why are people so proud of ignorance?

When the president is an ignoramus, I guess it trickles down from there.

I'm sort-of kidding, but: we have a president who basically hates learning and thinking. He relies on instincts (like reptiles), that's why his supporters love him. Any data that runs contrary to his is discredited, much like your co-worker. He's a Bush-style thinker, he doesn't really think.

yeah this guy was the same one who had this convo with me:

and the jews killed jesus!!!

yeah cause jews just went around nailing people to crosses.

well then who?

the romans.

EXACTLY, ROMAN JEWS!!!

He was completely serious and to this day when I bring it up in a comedic fashion he will not laugh and he completely believes that it was roman jews who nailed jesus to the cross.
