“And the other 38% are the low-information voters.”

From my observations, I see that about 40% of the American public think they would be happy with a Marxist society.
This is becoming exacerbated by the leftist media and rapid growth of blacks and poor immigrants as a percentage of the population.
American media and public education are doing their best to convert the country into being the USSA. They represent the largest dangers to the country that I grew up in.
I was listening to Michael Medved show a couple of days ago and he was soliciting calls to see what his callers wanted Obama to say in the SOTU address...
He had a caller that wanted Obama to erase everybodies bad credit rating and give them a automatic credit rating of 700...
It was sort of depressing that a seemingly normal person articulate that position, could be that ignorant to think Obama could do such a thing in the first place and that it was a good idea...
Someone like that would easily embrace Marxism...
Absolutely correct. There are so many lazy, self-entitled, dishonest, overfed and underworked people, with their hands out, unable and/or unwilling to take responsibility for themselves, their lives and their families. They NEED Uncle Sugar, and Uncle Sugar gives it to them, in exchange for their vote.
This trend is also exacerbated by the abysmal state of civics education, in addition to the media, as you stated.
And this situation is not going to improve until there is a near total societal collapse and WWIII.
