The Soviet Union preferred dummies to take over the industries and all aspects of civil life. They knew that dumb people could be more easily manipulated and fed the non-stop lies to keep them loyal to the clearly flawed and destructive cause. The same has occurred on the right with their anti-science/anti-expert approach to everything. Fauci is a demon but suggest using peanut butter mixed with fish tank cleaner to cure COVID and they will flock to you like you are a genius.
