What this cartoon is saying is that we all accuse other people of being ignorant and uneducated when their views clash with our own, or their politics are different. And that's absolutely true, I do it myself all the time, calling people uneducated and morons because they don't agree with my points of view. In that sense, we're all reactionaries and we all could use some more schooling - on how to get along and not be reactionaries all the time.
That's not really true, in the US the GOP/conservatives are scientifically proven to be less educated, less intelligent, and have less empathy to their fellow man.
Not just the US, throughout the world, the more right-wing and populist a party's stance is, the lower the average level of education their supporter base has.
Need a source on this.

Third one down shows education it's not even close.
I'm with you all the way on this. The proof is in what people do, not just say. And any body of uneducated dolts who believe in patriarchy and taking away human rights and banning books - that's all the proof I need that GOP/conservatives are fascist bullshit-brained pieces of walking excrement. They are indeed.
