General education in the US is underfunded on purpose. It’s how the right have won on every issue that counts. Distracted, lazy, frightened and greedy. These are the levers the media pull to get whatever the billionaires want to happen. They tried it with Smedley Butler way back when and learned their lesson. Have the dumbass voter just do what they want with outrage. It doesn’t matter who’s president or who’s in Congress. It matters what’s on the news and who they can pay to put it there. The rest falls into place.
The Democrats also need better spokespersons. They might have better policy, but the infrastructure bill, chips act and lower drug prices will kick in during Trumps reighn.
The fact people can’t differentiate edge cases from the norm is a general education issue. But their pushback was anemic.
