> We can’t even have a nuanced conversation about anything in politics that doesn’t devolve into an ideological/tribal argument. I think the US is already dominated by idiots in every state.

Gotta appreciate the irony of this statement. The Idiot Tribe are victims of The System, not driving it. They are not my enemy.

Agreed. If we're using education and related achievements as a barometer for "not idiots", the American ruling class are hardly uneducated dimwits. Those at the highest rungs of power in politics, academia and the mass media are almost without exception highly educated graduates of top institutes. If they fail, that's clearly on them, and not the "idiot tribe".

Sorry, have you seen the educational record of the guy at the top right now?

Have you seen the university pool of your congress? Hell, even Bush was a Yale and harvard grad.

They are all victims. Nonetheless, the unfortunate reality is that the state persists precisely because this idiocy broadly holds.
