Intellectualism Is Dead And The Right Killed It

Conservatives have always been anti-intellectual. This is nothing new and we need to stop them before it’s too late. We cannot be ruled by fools.

So refreshing to hear people talk about politics and use complete sentences.

I have been saying that for decades now. Tried to work with ranchers and farmers in regards to fisheries and riparian areas (god those people were dumb), then moved to climate change in later years. It was better to beat my head against a wall. Talking to people I knew about current affairs or history, facts didn't matter. Purged myself of most of those people and have had as little contact with those types as possible. Helps my sanity.

Having too many educated critical thinking voters makes it hard to shift wealth away from working-class Americans up to the billionaire class. "You all just got a lot richer !!" - Donald Trump, Dec 2017, speaking to his billionaire donors and friends at his private beachfront estate following the billionaire tax cuts of 2017

Please stop calling dictators strong men.

"When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent." - Isaac Asimov. "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov

The difference in what passes as acceptable these days compared with 30 years ago is so wild. Our public servants are now a fountain of so much hate, ignorance, downright manipulation and stupidity and none of them are held accountable for their degenerate behavior.

*Conservative intellectual = a contradiction-in-terms.*
