To get elected, you need to have views that don't offend the voters or the donors. A good way to do that is never to think, but just say what voters want to hear and do what donor want done.
Also, a college degree, an elite university degree, or a graduate degree don't mean what they once did. Earlier, they might have had little to do with real world politics, but they meant that you at least knew something. Now it seems like degrees just mean that you can parrot the fashionable opinions of the day.

Because even stupider people believe them.
God Bless Thomas Sowell. I have been playing his audio books in my shop and sometimes I just have to stop what I am doing and replay a section 5 or 10 times to absorb his brilliance. One of my favorites is an interview where their host asks about Obamacare.
Q”Well what do you replace it (obamacare) with”
TS: “That’s like asking a doctor what do you replace cancer with after it has been removed from your body.”
BAM.

When stupid people vote and send their offspring to stupid-enhancement schools, the outcome is a civilization of stupid & servile serfs...

I don’t think they’re stupid. They’re evil.
To: Fiji Hill
Don’t confuse Stupid with ethically corrupt, morally bankrupt and just plain EVIL with nothing but contempt in their hearts for their fellow man.

"Because we have too many stupid voters!!!"
Because stupid people are easily controlled by very smart evil people who need a front to hide behind.

We have stupid people running things because smart people have created enough money out of thin air to buy their dumbass lackkeys butts into the seats of power.

And here’s a really ironic aspect of that fact: a countless number of those stupid voters, perhaps the majority, are college graduates!
