"Also explains why so many people here love Americans but remain amazed at how gullible the American electorate can be. Hence my somewhat insulting but occasionally accurate depiction of Dumbfuckistan. "

I think the main cause of that gullibility is arrogantly thinking that one is so much smarter and better than others that they don't think normal rules apply to them.

One way that this is manifested is the use of meaningless labels like , "liberal" as the Tea Party uses it, "Fascist" as liberals use it. and "Dumbfuckistan" as Musket uses it.
