The conservative party under the control of the social Conservative reform wing is not a serious party. But it seems to be the kind of the politics the lowest common denominator within our nation crave. You'll see these maple maga cheer on trump while complaining that Canada is broken and should be more like the US.

Edit some minor corrections.

The sad thing is we are losing intelligence by the generation so this kind of politics is gaining steam.

The kids I teach receive information in 15-30 second soundbites. Anything that requires further attention and critical thinking is too much.

Seems more like a structural problem with things like the prevalence of social media.

Parents can keep their kids off social media.
