The American people are idiots, our leaders are idiots, we’re just a country of idiots.
And it’s because of pride. We came to believe in our supposed exceptionalism with religious fervor. We were certain that we knew better than everyone else, because we were better than everyone else. The rest of the world didn’t have anything to teach us. We already knew everything. We became incapable of learning, incapable of growing, progressing, or adapting.

It helps too that we’ve been destroying our own education system for decades.
