They're all rooting for Biden to fail

8. We have one of the most scientifically and politically illiterate populations...

Especially for our level of wealth and industrial advancement. When I travelled to Morocco many many years ago, even as a poor country with a relatively regressive government, you would be surprised how much the average person knew about what was going on in the US at the time (talking 2007). In return, we as a general population, know absolutely nothing about what is going on in any other country. Many of us couldn't even point out Morocco on a map.

Our education system is chronically underfunded and beset on all sides with morons who want to ban the teaching of "this" or "that" which is usually anything having to do with our VERY checkered past and present on race, economics, and foreign policy. You ask any Conservative about immigration, and they'll tell you "they're coming to steal our jobs" and talk about "shithole" countries, knowing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the legacy of interference and exploitation, especially in Latin America since the time of our emergence as a sovereign nation. It was in Monroe's presidency that the Monroe Doctrine was laid out. WE told Europe to stay out of affairs in the Western Hemisphere, not because we wanted to end colonialism, but because the Western Hemisphere was for America to mess with.

We need to deal with our scientific and political illiteracy and the scourge of right wing propaganda.
