The education system in the US is screwed beyond oblivion, that’s why this is happening.

And it’s not just the US. I live in the Balkans and things are… well, very bad to be honest. We have the lowed average IQ in Europe.

The problem is, stupid people benefit both sides, left and right. They’re easy to control, as voters. No one wants voters which can think critically.

Democracy is flawed IMO. There is no fixing this. People do rule, but at what cost. There are alternatives, but, let’s face it, none of that will be implemented, at least not in our lifetimes.
