oh, the reason for that is simple and utterly insidious:
people who live in a state of self-perpetuating ignorance are *far* more comfortable with other ignorants than anyone even vaguely intellectual. An offer of 'help' is seen as interference, and deeply unwelcome. Some rich idiot bangs on about low taxes and doing whatever you like with no government oversight, that's soul food for a guy living in a shack who wants the world to leave him the hell alone. With his daughter-sister-wife. and their 10 kids. And gun closet.
And anything that might paint their beloved Republican party in a light they don't want to acknowledge is obviously the creation of the 'liberal media'...
