Comment on US popularity collapses worldwide in wake of Trump’s return
xtr0n@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoWe’re pretty dumb and ignorant. Our education system is awful and incredibly inequitable (funded by local property tax so only nice areas have adequately funded schools). I recently read that like half the country reads below a 6th grade level. And we have an overwhelming level of right wing disinformation coming from “news” outlets like FOX, OAN, etc.
Even with all that, about 1/3 of the country loves Trump like he’s a god, 1/3 hates him like he’s the devil and 1/3 is completely tuned out of politics. Shit is about to get real bad here and no one will be able to ignore the economic disaster so I think those numbers will change in the next few months.

Half of adults reat at or below the 6th grade level.
That doesn’t mean they don’t have an expansive vocabulary, it means they can infer but not abstract.
So, it’s bad if my daughter suffers they may ibfer from their own suffering, but women in general and possibly ways their daughter may suffer elude them.
