While I agree education and critical thinking is a major issue here, I think the problem is deeper. Trump could not have won with only the"dumbed down masses". The differences of opinion and values are so extreme, that it seems like the other side would have to be ignorant. However, I belive both sides have the same sentiment.

I happen to belive Trump duped the electorate and is dangerous. However, I know his supporters feel basically the same way about Clinton. This is the impass, we have to find a way to move forward together or we'll all be dragged backwards.
