When I speak with MAGA, they often know an awful lot about what they encounter in their day-to-day lives, such as livestock and ranching.
Get them away from that and they are very often profoundly ignorant. The larger universe began only the moment they were born, and most things that exist outside the state lines are abstractions. Which is funny, because most MAGA would have difficulty explaining the concept "abstraction".
If the Department of Education is eliminated, MAGA high school students will go back to sleeping in class and spending their spare time waiting for school to get out so they can plan their next party and get drunk.
Read it and weep, it's only long-standing reality. It's boring, silly, and claustrophobic but it's the lives they live and want to live. Fascism thrives on making these people feel somehow special.
They will get fooled: again, and again and again.
