Aren't they 'dumb as fukk' because education is an afterthought not a priority in most of the US? It's kinda by design.
Sure, but even states with "superior" education like Cali, NY etc still do absolutely stupid shyt voting wise. There's a lot of brainwashing with the media we consume as well because it's owned by billionaires who want the population to stay dumb about what's really up in this country.
The minute I started educating myself on political theory and how things fall on a global scale for a political compass I quickly realized damn near all of our politicians are super right wing and this country is super fukked up and it's by design. Main take away is capitalism is pretty much at fault for all of it, everything in politics and driven by making sure billionaires and corporations stay rich at the cost of human lives.
Just look how much money these c*nts made during COVID, a pandemic that killed anywhere from 700K - 1M Americans. That kind of shyt is completely unacceptable.
