Oh believe me. I agree with you there too.
It gets hard to combat the amount of sheer stupidity of this administration on a daily basis.
It makes me angry and disappointed, as someone who will have spent close to a decade in schooling by the time I'm actually in the workforce, the championing of anti-intellectualism and disregard for critical thinking by Trump and his allies. We need those things to be a strong, functioning society, and they're actively hostile to both.
Maybe it's me being to insular and being unable to divorce myself from my political leanings, but that is one of the major problems I have with the Republican party at the moment. Seems to be a lot worse with them than others right now.
Regardless, I'm glad there are those such as yourself, who count themselves as conservatives willing to not simply fall in line behind Trump.
