What if they elected a leader that was anti-science, and then they continued down that path, continuing to elect anti-science leaders? They could have been way, way, way ahead of us, but after centuries of backwards thinking they are now just way ahead of us.   Then we'd stand chance

Indeed, they could have even bigger problems if that succession of anti-science leaders were all caught paying hush money to porn stars.

Another annoyingly uneducated sci-fi invasion series. Let me break it down for you.
In our galaxy, planets started forming around 13.5 billion years ago. Earth formed around 4.5 billion years ago. Life on Earth formed 3.8 billion years ago just after Earth cooled enough to have a solid surface. There could have been life in the galaxy for 11 billion years before it formed on Earth. That means that any alien intelligence we encounter is likely to be billions of years old. Their technology is as advanced as it is possible to be. They have access to all the resources in the universe. They don't need to invade Earth but if they did, human resistance would be laughable.
