Umm, I've been to Los Angeles and New York and D.C and Chicago.

Percentage wise, theres roughly the same amount of critical thinkers there as in Bumblefuck Oklahoma.

No offense but you really dont know shit about America. You just think you do.

Yes, plenty of dumb people live everywhere. No one disputes this. But scatter them out in cornfields where their dumbness is never diluted by the overwhelming number of literate people, the dumbness suddenly has influence and real power. I'm sure there are plenty of rednecks all around states like NY and IL (and there certainly are), but we as a country don't have to worry about their bronze aged bullshit because they are drowned out by smarter, better people.

Now, what to do about Texas...
:D

Exactly. I wasn't disputing that either. In fact New York has more political idiots than Oklahoma, numbers wise. But ratio wise, you will have better luck being near a large city most other states than Oklahoma if you want more politically advanced and critical thinking capable people. Part of it is the religion thing. I mean how far can you evolve with critical thinking when you belong to a wackadoo church. The bible belt is backwards because of this. This is not disputable.

lol you're such an ignorant person - that South Park smug episode spells you out entirely.

You clearly don't even know who lives in the bible belt - but keep digging your grave further lol.

Religious zealouts, and Evangelicals are up there, are by definition not very capable of critical thinking. It's don't care what religion. But hey, throw your lot in with a group of bigoted dbags who think that armageddon is coming any day now so they can excuse any immoral political position they take because of that, and Trump is gonna help them get to that promised land.

I don't get this one, maybe because I have no idea who she is. Even if she is known in some circles I doubt she is that widely know to get that much reaction anything she says. This one probably gets more play because it includes Elon Musk.
She was a Dem candidate for president who is a self-help guru and a spiritualist nut bag known for saying some rather crazy things... which makes it funny.
