The ratio of literacy to illiteracy is constant, but nowadays the illiterates can read and write.

I've been pointing out for nearly a DECADE now that #ToddlerTrump is an #illiterate child that needs his briefings boiled down to videos of our military "blowing things up" in order to get him to pay attention.
But, that's ALL that he pays attention to, so it's no wonder he has no idea what's going on.

Truly at a loss for words here. This is funny in the most sad way possible. The ignorance on display is staggering. And she keeps finding new ways to be loudly and proudly wrong in the comments.
This is going to be an Internet Hall of Famer.

The UN or the G7 or some such organization should hold a big conference with the heads of state of as many countries as possible attending.
Invite Dipshit Donnie, too.
But when he gets there, he finds it's just all the other heads of state sitting around telling stories about just how stupid/naive/credulous/ignorant/crass/illiterate/somnolent/flatulent/etc Donnie is. Broadcast live. Keep one camera on Donnie full-time so he doesn't just stalk out.
He'll have an #aneurysm, OR he'll hide in shame for the rest of his miserable life. Either works for me.

I don’t judge if a person can read or not. But I do think it should be a strong suit in every President that sits in the Oval Office.
Using cartoons to explain world affairs and how nukes are launched to a President just doesn’t leave anybody feeling confident or reassured.

With the constant whitewashing of #bribes to the US #president as "Oh, but it's going to his future presidential library", would it be #unkind to suggest that such a library would either have to have entirely empty shelves, or be full of nothing but pornographic magazines, picture books, and magazine covers featuring a certain orange menace?
He's #aliterate. A "library" is a category error for the man, as are "facts" and "information".

Estimated historical #LiteracyRates, 1451 to 1701
I was looking for data on global historical literacy rates and this is something I found. Needless to say, the estimates are prone to large uncertainties but it is sobering to see that that before the 16th century, over 80% or populations were #illiterate. This would have meant that they were condemned to #poverty and prone to manipulation and subjugation by those in power, including religious organizations.

#Republicans are a #CULT, not a political party.
The ENTIRE #GOP is a goddamned fucking JOKE.
Look at the #Cabinet, each one of these sick #freaks approved by #Republican Senators.
Every single one of these #trump Cabinet members is #incompetent, an #abuser, #traitorous, #illiterate, #lying, #fraudulent or just plain cold stone #fucknuts, or all above.
Approved by the Cult.
It's fucking SICK.
America has a fatal disease. It's called Republicans.Show me ONE Cabinet member that's qualified.

After spending the better part of the past 2 yrs grading #AI-generated papers, Troy Jollimore, a poet, philosopher, & Cal State Chico #ethics professor, has concerns. “Massive numbers of #students are going to emerge from #university w/degrees, & into the workforce, who are essentially #illiterate,” he said. “Both in the literal sense & in the sense of being historically illiterate & having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”

People seem to think "you write too much lol" as a gotcha, when you're listing many angles and many different problems.
Choose one problem and tell me why I'm wrong. Then you can ignore the rest.
But going "tl;dr lol loser" is a sign that you're either #illiterate or just #trolling.

Mr. #Trump is greatly misinformed about #Canadians wanting Canada to be the #USA's 51st state. Well, he's greatly misinformed about most things, but this is recent.
Mr. Trump, please find a good book on each of the following points, and get one of your #toadies to read it to you:
1) None of Canada's 10 #provinces and 3 #territories is named The #Sudetenland.
2) The last time a #US #president decided he'd like to take over #Canada, we marched to #Washington and burned it to the ground. You might have heard a song we wrote about it.
3) We're the reason the White House is white. It didn't start out that way.
Jingoism, bluster, lies, delusions, and dementia isn't a great combination of characteristics for a U.S. president. Why'd you Americans decide to add "convicted felon" and "sex abuser" to that list?

The U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reports that 54% of adult Americans cannot read above a sixth-grade level. There's similar numbers even for Canada. Approximately 26% of US adults are functionally illiterate, meaning they cannot read and comprehend relatively short texts or understand basic vocabulary. #reading is #knowledge and #power #illiterate

Friday night in Austin, TX, the Republican presidential nominee, Donald #Trump, fiercely criticized #TheAtlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, over a recent report about Trump’s troubling attitude toward the #military, which he believes should be loyal to him personally. As Goldberg reports, Trump said, “I need the kind of generals that #Hitler had,” which is both chilling & historically #illiterate.

#ICYMI, Pete Davidson of #SNL fame tells radio host #Opie (oops! Correction. I heard this on the radio today, but he said it EIGHT YEARS AGO in 2015) that "Donald T**** can't read."
This bolsters my Jan 2019 Op/Ed pointing to evidence that T**** is actually "functionally #illiterate." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR7cQAjZsJI

@alexj a few years back there was a whole thing about how #genz thought ending a sentence with a period was rude or meant someone was mad.
i’m starting to think they’re just #illiterate. dot dot dot

This is a great reference link. Thanks.
Sadly, I think the #Maga #Fascist and #TheoFascists currently threatening #CivilSociety and #democracy are simply too #Illiterate and/or lazy to read this material.
It has been widely reported the #MangoMussolini speaks at the language comprehension level of a 4th grader. This is the level of #comprehension of 90% of the #RadicalRight.
