    99% of the voters wouldn’t know science if it bit them on the butt

      Sounds like a wildly unscientific statement, considering e.g ~10% of the US population works in STEM.

        That doesn’t seem to make much of a difference, strangely enough.

      You make a good case for your own argument.

          I mean, trying to prove your own theory by being the perfect case study seems a little extreme…
