IT MUST BE ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE to live the life of a right-winger - scared of everything and enjoying nothing.

This is the story of why America is full of idiots. In the late 1970's and early 80's computers became a thing and you could process lots of statistical data for the first time. And the political parties did... The data showed the GOP they would be demographic-ed out of existence in a couple of decades. It also showed the GOP that stupid badly educated people - amazingly - voted for them. Voted AGAINST their own interests, as blue-collar workers and for the GOP. So the GOP started to breed their own supporters. They systematically defunded education - in 1976 education was 5.7% of GDP. In 1983 it was 3.4% Some of the specific changes they made were to STOP teaching critical thinking skills, skills that ALLOW people to spot a lie. And it was wildly successful. America now has an uneducated subclass of 35% idiots and it is enough to swing elections. In working on my book "How to survive in a collapsing society" I have been researching this for months. Its possibly the evilest social engineering / eugenics in history. They knowingly and deliberately engineered poor people with no future and lied to them for 40 years to stay in power and screw over working and middle-class Americans... And it WORKED - that is the unbelievable part to me - IT WORKED...
