it is. far far too many people vote on feelings, or for what they think might be good for them personally even if bad for the country, and lots of people are just stupid and ignorant.

Yes, the MSM after the 'Rats "win" is ranting on and on about women, single women in particular. As I've commented before, too many of them choose their candidate as if they are contestants on "The Dating Game."
With respect to "stupid and ignorant," yes, that's a very good point. Go back to the 1990s and Murray and Herrnstein's best selling book, "The Bell Curve." The left derided it as "racist," but the major theme of it, still true now, was that the average IQ of the American population was in decline, because intelligence is largely hereditary and lower IQ people were having more children than upper IQ people. Lower IQ was also associated with a greater probability of a wide variety of social pathologies for society as a whole. Surely you need a reasonable intelligence level in the general population to maintain a free republic. Then, too, environment influences intelligence (though to a lesser extent than heredity) and there, the quality of formal education in the schools is inferior to what it was for previous generations of Americans.
Disclaimer: None of the above refers to the FR women here, who are obviously a highly intelligent bunch.
