But not for the reasons stated.

Rather because the voters are totally uneducated in history, the value of the Constitution, street economics (in contrast to the economics taught by ivory tower college professors) and totally lacking morality and self motivation.

For they are the people who put idiots and scoundrels in congress to run the country.

Human nature what it is, we have always had scoundrels, con men and just plain crooks but our generation has actually put them in total control.

Now we have a president who is trying to get control back into the hands of decent knowledgeable people and the criminals are fighting back.

I've been a substitute teacher in elementary and high schools. There was no education in civics (how government works). History was limited to Sacagawea (feminism), Martin Luther King and the like. Young people are exposed to much television.

I also worked many temporary contracts in corporate offices including communications. Those places were steeped in policies imposed by the radical left, and so was their hiring.

That sums up education now. It's bought and paid for by advertisers, investors on boards and those who decide on what goes into curricula (wealthy alumni, regents, graduates who write texts,...). Those are the people controlling what is most easily and constantly available to the minds of the American people.

We need a complete flush and refill of academic, business and government leadership, except for the few who are now finally working for us in government, thank goodness.
