And 60% of the country thinks we shouldn't teach Arabic numerals in school. We Democrats need to realize we are running campaigns that need votes from these dumbasses. We can't just be talking to each other. I mean sure, we get it. They don't. We have to remember cognitively they are children.

“In 2022, YouGov asked “What percentage of Americans do you think are ___?”
The results were hilarious.
Trans: 21%
Muslim: 27%
Jewish: 30%
Black: 41%
Live in NYC: 30%
Gay or lesbian: 30%
The errors are off by orders of magnitude. The trans estimation by 2,000%.”

I was teaching 1st, 7th, & 10th grades while getting my own BS in IT (concentration: Software Systems Engineering).
I know that I'm the exception & not the rule, but it is a bit offensive when I hear that.
I've interacted with many (not all), ranging from early teens up to people in their 30+ who severely lack basic education/knowledge & critical thinking skills.
Many can't be bothered to read anything beyond a few sentences because, "that is boring".
For example, I taught my kids fractions by baking chocolate chip cookies. They got to eat their "homework".
I also used video games to teach reading & math.
The problem is that no one way works for everyone. That's where schools fail.
That is the point.
That's why conservative entities always try to dumb down education so they can remove progressive ideas.
If you don't know what you lost, then you can't demand it back.

Their response? He’s a truth teller.
You can’t fix stupid.
OMfG... I hadn't seen this. Wow.... just wow.
How DO we go about changing this?
More acceptable being Italian and all
He voted Harris.
They all depend on the Government for their income, so I can only hope that once the Trump policies come in, they will have to learn. At this point I'm not so sure.
See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4UJuQHYhWg for some great perspective on this.
Some people have a motive beyond what we can get to. The ones we can’t touch, like them, have to come to the realization themselves.

This is how threatened they feel. Astonishing.
They've taken their revenge by becoming Trump voters.
Agree we need short simple slogans, repeat repeat repeat.
I thought it was so simple minded (obviously misleading) but it seems that they dumbed their campaign down to their supporters level and it worked.
Leftists are vulnerable to this as well, BTW. It's a human thing not a right/left thing or smart/dumb thing.

Say it over and over and over and over again. Not whisper it a few times on a Sunday roundtable discussion, in a professorial tone.

I yell at the TV. No! They are not smart!
the media globs onto to a simplistic narrative for clicks.
Repetition of a simple message like Lincoln Project does is how we break through.
Have Cuban buy MSNBC and remake it into a truth based version of Fox.
