On the one hand: I agree. On the other: what is the problem with illiterates agreeing with you on an issue?

Illiterates can set narratives, as seen with the Trump administration, and that can include extremely dangerous and damaging narratives.

Illiterates decide elections if nothing else

We certainly saw that in 2024, when a narrative pushed by political illiterates posited that it wasn't worth voting because both sides were the same in the end.
