Not just poorly educated, but intentionally only taught absolute basics and trained to think being educated is a negative thing. US media through the last almost 40 years also have disparaged education and educated people, in all modus as well, not just tv/film. As an American with a college degree, I want to be mad at the people who fall into the easy traps republicans have been spinning for decades, "vote for me I'll get you all jobs and save you from those naughty Democrats", just to turn around and stuff their pockets with their constituents cash. If it happened once maybe it would be understandable, but some of the absolutely worst politicians have been in their roles for DECADES with their voters having NOTHING to show for it!
Thankfully I live in a blue state and my family are intelligent and considerate people.

Absolute cunt. Voted for by absolute idiots.
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.
