These people are the least politically educated people in the world.
It continually baffles me that americans can be this politically uneducated. There are people in the UK who know nothing about politics at all and have never ever had anyone sit down and teach them any theory but they will be able to tell you that there's a working class and a ruling class and who is in each of them with mostly accuracy until you get into petty-bourgeoise elements.
A 2020 Gallup poll found that 46% of American adults read below a 6th grade (11 or 12 year old) level. Many surveys have found slightly better but still worrisome reading levels in the adult population. This is not a matter of Americans being able to read what is on a page, but rather that they do not know how to take in and process information.
Any political analysis that does not start with this fact is fundamentally flawed.
