I discuss this with family and friends a lot. The problem with this argument is the context. Imagine a competition between the academics and the football team of a University. If the competition is intellectual most likely academics will win but if they play football or I don't know, run or lift weights then athletes will win. These fascists are changing the game we're playing. It doesn't matter how smart you are. It didn't matter in Hungary, Russia, Turkey or many other countries. I moved to the US 8 and became a citizen 3 years ago. I've been trying to help fellow Americans see beyond this exceptionalism. If we don't acknowledge the threat and our weaknesses we'll lose just like them.
