There other reasons of course. Incentives, social psychology and conformity, sheer ignorance and an unawareness that fields of knowledge or chains of cause and effect exist. Knowledge is very conditional and contextual, and most people don't have the brains or inclination to puzzle out abstractions, especially when a public relations narcissist is feeding them stories that purport to explain things.

Can you elaborate what actually is so nice about the last four POTUSes then ?

Any time I'm about to argue with people on the internet, I block them instead. I have zero interest in debates or proving things to people who don't matter to me and who are too lazy to read real books. If I was interested in their opinion I'd read the book they're badly mangling it from. Internet debates, political discussion, etc. are utterly pointless and exclusively the domain of people who are stupid or delusional. I, personally, do not care what anyone believes and couldn't care if everyone on the planet died tomorrow, because normies are trashkin. The sole reason I ever post things is for myself, with a sub purpose of occasionally getting useful comments from people who actually have the background and IQ to know what I'm talking about. This is why I hate public forums, because I despise the idea that anyone who wants can be somewhere.

I am interested in ideas, people can go to Hell and burn forever.
