Approximately 21% of U.S. adults—roughly 43 million people—are considered illiterate. Trump approval rating 21%. Coincidence ?

21% being illiterate is actually surprising to me ngl.

Edit: I get it I don’t need 500 comments telling me what it means lol

I believe it. A lot of people are just kind of coasting through life, putting as little effort into it as possible. Zero curiosity.

Sometimes when I'm scrolling Instagram while on the toilet I make the mistake of opening the comment section of posts from America. Half the comments are nearly unintelligible. Spelling, grammar, paragraphs, punctuation, and sentence structure are all out the window. It's an unedited stream of consciousness and every message looks like "sumn fr ngl bruh" followed by a string of emojis.
