Thomas Jefferson (alllegedly...) said "the masses are asses," and the founding fathers set up the electoral college to prevent an uneducated, rural america from electing an unsuitable president. So, we have always been forced to "dumb down" for the general population.
I have no problem with stupid people when they accept it, or try and improve themselves. I hate it when they masquarade behind a working knowledge of the english language and a few tired stereotypes and PRETEND that they know the deal. I'll trust a streetwise, undereducated thinker over an Ivy League legacy poseur any day of the week.
