    Bobby Brainworm is living a kick-ass life. He’s Secretary of HHS now!

    I had to laugh when I saw his wife out there defending him. Jesus, this administration even makes watching something as great as Curb hard to do now. Fuck me running. I just try to forget who the actress is in real life when she’s on-screen.

      This is the culmination of YEARS, decades even, of the anti-intellectuals telling each other that their feelings were just as valid as the knowledge of experts.

      “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.’” -Asimov

      We’ve always had a certain segment of dumb, backwards, willfully ignorant Dunning-Kruger types. It’s just that starting with at least the 90s, they could find each other on the 'net and on things like hatriot radio, and most importantly, monetize this craziness.

      At least way back in the day, they had to resort to standing on a corner with a sign or trying to hand out pamphlets or do self-published books, etc…
