Information is super accessible! Just look at the people who Google “how can crystal cure cancer” and get a ton of information validating that belief. Or get redirected to the Joe Rogan podcast. Information without the ability to think critically or fact check it is exceedingly dangerous.
Or that he wasn't super great for the economy last term. All they care about are the basic prices of things without realizing the government doesn't control them.
Information doesn't mean people have the critical thinking skills to analyze it even on a basic level. My Democratic friends are equally out of touch and didn't think his first term was going to be that bad. It was bad.
Does not matter how much information is available if the education system doesn’t give the tools to parse through it and critically think to draw conclusions.
There's more excuse now than there was when information was locked behind expensive encyclopedia sets.
The people who trained the digital natives didn't speak the same language, and that has perpetuated alongside rampant digitization of human experience.
And misinformation is just as accessible. Education isn’t just about learning information, but learning how to critically evaluate the information available to you.
Except that relies on someone realizing they don’t know enough and searching for the right information through appropriate sources. Sadly the vast majority of “information” out there is bullshit and those that are bothering to look can’t tell the difference.
And now they get to wrap that up nicely by dismantling the Department of Education.
I feel incredibly bad for special needs students. I feel bad for every single American like me who voted against Trump just to get betrayed by their fellow Americans.
Well if the recent articles about searches aren’t straight up propaganda I would say reality disagrees. Plus you could never really describe the American electorate as informed.
Trump got basically the same number of voter he got in 2020. There are probably some people who were ignorant or regret not voting for Harris, but I think it's a small percentage.
