Comment on How do Americans win their country back?

Yep and the slow gutting of the education system isn’t making it any better.

You have an entire generation coming of voting age who are rabid Trump supporters. They don’t care about policies or democracy or public institutions. They don’t care about healthcare, social securities, or the stability of the economy.

They don’t care about any of the things that have been built up through generations. They lack critical thinking ability.

The recipe works. If you make dumb kids they will vote for dumb people. It works so well that part of the future plan for a trump presidency is to get rid of the department of education. Solidifying the Republican party indefinitely.

Americans aren’t special. They’re just as vulnerable to fascism as anybody else.

The MAGATs might as well be wearing brownshirts and saluting like Mussolini.

Blaming young people is up their with blaming immigrants and “gays” ect for [insert topic]. I would be very surprised if this was the case.

I think it’s a little more nuanced.

  They don’t blame young people. They blame lack of education.

    You sure about that?

    It goes on.
    
    Anecodtally (at this point, this is all these discussions are), I think that Apathy, fear campaigns or outright money and campaigns ect become powerful levers where voting is non-mandatory.
