Another point--this is the end result of a 40 year battle by the Religious Right to cripple the education system in this country. "Christian" home schooling has created a generation of drones that mindlessly flood their Corporate masters and vote Republican.

Listening recently to my Republican/Libertarian friends at the gym, I see the mentality presciently described in this article. They are not simply 'know nothing' but in fact 'have all the answers' and therefore don't have any interest or reason to believe that anything other than what they want to believe is true. The reason they adore Trump is because he simply vilifies the "enemy:" everybody who disagrees with him. Having a mouthpiece platform like Twitter has enabled him to do this; and because our media reports everything without a filter, the loudest voice wins. That loud voice is Trump and his MAGA/Fox News base. By distorting the truth to whatever he sees fit, Trump and his MAGA crowd are destroying our Republic because the Constitution was founded on principles of truth and reason.
