@vickichanmd: These are the people “doing their own research.” And voting for our leaders.

Lowkeycool :

Its republicans. Republicans needed NASA to put that out. They have no clue what reality is.

Kirsten'sCrochet :

stop it. people really thought we would just start floating???

Dorothy Zbornak Reincarnated :

When the dumbest people you went to high school with are now in charge ☠️

Torpepe :

Just Me :

I don’t think that people quite understood “the gravity of the situation”.

roroallround :

America must be an exhausting place to live

DustinN7 :

I mean there’s an entire population of people that have thought the rapture was going to happen like 19 times since I’ve been alive so yunno some people will genuinely believe in almost anything.

Julia :

Do they think this is the first eclipse ever?

JT BONES :

I thought that 77 million people voting for a person with 34 felonies was a sign that our educational system is broken.

TheLadyInPurpleRain :

As an former science teacher I could only “lead the horses to the water, I couldn’t make them drink it”. So blame it on their ignorance and apathy by simply not caring about education

Boardem Games 📚 :

I can't wait until we got off of this anti intellectualism timeline. 😳😳😳

Anton :

What's even sadder is the number of people who thought that

Holly! 🇨🇳🇺🇸 :

As someone in middle school.. why am I more educated than real life adults?? 💔💔

RedandBoujee :

Intentionally underfunding public education so that the masses are easily manipulated and will believe anything but science has been sadly effective.

Zippy :

I saw an American post yesterday that he was in Australia and didn’t realise other countries have their own flag. I honestly couldn’t figure out if it was satire or genuine confusion.

Lisa Hockings :

I sincerely believe the human race is devolving.

BigSpoon187 :

They're replying to the same people who voted for Trump, twice

coreybarrett27 :

The fact that people believed it tells you exactly how we ended up with Trump in office

Susan Chatzky :

Oh sweet Jesus.

domi.nikko :

What people thought would happen

Bluevoter9997 :

Jane Doe 🇦🇺🇨🇦 :

This, flat earth, the rapture - America has gifted the world so much

toxicraven :

I’m not sure how much this statistic has changed recently but in 2017 7% of Americans thought chocolate milk came from brown cows so this doesn’t surprise me

reesekukoleck7 :

It's sad to see humans are going backwards instead of evolving

sunnyskies :

And let's not forget that probably 90% who read that NASA assurance will not believe NASA.
