America seems to be regressing to a pre-adolescent level of understanding basic concepts of health and hygiene. Hand-washing, butt-wiping, vaccination against preventable diseases…why do these suddenly seem like foreign concepts nowadays?
This is what happenes when a political party spends 40 years attacking science, public health, education and anything related to the government while cloaking it all under a populist, anti-elitism mantle.
It has been shockingly effective (for the latest iteration, see Huckabees God, Guns and Gravy…)
