Decades of systematically undermining our education system by the party benefiting from the dumb-as-dirt electorate who will gleefully vote for a dictator. Now they’re banning controversial books, such as ‘The Dictionary.’
Gerrymandering and disenfranchisement are tools the right uses at every possible chance as well, so we not only have stupid people but they’re being actively manipulated by bad faith actors.
About 1/3rd of the country realizes he’s dangerous, 1/3rd are apparently fine with it and actually think a dictatorship will solve all their problems, and the other 1/3rd are apathetic and will probably ‘both sides’ themselves into letting Trump plunge the country into third-world status and letting Russia/China/autocrats run roughshod over the rest of the world. It’s absolutely ridiculous that we’ve gotten here in the short span of four years, as if people have already forgotten how shitty 2016-2020 was and all the felony crimes Trump is currently on trial for.
That last third is basically going “well he made gas prices go down”. They don’t, or can’t, grok the bigger issues that Trump had, and instead really only focus on what he’s done for THEIR LITTLE CORNER. They don’t care about his crimes, or whatever else he’s been dealing with, what they care about is that under Trump, things mostly seemed economically stable, and 2020 was just a blip that “nobody could’ve navigated better” (a lie propped up by a lot of GOP lawmakers, and sadly even a lot of Democrats who didn’t want to challenge Trump too hard).
This is so dangerous. Why can’t US citizens see that?

Most of us do, and have been screaming it for years.
But the main issue here is that some of us are just catastrophically stupid.
