If we do not read history -- and read it widely -- ultimately relying on deeply-contextualized research and analysis by professional historians, human beings will gravitate toward opinions that inflame the lesser angels of their nature. QAnon and Trump Cult are benighted sources of false information by which fakriots pretend to be patriots. Darker than black holes, they should be ashamed of their self-imposed benightedness.

Tragically, they believe that opinion is on equal footing with truth, and are therefore too stupid to know they're stupid.
