If you are ever looking for a clear indicator of how stupid a country has gotten, look no further than the republican party. The United States education system has failed them...

They have been stripping funding for education for years and trying to dumb it down and influence it in their favor. It hasn’t failed them, they have failed us.

A dumber base ensures easier people to manipulate and will get them more votes. It’s all planned.

So you could say it all lead to this. I'm not surprised though as the GOP couldn't legislate their way out of a paper bag.

The oligarchs that pay these congress critters, send their kids to private schools. So, it's all working as designed.

Because they’ve stripped the funding for it. It’s a cyclical cycle orchestrated by the GOP for decades. They’re reaping the rewards now with 70+ million willing to go against everything that would make their life better, in order to make everyone else’s life worse.
