>a lot of stupid people

I mean not being condescending to them would go a long way.

They're generally not on HN. And since they're not here, we might as well speak about the problem using plain language.

There are plenty of Trump voters on HN, though.

Do you mean republicans? That’s different. I have some sympathy for the whole small government thing. I even kinda vote that way myself. But there’s a certain kind of person who will instantly vote for a “man of the people” who “tells it like it is” and promises that he’ll fix everything and says the foreigners took your jobs. And we have a term for those people.

Honestly I'm realizing they're right, I've seen multiple comments here promoting the great replacement conspiracy. Personally I don't mind calling such people stupid, but, they are on HN.

I don't understand why people look for a conspiracy. The people being replaced are being replaced because they're not having any babies. There's no government policy for that, nor is one needed. Is anything less than being forced by the government to have kids a conspiracy to being replaced by people who do have kids? What a weird thing to think.

How else do you describe people who didn't know what a tariff was, didn't care to check how it works, blindly believes that other countries will pay for it (especially after Mexico didn't really pay for the wall the first time around?), and will likely still believe whatever misinformation they're fed next time?
