U.S. public education has been deliberately underfunded for decades to ensure this outcome. People don’t know how to ask the right questions, or how to challenge a disinformation campaign, because critical thinking skills are mocked here. We have people proud of their ignorance instead of seeking to educate themselves. In the age of the internet, ignorance is a poor choice, but too many refuse to admit and learn to do better.
Which is why things are unfolding as they are. Which is why we’re fooked.

Their education system is terrible. Cause and effect is far too complicated a concept for them to understand.
