Anti-intellectualism is going to have a massive impact on the country in the long run. A large group of people no longer feel that public schools, scientists and experts are good enough and that they can “do and know better.” They cannot, and their idiot children will think exactly like they do. In 20-30 years there will be just as many idiots, if not more so.
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” ― Isaac Asimov
