          Not to absolve these people, but half of our government has been at full on war with education since at least Reagen. They’ve been fighting tooth and nail for an army of uneducated meat-bots for the past 40 years, and now their investments are paying off.

      The Reich wing found out that fighting a perpetual culture war where you make EVERYTHING out to be an attack on your sense of decency and morality and then have propaganda outlets do absolutely nothing else but harp on that culture war 24/7 and never report on your shit votes or comments is INSANELY effective at getting people to vote for you no matter how fucked up you are.

    It’s the hierarchy. If you didn’t want to die of heat stroke, you should’ve been an Elon Musk.

    Just keep blaming the people they treat like expendable cogs.
