Of course the number is low. Even though most Americans have been lied to and think we are heading toward a more conservative society the exact opposite is true.
Even their skulls full of mush realize, intrinsically that, a move toward socialism is hurting our society not helping.
We, on this forum, study this all the time. But, the average American has been brainwashed by the MSM and our marxist-based education system.
I suspect neither you nor I is in the “going in the right direction” group.
Yet the media portays all those who think we are headed in the wrong direction as in favor of moving towards socialism, not away from it.
Here's the problem, people trade being smart, over being wise. Wisdom always cares about truth. If you don't follow the basic tennents of truth, as the inventors of the "Idea Of America" understood, you will enventually fail society.
What we are witnessing is a totally reversal of what is right and good and trading it for selfishness. Socialist have won the day because people are selfish and are being taught that matters more than what is good for society.
This is the whole problem with America right now, and it will get MUCH worse!
