I'm done being "supportive" of anti-intellectualism. I've been against it for years because of exactly this type of outcome. "But they don't have as easy access to the information as we do." Fuck off with that bs, even farmers have smartphones, which have access to the same internet everyone else is using. Stop coddling stupid people. Ignorance is often just as harmful as intentional malice. Intelligence is mostly learned, anyway. So is stupidity. Excluding people with actual mental delays.
