      Yes, a lot of them do. But quite a few others are having their critical thinking skills and understanding of the world deliberately starved by conniving politicians (usually in red states) who want to keep them as dumb as possible.

        I’m sorry but if you’re a dumb adult in 2025 and you don’t have a physiological impairment that’s on you. There’s more free educational information on the internet today than you could find in the library at Harvard or Princeton 50 years ago. Choosing not to look at any of it isn’t someone else’s fault no matter how much they may benefit from you continuing on in your dumb ways.
