Anti-intellectualism, people who think ReTweet on Twitter is the end-game of democracy, the ability to press a button on an Apple iPhone touch-screen gives them equal thinking. That short-length clever device button-pushing is democracy itself. That Fox News channel changing is equal to MSDNC. That Robert Reich's opinion is just as democratically equal to Donald Trump's, since Trump got a degree in Economics in May 1968, he is an expert on tariff wordbuzz.
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Isaac Asimov, 1980. Ask yourself: Is MAGA a cult? Is Twitter a cult? is chanting "JD Vance couch couch couch" a cult?
