I thought he would win as well. The American people are just that ignorant. It would have taught the informed among us a good lesson: most Americans do not understand the basic worldviews and how they contrast and what they really mean. I wanted Bernie as our opponent even though I knew we might lose. It would have been an election between two honest men with DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSING world views. It would have been an honest philosophical debate. I didn’t think a criminal like Hillary deserved to be even mopping the floors and taking out the trash after the presidential debate of 2016.
An election between capitalist patriot Trump even coming down to the wire with opponent communist Bernie Sanders is HUGE. And it would have been close. People do NOT understand economics or liberty. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. It isn’t getting better. If you don’t know history you are doomed to repeat it. To stop totalitarianism you need to know what causes it. Masses of ignorant people with “good intentions” cause it.
It is a problem that can't be solved. It inheres in the public schools which are so totally in the control of the left that no reforming of the system or the Teachers' colleges can affect it for a couple of decades. The only effective step would be to simply close all the public schools by fiat or at least remove all government funding from all schools from K through post grad. That, of course, would wipe out many districts but would return schools to the locals, who, unfortunately, were raised in the same schools and do not have any concept of history or civics or economics themselves.
