    And yet this is the man who is a hair’s breadth from the White House a second time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpdt7omPoa0

      Yet he’s never won the popular vote. The majority of Americans don’t like him. His backers are just good at manipulating the rubes and gaming the system.

        “Never won the popular vote” isn’t saying much considering our low voter turnout.

        Which is another thing which supports the idea that America is a pretty anti-intellectual country.

        I’m not sure why you’re trying to pretend otherwise.

          It was the highest turnout last election, no?

          Universities are not unpopular.

            Universities are not unpopular because it’s hard to get a decent-paying job without a degree unless you want to do something like be a plumber or electrician.

      You can throw statistics upon statistics and they will mean nothing without a comparison point, control group, or null hypothesis.

      This isn’t an “American” problem though

      26% of Europeans believe astrology is “very scientific” with 43% believing it is at least somewhat so.

      https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2017/08/raw-data-astrology-in-europe/

      While there is no real data on the age of the universe things you can look up, searches by country for creationism, or skepticism of evolution, show western european countries to largely be 15-40% skeptical of evolution, and eastern europe is much higher on average, but also contains the lowest skepticism of it.

      Search “skepticism of evolution in Europe by country” and you will get information - it took me several hours of reading, but it was all on that search
