Profiles in Ignorance: How Americas Politicians Got Dumb and Dumber is a satirical nonfiction study of anti-intellectualism in modern United States politics. Andy Borowitz, widely known for The Borowitz Report and for his comic political commentary, uses humor as a vehicle for historical argument rather than as mere entertainment. The book traces a public decline in expectations for political knowledge from the rise of television-era campaigning through figures such as Ronald Reagan, Dan Quayle, George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, and Donald Trump. Its central concern is not that individual politicians occasionally make mistakes, but that ignorance has increasingly become electorally useful when combined with charisma, grievance, media skill, and partisan loyalty. Borowitz presents the trend as both absurd and consequential: voters laugh at gaffes, news organizations amplify spectacle, and public office becomes more hospitable to performance than informed judgment. The result is a comic but pointed critique of how political culture lowered its standards.
