  2. I can explain it to you: The GOP defunded education for 40 years for a reason. And it worked..! 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. ---!--- It was wildly successful. Add to that the fact the Democrats totally sold out the working people of America and you get TRUMP. The Dems think they vote for Trump BECAUSE they are stupid, actually, they vote for Trump because the Dems totally sold them out, they cant tell Trump is a con artist because they are stupid. To them, voting for Trump is a logical thing to do. He promises to make their lives better and the Dems ignore them and pander to the elites and the corporations. Its not a stupid thing to do to vote to make your life better - its a stupid thing to believe that Trump WILL make your life better. This is why his popularity is inversely proportional to education level.
