I might be underestimating the intelligence of people, but I don't think so. Here are some sobering statistics: - 54% of the GOP electorate think President Obama is a Muslim [1] - 29% of the GOP electorate grant that President Obama was born in the United States [1] - 47% of conservatives now say the climate is changing (not that necessarily that climate change is man-made) [2] - 49% of Republicans said they do not believe in evolution [3] [1] and [3] are from publicpolicypolling, which is a democratic polling agency, so take them with a grain of salt. Now you tell me if the average Joe is good at separating the wheat from the chaff. To me it seems fully half of the conservatives/Republicans are unable to do it for scientific truths. You say that people are calling out the fallacies in your twitter feed. That gives me hope. But are the people who have been advancing the fallacious arguments changing their mind based on the evidence?
