I was born in Pennsylvania; there is no lack of idiots in the world, see the number of 1/6 people from Pennsylvania.

The problem is that the US is a geographically enormous, and isolated, country. It costs a lot of money to travel, so we have millions of people who have never left the cocoon. And because they don’t leave, they don’t see what happens in other countries where they’ve figured out how to have a society through centuries of trial and error. The United States is two hundred years old. The European countries are thousands of years old. They’ve done a lot of troubleshooting.
