    Love Fargo, really great show. As a subjective empirical observation, I can confirm yes, there really are people that are that dumb, and yes they regularly get promoted. And yes, there are people who are so sexist (or homophobic, racist, or all three) that they would rather agree with and promote someone dumb than compromise a millimetre of their bigotry. The writing in fictionalshows like Fargo is so brilliant because it can highlight these traits by allowing them to run free in absurdist criminal storylines. The best fiction is always a keen observation of the truth of the human condition.
