Here is a cut and paste from a previous post I wrote on this thread that I think completes the 'reasons why Americans are ignorant of the facts in this election':
Our public education system is nothing more than an indoctrination facility anymore -- teaching children what to think rather than how to think.
I am a teacher, and I have discovered over the last twenty years or so that, unless they are provided a road map detailing how to get from Point A to Point B, American children are no longer able to navigate any intellectual pathway.
That state of affairs came about purposefully. The left needs to keep the masses in a condition where they need to be led around by the nose in order to move from day to day.
Critical thinking, and the ability to analyze a situation, widespread among the people, are majors roadblocks to the imposition of socialist rule. So filling children's heads with politically-correct 'facts', rather than teaching them to think on their own, is a distinct goal of the current public education system. And they're well of their way to achieving that goal.

Agreed.
I emphasize relentlessly that one can find the right answers sooner or later . . .
IF ONE KNOWS HOW TO ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS.
And I REQUIRE QUESTIONS of my students every session.
The corrupt, communistic Democrat Party already has it’s united, mindless media in place (a la Soviet Union style). So, all the Democrat Party has to do now is have the MSM ruled sheeple vote it into total control with 100% socialism/communism ruling and reigning over the sheeple.
However, with socialism/communism eventually totally ruining the economy - what then? An enraged “Forty-Million Man March” storming Washington en masse and taking matters into their own hands? A small crowd can be controlled, but what may finally result from the absolute contempt and cynicism shown by the “ruling class” may not be all that easy to control. People are enraged by this Democrat debacle that started with Democrat Presidents Carter and Clinton attempting to accomplish “reparations” by forcing banks to make bad loans or risk prosecution (by Janet Reno), and I hate to contemplate what could happen if it ever gets so bad for the common man that soup lines begin to form. I’m afraid a lot of that sort of thing won’t be tolerated by people who are spoiled to having everything easy. - At times I think maybe a good dose of reality as the Democrats are capable of delivering might once and for all be good for the liberal masses. (It hasn’t taken Nancy Pelosi and her crew to do a lot of damage.) This time, though, unlike Clinton, the Democrats (and Obama) won’t be riding the high tide of Reagan-generated prosperity.
