  1. Memes make me laugh. What they DON'T do is inform me or my worldview. If you're looking at memes and think you're learning anything, you really need to go back to school. Meme candidates are one of the worst things to happen to politics.

  2. The average newspaper was written at a third-grade level when I was growing up. When we did a grade-wide reading comprehension test when I was in the sixth grade, I found I didn't read at a sixth-grade level, I read at a college level. Most of my classmates either met or fell behind the sixth-grade level. I'm not even particularly that smart, I just read a lot. It's like a muscle, if you don't exercise it, it atrophies. When I was young, most people read the newspaper. By the time I reached high school, most people didn't read the newspaper, they had the news read to them. Now, they get news from echo chambers and memes and think they're informed. Maybe if we were all still reading the newspaper, we wouldn't be so easily fooled as a nation.
