Giridharadas: ‘People Who Can Read and Understand that Climate Change Is Happening Are Not Favorable Voters’ for Republicans

‘They are revealing something to citizens, which is they don’t want the most educated citizenry possible’

EXCERPT:

GIRIDHARADAS: “They are revealing something to citizens, which is they don't want the most educated citizenry possible, because it's not helpful to them. People who can read and understand that climate change is happening are not favorable voters for them. People who can read and understand what they're doing to Medicaid, to Social Security, what Elon Musk is doing, the better your reading comprehension is, the more you might not like what this administration is doing. So an educated citizenry is not in their interest, and they're coming for it."
