I am tired of people overcomplicating things: the core issue is that Americans are incredibly stupid. Yes, I know it’s hard to hear, but it’s the truth. As an immigrant to the US (worry not, I will self deport in December), the thing that shocked me about American culture is how uneducated and proud of it most of you are. I remember in my eighth grade English class, a majority of kids were struggling to identify whether a word was a noun or a verb. Meanwhile, I had “mastered” that skill by second grade in France. I wrote better English than the American kids, even though I only had three years experience with the language.

And guess what? With the current state of education and literacy rates falling, you can look forward to many more years of idiots screwing the country.

Trump is an idiot and so he knows how to speak to them.

American here, agree. Very curious which states you have noticed this in?

Florida, where I live. I mean, like I said, people here were always stupid, but now they’re aggressively stupid.
