because this current conservative craze has also bolstered an "it's OK to be stupid" push. I guess at some point that's ok ... stupid people are still people and being even halfway intelligent isn't everything. But IMO you at least want smart people in charge don't you?
Because they are idiots and would rather believe conspiracy theorists than exercise their brains by using science and logic.
