Can any representative republic survive a progressively ignorant electorate?

No. So if I were a leftist bent on the destruction of this republic, I would do my utmost to raise generations of increasingly stupid children, subjected to irrelevant classes and deprived of their cultural heritage by a lot of lies, revisionism, and propaganda. Then I would commandeer a prostitute media machine and use it to scare the bejeezus out of them on a daily basis. I would lobby for increased government power, fewer guns, and higher taxes ... all in the name of "protection" of course. And within a few generations, I would have a nation of vapid sheep who would willingly go to the slaughter.
