My wife and I were talking this morning about this. How can several of her smart department head co-workers vote for Socialism?
Short answer, all of their information comes from the old media or Huffington Post left blogs. They are in the Matrix just like the movie.
They have no idea of how economics really works and they have no clue about the facts of the world reality. They have been brought up by
socialist school teachers, brainwashed by socialist professors, and kept ignorant by modern society music, movies and popular culture.
They listen to PBS radio and watch ABC and CNN for news. They think Conservatives are a bunch of old white Dixie, racist, homophobic,
sexist Neanderthal males, neo-Confederate tea partiers, smokestack polluters, homophobic evangelicals, and xenophobic anti-immigrants.
