Consider it thoughtfully left empty for your own interpretation, like a color by numbers puzzle. Maybe people who are tested via standardized means and found wanting.

Or maybe it's people who don't really believe in society and government at large, or people who believe in vigilante justice over rule of law. Perhaps people with fixations on self-armament but who never actually use it to fight tyranny when it comes calling. Or people who fixate on wedge issues like restricting access to lifesaving natal operations, or whether the federal or state governments should interfere in who can play in what sports league instead of deferring to the people in charge of the league.

Or maybe not those people. Maybe other people. Who knows! Not I.

The key point was that areas that test poorly for education correlate with low trust of authority.

Kind of seems like a lot of words to say “fascists are dumb”, which is true but also a really funny thing to arrive at from the starting point of “there is a group of people who need to be smarter”

Honestly, I'm not american or a sociologist and it's not my place to comment on these issues in depth, even if I am disgusted by some of the discourse.
