TranscriptA threads post saying "There has never been another nation ever that has existed much beyond 250 years. Not a single one. America's 250th year is 2025. The next 4 years are gonna be pretty interesting considering everything that's already been said." It has a reply saying "My local pub is older than your country".

Holy fuck. I can't tell if they are a troll or not. Reading that is infuriatingly stupid. No wonder America is in the shemozzle it is now, this idiocy and lack of critical thinking is far too common over there!

Pleak times for being a troll. Nobody understands anymore if you are only dumb or provoking.

That's by design. The Republican Party has actively, deliberately suppressed the teaching of Critical Thinking in schools.
