Just how stupid are we?

"Vote for me, and I will cure cancer.  If you do not vote for me, you will probably get cancer and die."  That about sums up the latest campaign news.

Are people stupid enough to fall for this?  Well, maybe.

In defense of the Seven Dwarves thing... we've had slighly over 60 years to get to know them. And they've been marketed with easy to remember names (who can forget Dopey?) all that time as well.

The Supreme Court is... well, not really thought of as a collection of individuals, but instead as a monolith. And we weren't introduced to CJ John Roberts in an entertaining method at age 4...

True. But I'll bet you that adults who can't name any Dwarfs or any Justices are more likely to look the Dwarfs up on Google.
