Donald Trump and his closest allies are planning a radical reshaping of American government. Here are some of the policy stakes if he regains power in 2025.
“37.7% of Americans aged 25 and older had a bachelor’s degree or higher in 2022”
Highschool gives you just enough education to be a good factory worker. That’s what it was designed for, and we can’t expect more than that.
That isn’t to say that the other 62% are stupid. Far from it. And maybe some had the free time and money to get education outside of a university. But at least half of Americans never got past the 101 version of anything.
Highschool in the U.S. is still better than many highschool systems in a lot of countries out there.
Higher education in the country I grew up with was really good. But highschool compared to the U.S.? We were far behind. Yeah, yeah, this is anecdotal.
But you said it yourself, having no formal education doesn’t mean being an idiot.
The world is vast, and a lot of it has subpar education. Compare the U.S. with many countries with better education, sure. But the U.S. is not where it is today because of “inferior education” compared ti the rest of the world. And I’m not even a patriot when I say that. I come from a country that provided me excellent education. And I can recognize that in the U.S., the education overall is decent.
Second of all, it’s becoming tiresome to clarify that no, half of the population is not for Trump. Trump has lost the popular vote twice, one. And two, the voting population does not represent all of the U.S. population. That’s basic statistics and demographics.
I don’t agree with your last sentence.
I wouldn’t say most Americans have substandard education.

First, when it comes to anything outside the US, they definitely have.
Second, at least half the US is uneducated enough to vote Republican.
Sorry, I still disagree with you.
