    We need a word for people who are either willfully ignorant or just ‘too tired for politics’. Like it’s nearly the majority of people I find, but they’re so used to being the default idk if they ever consider other options

    Kinda like how the word ‘cis’ pisses people off because it makes them realize their state of being (like all states of being) is neither eternal nor predestined.

    I almost want to call them ‘muggles’ just to spit in Rowling’s face, but she really doesn’t need the free advertising

      Ignoramus comes to mind

      Edit: “A totally ignorant person—unknowledgeable, uneducated, or uninformed; a fool.”

      Yep that’s the word
