Better believe it as the general public never has been too bright to begin with, never was and never will be. What we need is a drastic change from the way things are to the way things should be but I don’t have high hopes as many of the republicans are not a whole lot better. All we can do is to keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best. Should socialists prevail this once Great ship the US will flounder and finish its trip down to the graveyard at the bottom, and join the rest of other nations who have made a similar trip before us.
People and societies in general are not a whole lot different, perhaps some years back we were different, but over time we have squandered what set us apart and we have become more and more like ‘Them’ and in the process killed the goose which laid the golden eggs.
During WWII - and for a few years after - the general public was fairly smart.
Then their kids grew up.
