blacks/Jews/non-whites are not people

    Left: “they’re people. All people deserve respect and dignity”

    “”“Centrist”“”: "wow I can’t tell you two apart " / “surely we can compromise. maybe kill half?”


    Many people were taught “everyone is entitled to their opinion” and only learned that in the most naive way. They take it as “I can believe what I want, no matter what, and you have to accept that”.

    Many people are quite stupid. I don’t mean ignorant. I don’t mean they don’t know stuff. I mean stupid. I mean they look at a set of facts and draw bad conclusions. They see more black people being arrested and go “blacks must do more crime” and don’t even consider “is enforcement equal?” or other confounding factors.

    But idiots still vote. And carry guns

    So I don’t know what the solution is.

    Probably remove all conservatives from power, first. Invest more in education. Prevent consolidation of power in the hands of the wealthy.
