The stupidity was always ingrained in American racial politics combined with extreme Christianity.
Leading to falsification of historic events, and denial of science especially evolution. Resulting in awful moral standards based on 2000 year old principles.
In that regard USA is more like Iran than Europe. Except Iran doesn't have the white supremacist problem. So USA may actually be worse.
How can you trust anything, when you can't trust your teachers and basic education?
Americans are stupid because the majority wants to keep it that way.
