That's what happens when you tout that learning and education is bad and for the devil.

It's a huge swathe of masses who envies the knowledge of others and fears that they do not understand. Rather than admit their faults they double down on "learning is for dummies"

Don't get me wrong, there are many learned republicans, but the smartest ones are the ones who get elected. They fuck everybody else over for their own gains while being worshipped.
