Weaponized ignorance is a lot more effective when you also provide the ignorance.
The GQP already knows that stupidity is easy to create, too: defund public schools, post armed cops in the halls to foster animosity and encourage fear, and give tax breaks to scared parents to send their kids to worthless religious schools instead. “None of this ‘critical thinking’ shit for my little Johnny, he’s gonna learn that Jesus rode a dinosaur for his sins, just like his daddy.”
