“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

@marcus_ohreallyus If ignorance is a fire we'd be able to power our way through the energy crisis with power bills so low even a Republican could do the math. If ignorance was a fire we could just have people stand inside the power stations and talk to the boilers instead of burning coal or gas or using Uranium. If ignorance was a fire we'd be able to see Texas from Pluto. If ignorance was a fire you wouldn't need a barbeque in Texas. You'd just lay out the meat and asked in a loud voice, "Da ya'll know wit ig-nar-ent meenz?" If ignorance was a fire you wouldn't need street lighting. You'd just mount MAGA hats on poles. I had to stop there and let others have a go. You may have started something.

@sanctifymymusic You right just calling them things isn't helpful, but accepting the frustration everyone has with them is understandable. Something you didn't mention which few speak about and needs to be ASKED a lot more is: WHY did so many people jump on the Trump band wagon. 63 million in 2016 and 74 million in 2020. How many ask - where did those extra 11 million come from? How many people top and think about just what 74 million means? Do any of you realise that there are only 2 countries in Europe with populations larger - Germany and Russia. Other than Brazil, Mexico and America there's no other countries with populations that large. Its easy to look at these people and say they are stupid. Its a lot harder to ask why they are so angry they'd vote for such an obvious liar as Trump.

@captainawesome730 You've hit one thing on the head - "everyone else sucks" If you go and watch people like Mark Blyth talk about things like "Global Trumpism" (and he's done talks on that) its way more common than you think. There's a lot of frustration in world politics. Through media scrutiny and polling data influence most of the developed world's governments have become trapped in their own garbage. They can't make decisions that some people don't like and these days the "other side" which every Western nation has sees everything the government does as WRONG and pounds away at the media yelling and howling about it. Its now so bad most of the establishment parties can't put forward any real leaders BECAUSE THEY HAVE NONE. They have pushed them all out. Go look at the Dems or GOP. Go look at British Labor or the Tories. Go look at Australia, Canada, Japan or anywhere in Europe. The power players in the parties have been killing off the careers of anyone who might threaten the baby boomer leadership. Interestingly Peter Zeihan the geopolitical strategist has been pointing out that Putin in Russia and Xi in China have also killed of any potential contenders. The actor Tom Walker who plays the fake political correspondent Jonathan Pie ahs said in interviews there's no leadership on either side of British politics. How is it that an actor who plays a spoof has a better handle on politics than the real media. This is what mainstream media and establishment politicians DON'T GET. We can all see through them and their crap.
