How do I keep running into idiots who are positive they are intelligent?

Does the South no longer require history in schools, or do they just teach "alternative facts?" The Nazis were not really socialists. Only someone with no education would believe that. This site is getting extremely frustrating to be on. How do you converse with someone who is completely ignorant, but is positive they are right? When did we decide that education was bad and that ignorance was cool?

We've been fighting that war for a very long time, and based on the way the vote came down, I don't think its just a Southern problem. We now have a President who's campaign strategy and even some of his governing policies seem like they came straight out of 1930s Germany. I don't believe that he's a racist, any more than I think National Socialists were Socialists, but that's not really what bothers me about it.

I have to agree with you on this. Unfortunately, idiots are not confined to the South.

@Jackjjacksonjr: You are sad that there are idiots in the North? Me too... I hope you have a lovely Valentine's Day as well.

@Jackjjacksonjr: I've got issues with her as well, but the fact that these two were the only real choices on the ballot is a bigger issue, IMO.

THAT'S the true sadness of it.

@Laifu1: I'm sad when people anywhere aren't doing well or are unhappy.
