I can't even believe the crap I am reading on this thread. As if one can generalize about the collective intelligence in any given state, LOL! How ridiculous!!! And then dividing it into red/blue!
Come on, folks. Get a reality check. The average IQ in this country 103. That ain't exactly high on the intelligence scale. Only a small percentage of folks end up on either side of the Bell Curve when it comes to intelligence. So most of what you get in ANY CITY, in ANY STATE is Mr and Ms. Average. They may dress differently in various areas of the country . . . and they may have more - or less - access to higher education in different areas . . . but as far as dumb? Dumb is an equal opportunity genetic trait, lol.
With regard to the OP, an answer is not possible until you define "ignorant". If ignorance is defined as having a libertarian lean than both red and blue states are ignorant. If ignorance is believing that either party follows the Constitution, again both red and blue states are guilty.
However, if you think that collectivism as an ideology is enlightened than neither blue or red states are ignorant. If you are just generally speaking in terms of how most define it today. Red states are ignorant if you believe that the intellectual elite are omniscient and know what is best for all people. Blue states are ignorant if you believe that government should not be engineering outcomes produced by freedom. You can see the problem with a question such as this. "Ignorance" is completely arbitrary depending on viewpoint.
If a protest is based on Lies, its simply not valid.
Regardless of what the protest is about.
I have not said otherwise and it'd be really nice if people stopped reading whatever they wanted to read - unless you just like arguing.
What lies would you be speaking of?

I don't "do" bumper stickers. Do I know many what?

Are you even bothering to read the thread you comment on?
I suggest you re-read it.
I pointed out a fine example of hypocrisy.
Read the whole thing, thank you.
You may have pointed out what YOU view as hypocrisy. Nothing more.
Much more ignorance in red states, without a doubt. Much lower levels of educational achievement in red states. A person who is worldly and educated could never hold such Conservative aka anti-intellectual views.

Also, most people who are intellectual and enlightened know that religion is BS, red states are still very religious LOL. How many artists, singers, actors, scientists, intellectuals are Conservatives LOL?
You are too funny for words! You obviously are clueless about blue states and where the majority of the votes for the democratic party stem from. Thanks for the laugh!
You are an intellectually enlightened type? Please...keep talking....

You first and keep in mind that just because you don't like it/agree with it doesn't make it a "lie".
At least one example is contained in this thread.
If you had read the thread as you claimed, you would have seen it.
Or do you have memory loss issues?
Don't think for a second that your "great examples" all over the forum aren't viewed by others who disagree with your VIEWPOINT as ignorant.
But you win because you can prove that those who don't agree with you are....wrong?
And PROVE is the operative word.
