Why are 50% of Americans dumb?

[2nd Amendment]

I am perplexed why 50% or more Americans are clinically retarded. From voting for Obama to Biden to the current resident moron Kamala Harris. Some has postulated our Dewey influenced educational system. Some have said the removal of prayer and morality in our schools. Some have said the role of the media after the opinionated Vietnam era. I believe there was a time with candidates and presidents like Adlai Stevenson, Harry S Truman and JFK where democratic policies were sane and patriotic. What say you about why the party has devolved to a party of demonic stupidity and America hating?

I believe it was, in large part, the old Media and their Deep State allies trading long term credibility for short term political gains.

They had been doing that, in spades, since 1994. After the Republican revolution in 1994, I believe the Progressive Media stopped deluding themselves that they were impartial and reporting facts. I believe at that point, they understood they had to lie in order to save their Progressive, Deep State power structure.
