There's a reason why anti-intellectualism is such a prominent thing in the U.S.
It's hard to fight and it makes people think they're smart for not learning about stuff
Personally, this is why I kind of want to start up a media project about educating people but with a down-to-earth nature so it doesn't seem like they're being insulted
You'll never break a dyed-in-the-wool reactionary type, but I can at least make some positive effort forwards
(I mean, I consider my podcast, Talker, Rexas Wanger to be a positive effort, but it's not exactly educational)
Damn, that's a good name for a podcast.
Thanks
It came to me in a dream
so it's pronounced like an Elmer Fudd version of Ranger, not to rhyme with "hanger"... right?
I mean yeah
Hanger breaks the flow of the gag
