But hey, I'm the sort of nerd who can name all 9 SC justices without googling, so I perhaps offer a little more slack to the average American's civic ignorance, because I'm so accustomed to it. Let's be honest; he could have sought out Ted Cruz supporters and gotten exactly the same video footage, except that all of the people on it would have been white men. It's not that Clinton supporters oppose the Bill of Rights; it's that people support candidates over policies. Because they seem to have confused politics with sports.
For example, here is Samantha Bee in 2008, talking to GOP conventioneers about Sarah and Bristol Palin.

And in 2012, talking about how they oppose abortion under all circumstances, but it's totally cool that the guy they want for President doesn't:

i was in charge of trivia questions for a local civic org. no one got this question right:
how many justices are women?
but then, i had someone come in my office and hand me paperwork with his name on it.
i said hey, i know that name. that guy was famous in mexico, wasn't he president?!?! lol he was impressed, by husband said i'm a nerd. can't argue with that.
