NPR tweets out the Declaration of Independence 140 characters at a time...

[Seattle Husker]

For the past 29 years NPR reads the Declaration of Independence on air on the 4th of July. This year they also tweeted it out. The reaction from Trump supporters was funny if it wasn't so sad. Evidently, many are unfamiliar with the language of this key historical document in our history and assumed anti-Authoritarian language targeted at King George III was pointed at Donald Trump.

Here are a few of the responses:

My favorite part is "[King George III] obstructed justice."

"FAKE NEWS!"

In full transparency, there were some liberals that were roped in too. One person fully believed the NPR account had been hacked. Too many conspiracy theorists out there.

I find the average conspiracy theorist, on either the right or the left, to be extremely poorly educated, and to be nearly incapable of critical thinking.

In some cases, I'd argue that they are overly educated albeit from biased sources that merely confirm what they want to believe is true.

Thus, my assertion they lack critical thinking skills. One can have a lot of education and still be poorly educated. See any PhD from aggy or OU.
