When Trump says he loves the uneducated, this is what he means. GOP have gutted ed spending and support specifically for the purpose of stymying learning and crippling critical discourse.

  More than half of American adults read below a sixth-grade level, a record high number that experts call a “silent crisis” affecting the economy, health care and communities nationwide. About 54 percent of Americans ages 16 to 74 read at or below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level – around the age 11 or 12 – according to data cited by the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy. That amounts to around 130 million people. Wow, I thought #tRump was the only one. https://www.the-independent.com/life-style/american-adult-reading-literacy-rates-b3058243.html
