Someone once said that no one ever went broke overestimating the stupidity of the people.

I'm not optimistic. I think they'll put up with being hurt if they think others are being hurt worse. A similar statement made by LBJ when he said that if you can make white people feel superior to black people, they won't notice you picking their pockets.

That's why the authoritarian playbook includes creating an "other" for people to hate.
