Bill Maher questioned the intelligence of America. How can the country continue if the citizens are โdumb?โ Maher said. Americans seemed void of common sense.
โNew rule, before we tackle any of our daunting specific problems here in America, we have to figure out how a country can solve any problem if so many of its people are so intractably, astoundingly, mind-numbingly stupid,โ said Maher.
The country might be too stupid to continue, Maher argued.
On a TikTok site called โProject Better,โ average people seemed to not know the answer to everyday questions. For example, the commentator asked, โwho is the first person to land on the sun?โ
โSo, you tell me if a country is only as strong as its people, what can the future possibly hold for a population this moronic?โ said Maher. โBeing a full-grown adult and thinking a human could walk on the sun.โ
The lack of common knowledge in everyday citizens is because the public education system has low standards, said Maher. โThey will let you out of a public high school and give you a diploma, and you donโt have to actually know anything,โ he added.
Maher said political ads play on peopleโs ignorance. He said he is not picking on one ad because they are all alike.
