In America, the average citizen is not extremely intelligent, and is overall kept too busy just "keeping the lights on" with life; burdened by stress, taxation, regulation, and a general uncertainty for the future.
Long ago, those that govern society realized that emotions were the most effective method of manipulating these low-intelligence masses, combined with keeping them otherwise occupied. Logic is under attack because it is the only weakness this emotional and distraction based slavery has.

That is so not only in America. The degree of retardation varies, but an average person in any society is pretty dumb.

Yes. The average citizen is of average intelligence.

And about 50% will be below average while about 50% are above, if it's a normal distribution.

The average American citizen is plenty intelligent. The average American citizen is not taught critical thinking. Without that basis it's hard to stick to logic. You can think the marxists who've taken over the industry.

I tried to explain to my idiot libtard friend that even If we had universal health care in some awsome system that was paid for the people in the hoods would still eat to much h drink to much and we would just prolong their misery for a couple of years.
