      The anti-intellectualization of America is gaining speed.

          For me, I felt the biggest change around 2016 (in the US, coinciding with Cult 45 and Russian disinfo farms). There was definitely another enormous surge of insanity during COVID shutdowns (coinciding with a boom of social media grifters and moderation failures).

      “There’s no evidence for evolution”

      So where’d we come from?

      “God made us!”

      And how’d he do that?

      “He picked up a handful of dust and breathed life into it”

      And what proof do you have of this?

      “The bible says so”

      Is that all?

      “It’s all you need!”

      And that makes sense to you?

      “Of course! Where else would we have come from? Monkeys? lol, that’s insane!
