And you wonder how Trump managed 38%? It’s because there are truly 40% of people who are stupid. Not just dumb, but actively, incredibly, unable to think for themselves stupid. I suspect humanity has been that way since the beginning of time, which makes me agree with George Carlin that we are basically a failed species.

You nailed it!
69% of Americans believe in angels.
58% of Americans believe the devil.
41% of Americans believe in ghosts.
28% of Americans say that Bigfoot definitely or probably exists.

"A significant portion of the population relies on intuition, media echo chambers, or emotional consensus rather than rigorous empirical data."

Alas, There was only one demographic Trump actually won, uneducated men.
Trump lost college educated women 61% to 37%.
Trump lost non college educated women 53% to 45%.
Trump lost college educated men 49% to 48%.
Trump won non college educated men 61% to 37%. (MAGA)

"Laws for liberal education of youth, especially of the lower class of people, are so extremely wise and useful, that, to a humane and generous mind,
no expense for this purpose would be thought extravagant.” ~John Adams

"If Virtue & Knowledge are diffused among the People, they will never be enslav'd. This will be their great Security." ~Samuel Adams

"The most effectual means of preventing the perversion of power into tyranny are to illuminate, as far as practicable, the minds of the people at large,
and more especially to give them knowledge of those facts which history exhibits, that possessed thereby of the experience of other ages and countries,
they may be enabled to know ambition under all its shapes, and prompt to exert their natural powers to defeat its purposes." ~Thomas Jefferson

"I love the uneducated!" ~Donald Trump
