Who cares? The issue is their gullibility and lac of education and ability to think critically.

> How about the people who have the right, and science backed answers learn how to hear out and build trust with the population, so the population actually wants to listen and trust what they say?

We're past that point. The tribalism is so entrenched that most of those people are never going to give the other side a chance.

You'd have to devote time to sit with each person individually and put in the time to try and educate and better them, and it's impossible since we don't have time or people to do that.

> The population doesn't have to be smart,

They kind of do. Or you end up with people that think Alex Jones is a credible source.

> I'm sorry, but democrats seem to have no interest in even attempting to hear the right out and to work towards building any sort of trust with them.

It's hard to hear out and build trust with a group of willfully ignorant superstitious ultra patriots who all too often behave in ways that could be described as bigoted.
