“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.”
What a quote. Wish I had one for how spot on it is. Be interesting to analyze in a percentile the approximate power it has on the states but it’s immense.

I spent long enough telling myself that stereotypes are not useful and that I shouldn't think of the stereotypical 'stupid' American.
But they keep proving me wrong. Over and over.
