The United States ranks 1th in median income https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_income and 1st in average income. The USA also has the 7th most college educated population per capita. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tertiary_education_attainment . Americans by in large are not uneducated.
The United States is also incredibly diverse- with 40% of its population being of non -European (non-white) descent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States#Race_and_ethnicity . The white American population is not uneducated, ignorant or "stupid" by any means. In fact, European(along with Asian) Americans are perhaps the most educated and affluent people on earth. Hence, why huge chunks of Nobel prizes, math and science Olympiads and inventions come from European and Asian Americans. Black and Hispanic Americans tend to be mostly working class, although their education and income as been studly growing over the decades.
The diverse , well educated and highly industrialized nature of Americans is largely why far-right ideology has failed to materialize. Republicans suffered loses in 2018, 2020, 2021 GA senate run off, 2022 and the 2022 GA senate run off while the far-right grew in mostly all of Europe(besides France and UK), Japan and Turkey over the last decade.
Overall-it is highly disingenuous to call Americans Americans "ignorant," "dumb" or uneducated. The combination of high education levels, economic affluence, and cultural diversity plays a crucial role in shaping the country's societal and political landscape.
