    considering how stridently the Republican Party has been attacking public education for the past 50 years or so, this is a predictable result. They don’t need every American to be incurious and shallow, they just need enough to tilt elections in their favor.

      Sitting here in Germany, looking at the shambles of our political landscape, looking over at you, reading this and remembering Trump saying to/about Musk that he’s “a genius” and America doesn’t have many of them left…i can only laugh at the utterly infuriating powerlessness against such kind of disregard for basically anything that has changed since the dark ages and the utter ignorance. My anger is slowly shifting to sorrow…

      Right, it’s no surprise that the lesser educated religious tend to have larger families that go on to vote Republican bc that’s what Jesus would want.
