The title is hilarious, because the word “literally” is the complement of the word “figuratively”. When you say you “literally crushed that test”, it means you took the paper the test was written on and crumpled it, making it smaller. You “figuratively” crush a test when you do very well on the test. When someone figuratively “eats crow” it means they admit they were wrong. When you literally “eat crow” you are putting the bird in your mouth and swallowing it. The author says Trump voters are “literally” ignorant. But there is no way to be “figuratively” ignorant any more than there is a way for an apple to be “figuratively” red. The word “literally” in this title adds no additional meaning, and hence makes the sentence verbose, it is a flawed sentence. Anyone who writes like this is - you guessed it - IGNORANT.
