re your comment on predicting Trump, there is HL Mencken&R=9;s famous phrase:

"It is IMPOSSIBLE to underestim=te the intelligence of the American people."

and then from Richard Hofstadter's=1964 book on Ant-intellectualism in American Life:

"There is a cult of ignorance=in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intell=ctualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political =nd cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that m= ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
