Yes, the American population collectively is getting dumber with the passage of time. Just look at the trajectory of SAT scores over the last 50 years. SAT test takers now "graduate" into the general voting public after years of politically correct "education" where the basic facts and patterns of American history and government are de-emphasized in favor of feel good mythology. And if that isn't enough, the average intelligence of the American voter is declining (of course, we can't really verify it because routine IQ tests are pretty much of a taboo) largely because the higher intelligence parents tend to have fewer children than their lower intelligence cohorts.
Then, too, modern day immigrants tend be less intelligent than newcomers of previous generations because they are attracted to the country less by economic opportunity than government goodies. That's another factor driving average intelligence of the American population in a downward direction. We are dumber on average as a society now than at the time Mencken and Barnum made their now-famous quotes.
Despite the fact that all of these factors and those discussed in the posted article are true, the 'Rats still would not have had the success to the degree that they had in this election had they not engaged in massive fraud and cheating in a wide variety of aspects of the election process, most notably in strategically selected counties and districts in the swing states. It's not surprising that such a massive loss of integrity in the electoral process is facilitated by a dumbed-down electorate which in too many cases was never taught the fundamental importance of that integrity to the functioning of a free republican government and society.
Indeed.
Especially about the fraud and cheating.
Yesterday, I spoke with a Republican Poll Watcher. He told me that in Coral Springs(Broward), the dims had brought in lines of buses filled with “Holder’s people”. The buses filled the parking lot and the crowds were given free pizza and drinks as they waited in line. Each person had a blue card with a graphic of the ballot with all the democrats filled in. The graphic looked as though it had been designed for illiterates. They had to call the cops several times to oust the pizza trucks and attempt to stop the blatant electioneering.
But even so, he blamed the results on low republican turnout. When I suggested that republican votes may have been suppressed due to massive nationwide fraud, he said:
“I can’t wrap my mind around that. The consequences are just too horrible to contemplate.”
He’s right, you know, it IS horrible to have lost faith in the System that made America great.
Another acquaintance is moving back to Israel and starting over. This is the third Israeli Immigrant family that I know who has done this, in my TINY circle of friends.
I asked him if Israel would have any use for me...an Irish-Inuit-MiQ’Maw-Christian. He seemed to think I would fit right in.

No, the worst mistake was assuming that the Dems and MSM weren’t crooked as Al Capone.
Thanks justiceseeker93. Ignoring for the moment the probable ballot fraud by the Demwits — because that’s not a new phenomenon — Zero had a nearly-unanimous, highly motivated turnout by his coreligionists (his fellow muzzies) and self-identified blacks, also strong support from Latinos, from Roman Catholics (only half of them), Jews (who aren’t a huge bloc of votes), women, and first-time voters. It was enough votes to sew up 50 percent of the overall votes cast.
