Description

“ The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance” “…ESPECIALLY A KIND OF CELEBRATION OF IGNORANCE” That’s exactly the phrase! Trumpism allows you to believe you are as smart as you think you are, just like fearless leader! Sweet mother-of-pearl, if it were only that easy. People with low IQ are easily manipulated because the cannot logically evaluate propaganda for content. They lack the mental horsepower tools to properly evaluate statements they parrot. WE versus THEM is the rhetoric pushed by the republican fascist party. When we are forced to vilify our neighbors the results will eventually be catastrophic for Democracy. Will we regain our Democracy or will we become just another 3rd world dictatorship? It doesn’t look good for Democracy!
