America isn't stupid, because they have the best military assets in the world. If you want to show the population has gotten more stupid, you need to show peer-reviewed papers, not anecdotes.

This is such bullshit. Do I need peer-reviewed papers to show that water is wet? It is completely obvious to any reasonable person that Americans have become stupid.

The irony is that the stupider a group of people becomes, the harder and harder it becomes for them to recognize that fact.

They instead "trust the experts" because they no longer trust in their ability to think for themselves.
