Maybe the internet has shown us people that were already dumb but we just didn't have a way of knowing they exist?

It gave them the means to find each other and also gave them a sort of megaphone to shout and spread their stupidity.

And then they voted, and turns out it was like half of the voting population.

Yes, but now stupid people can easily collaborate with other stupid people, amplifying the echo-chamber-circle-jerk on a global, nearly instantaneous level. Furthering the stupid at a never before seen rate.

Used to be every village had their idiot. Now every idiot has their village.
