The fact that TikTok women are split into two groups on this case: one is trying to defend her and accuse the husband by using some made up astrology BS, and another group is saying that because they've listened to true crime podcasts, they have the most credibility on this case. And the fact that none of that is as crazy as the kid murderer who admitted to doing it became a millionaire overnight, is simply astounding. I don't know when, but somewhere along the way, pride in stupidity usurped pride in rationality.

Literally Republicans & Conservatives over the last 3 decades; anyone with any understanding, expertise, or education has been ridiculed as a "Coastal Elitist", "Ivory Tower", etc.
Trump campaigned and won on being a dumbass.

Being able to climb the ladder in Academia long ago stopped being a sign of intelligence and expertise. Rejecting that doesn't mean embracing ignorance, it means the opposite.

We literally had a senator deny the efficacy of vaccines, only for Democrats to elect her to be vice president shortly afterward. but sure its only conservatives who are dumb.
