Of course, if the Republican party just focused on educating the public on principles of personal property and personal liberty and personal responsibility, then maybe some voters would get a clue. But I won't hold my breath.
One thing I have learned is that no one ever wakes up in the morning and says "I am an Idiot!". When unemployment hits 30-40% they will start rioting looking for all the evil Republicans who put them in their predicament. They will never admit it was the like-minded losers they voted for.
What does the Republican Party do to educate the public about their basic principles. Nothing that I’m aware of.
The Democrat party spends BILLIONS on selling their point of view. They do it through a mechanism called Government Schools.
