    We are witnessing, in real time, an expression of how much of humanity is willing to, nay, demands to be enslaved by ideologies.

    This is the result of Republicans chipping away at public education for decades. It has resulted in a nation full of idiots.

    This is why Trump wants to dismantle the department of education. This is why he loves the uneducated. They don’t know any better.
