I like your optimism. But yes, I do believe that ~30% of our country is ignorant and racist. They are the perfect target for a smooth talking conman.
Ignorant is not the same as evil. Ignorance can be fixed. It's easier to just write people off but it doesn't solve anything unless you're really eager for another civil war.
