        I’m sure your question was rhetorical, but for those listening from the back: Decades of intentionally under-funding public education, for a start.

          And go back even further, exposure to lead fumes from leaded gas in cars made an entire generation incapable of complex logical thought.

            True. I literally think of that most days when I see older folks irrationally freak out at the smallest inconvenience. Not that this happens to most old folks, it’s just really remarkable when you do witness it. It’s really sad that they can’t control it, just too bad about the ones who gained power and used it to fuck everyone else over.

            Is this actually proven? I know lead has harmful effects, but do we actually know how it affected that generation?

        They were registered as “Republican” for the primary, so they draw from the two-digit IQ crowd already.
