Trump vs. Knowledge

Trump like all would be authoritarian rulers likes his subjects ignorant.  An educated populace is much less controllable.

It is a problematic effect of democracy that the vote of the uninformed is counted equivalent to the vote of the knowledgeable.  Actually due to the inequality of the electoral college, places with lower education levels have more voting power than those with higher education. 

The upcoming Scientists' March should finally highlight that ignorance should not be celebrated.  It has always baffled me how  Democrats run some of the most intelligent candidates and still manage to be beaten by the moronic puppets Republicans run. 

I am not working as a scientist, but I love science.  I'm going to be supporting this march in any way I can.
