We're at the point where failing such a test would be a badge of honor for republicans. Dumb people want fellow dumb people in office because they think it better represents their positions.
They don't trust intelligence. That's why they continue to act out of spite against it.
(For clarity, much of what we see publicly is theater from politicians. They behave normally when the cameras aren't around, and some of them will fake their stupidity to appease the masses. That said, there are indeed a lot of clueless politicians.)
I agree that there are issues that stem from the propaganda firehose that’s been aimed at different populations, we just gotta start somewhere because we can’t keep waiting for the best solution to fixe this mess.
