In February 2016,
while delivering a victory speech following the Nevada caucuses, Donald
Trump proclaimed his love for the various demographics that led him to
victory.
As part of that list, he exclaimed, "I love the poorly educated."
Why would anyone say such a thing? Poorly educated people often lack critical think skills and thereby make perfect patsies for shysters and con artists ( or the current administration, as is the case today).
I always try to accentuate the positive....it is getting more difficult by the day.
I was thinking of the Statue of Liberty...
What might she have to say about the current state of affairs in America today? We are currently watching the erosion of democracy and a blatant push by the administration towards autocracy. If you can't confirm that on your own, you are not using your critical thinking skills.
Critical thinkers are able to make better strategic and more effective decisions based on the evidence in front of them, not what they’re told by others or assumption they made. It’s never a good thing to simply accept what you’re told as fact. Within all arguments there should be facts and evidence, which can then be used to form your own opinion. Evidence is important to critical thinking.
The Statue of Liberty (SOL)...an American symbol for justice and liberty...I'm thinking she might say..."SOL is right! If we keep going down this path, we will all be "Sh*t Outta Luck".
