"we'll never be able to accomplish fascism in the US because our base of suburban Fox News watchers are stupid and incurious about political theory" is a pretty amusing premise

Liberals skim NYT articles and Stephen Pinker books.

They don't know how to think and therefore cannot learn. The idea that reading entails actually reading multiple history books in a topic from hard-nosed scholars and from different angles of political theory is an unimaginable amount of work to them, which is what I personally think of when I say liberals don't read. Sure they're literate and do a little half-assed reading but they refuse to acknowledge their ignorance and instead think their half-assed reading is sufficient to form a good opinion.
