If people weren't ignorant there would be no red states.
I don't know that I agree.
The ignorance of 98% of our voting population is why our government is unproductive for all but the 1%. It's how you get Democrats who are effectively Republicans, why there always has to be a rotating Democratic villain in the Senate, and why all we've seen over the last 40 years is the slow, eventual impoverishment of the majority of American citizens. All most of them care about is team color, and if blue or red wins, they consider it a win for themselves, even if it has no material effect or a negative material effect on their lives.
Yep

Students going out of state for college are going to have to do a lot of remedial work to catch up with their classmates.
Stop, stop! They're already dumb!
We can’t access “the hub” anymore here in Mississippi either. Gotta love living in a theocracy /s
If we had any real integrity in our laws, this kind of stuff would never happen.
