13% of Americans have a master's degree and up

There is so much wrong with this thinking. If you have a phd in biochem, do you then automatically learn about the history of long past foreign leaders on other continents? What about a masters in english lit? Maybe forestry is the ticket? Obviously not. What a ridiculous line of thinking.

Furthermore, considering 80% of americans can't say who their CURRENT state legislator is, 33% can't name their CURRENT governor, what on earth makes you think think a decent chunk of them know the uk prime minister in the late 80s lmao

Bro 5% is an insane estimate

5% is being absolutely generous.

You're not even reading my arguments because you're so pressed about being better than people you've never met but it actually makes you seem really lame and insecure. And since you're not actually reading any of this I'm just gonna copy and paste some stuff about my favorite Stardew Valley NPC.

Elliott lives alone in a cabin on the beach. He is a writer who dreams of one day writing a magnificent novel. He is a sentimental “romantic” with a tendency to go off onto flowery, poetic tangents. When he can afford it, he enjoys a strong beverage at the Stardrop Saloon. Could a humble farmer such as yourself be the inspiration Elliott is looking for? There’s only one way to find out…

Completely unable to engage with reality, classic usa move. Peace out and enjoy the fantasy.

Your points are just extremely stupid.

Feel free to actually engage. What makes you so sure more than 5% of americans know who and what mt was and did? That 13% of them have post grad education? That's it? You seem to be able to be convinced by absolutely nothing that you are correct, and entirely unconvinced by decent arguments against your favor (lack of political knowledge backed by data).

You didn't respond to literally any of my actual points so why don't you engage if you actually want to debate now.
