We're in a society of anti-intellectualism run by a literal convicted rapist, felon, fraud and terrorist. People, and I mean everyone, should strive to be as educated and informed as possible. We had a president who was trying to pardon student dept but the worthless masses chose a fascist monster over that. They chose a rapist over a woman. They chose racism and bigotry over human decency.
