Unfortunately, this kind of ignorance comes from a weakening of our education system. It's not just on them that this has happened, and its only going to get worse if we don't try to stop it.
Hey, exactly! The fact that we are even allowing this nonsense is a true testimony to how extremely important education is! If you remain ignorant, you are more easily persuaded to believe anything because you aren't taught what "bullshit" is, and have no real ability to think for yourself.
Education is freedom from ignorance.
And that's why red states are slashing school budgets en masse and continue to have consistently terrible academic performance.
Don't forget the propaganda.
This!!! I don't actually expect our K thru 12 education system to inform the average people about macro-economic policy impacts. This is about being gullible, hearing what you want to hear, refusing to listen to opposing opinions with an open mind, and hero worship.
So if there's anything to blame on our education system (and society culture at large) it's a lack of critical thinking education and an excess of magical thinking education that emphasizes blind agreement with authority.
Unfortunately one of the stated plans is for trump to completely and utterly eliminate the department of education entirely.
