Yes, you can reduce 70M voters to that.
But you maybe shouldn't: this isn't just an issue of stupidity. 70M Americans are unfathomably stupid and essentially just fascists. That's a much bigger issue. They're in favour of a party whose messaging has evolved closer and closer to actual Nazi rhetoric to the point where there's a huge overlap.
EDIT: And just to be absolutely crystal clear on this: I am using neither fascism nor Nazism as insults. I am using them as terms describing a set of political beliefs and rhetoric patterns, as they have been used since the early 1900s. I strongly believe that these terms are appropriate descriptors of what we are seeing and it's terrifying.
