Truth is, this nation thrives on stupidity.
There isn't a conservative politician alive that doesn't harp on "elites". By that, they mean "people who went to college and actually learned something".
I'm working a temp job, been unemployed for most of the past year and a half, and I'm an "elite" to the GOP.
Why? Because I think. I don't let child rapist drug addicts tell me what to think on the radio like anyone ingesting hours of Lush Rimjob does every day.
I don't think a failed quitter of a angry, racist governor of less people than live in my city of Rochester is a hero. Actually, given all the baggage, meth-addled children, illiterate comments, and moronic marketing, I'd almost feel sorry for her.
That's just literally the tippy top of the pond scum you have to adulate to be a Republican these days. You have to believe that life begins the very moment a drug teenager ejaculates anywhere in the zip code of a ripe ovum. You have to believe the world began somewhere in the book of Genesis and no earlier. The seas are not rising, pizza is a vegetable (not to mention ketchup). Traitors from Jefferson Davis to Oliver North are heroes.
And so on.
But worst of all is the disdain of education. Kids are not supposed to learn how their bodies work. And they certainly should not learn that there are more than two genders. History only matters when written from the perspective of wealthy, mostly white, landowners. Slavery had no bearing on the Civil War breaking out. Etc.
And now this bit - again - with evolution and "Creative Writing", err, "Intelligent Design". Look, believe whatever makes you make sense of the world. That said, science exists. Don't like science? Try this test.
You know what else started off as a theory? You know, like evolution? Gravity. You refuse to believe in theories, go climb up a tall mountain, or a building I suppose. That said, if a building, don't use the elevator. Evil science made that.
Step out at the top and jump.
That simple.
God might save you, I'll definitely allow for that, but that theory that Galileo and Newton and others worked on proving is probably going to turn you into mush on impact.
And that, at least, would solve a problem, if not make you change your mind.
