This election is turning out to be a national IQ test — one than we are not guaranteed to pass. The dumbing-down of the populace, by a complicit education system and a thoroughly corrupt media, has done its job all too well.
Add in the entertainment industry where many people get their news. I often joke that I can't even watch a gardening show without left-wing politics interjected.

I fear you are correct in your summation, but I would go even further. Too many people simply don’t care any more. I don’t know if it is laziness, a lack of patriotism, pure selfishness, or some combination of all of the above. 20+ Trillion and counting and no end in sight and there is a 50/50 chance at this point we will elect a person who is almost guaranteed to double it and few can extrapolate what it really means for them, their children, and their grandchildren.
