The government told her the bombing was OK, and because it's not Trump, she agrees and knows all the information to be truthful and accurate.

Aristotle called these people "natural slaves"

It's the appeal to authority fallacy. Leftists seem obsessed with "experts" and take anything they say as truth.

"I read two overpriced textbooks about this subject one semester at college and forgot most of it the next semester... what's your expertise again!?

Calling them slaves implies that they are useful in some way.

Aristotle's context was someone whose life is better served (or greater utility) when they are told what to do or think.

At the time it was considered that children fell into this category (inexperienced at life), mentally deficient people (unable to fully reason), and women (it's a little bit dated idea, but it related to passions)

Just passing on the thoughts.
