  1. The democrats keep black voters on the roll because they appeal to emotion and a lot of black voters vote democratic simply because their family has always voted democrat. How do I know this? I did like the guy in the video suggested and asked a lot of them. I also got the same response from more than a few white folks I know so the family-tie angle cuts in all directions. As for education, I was in the game for a long time so I am well versed in the maxim that it is whole lot easier to lower the test standard than it is to raise the teaching standard. People have this thing with math. If you can quantify something most people will take it as fact. It's where that old line about lies, damn lies, and statistics comes from. How do I know this? I used to run numbers as part of my job. It's like the old bit about the world being flat or round and the teacher responding, how do you want it taught? The problem is, once a lie gets planted and it has time to grow generational roots it's an awful hard weed to it out. There are some people who will never come around. Leftism is a cult and they will drink the Kool-Aid before they surrender their allegiance to it. You see it with these woke companies being willing to crash and burn if it means furthering the message. They are zealots, the vanguard of the great reset, hoping they might get a shot at the priesthood one day. But alas, most of them will discover they are what Lenin termed useful idiots and once the reset is complete and they are no longer needed they will have two options, shut up or die. Gloomy? Maybe, but it is where we are. I don't see the true believers ever believing anything differently so at the end of the day the great reset just may precipitate the great division. I defended this country for the better part of my adult life so I hope that's not where we are headed but as John Adams famously said facts are stubborn things. Ben Franklin said you have a republic if you can keep it. The Boomers said we don't want it and did their best to break it. Now Gen-Z is coming up fast saying, hold my beer. Again, I hope I'm wrong but I fear I am not.
