(53,778 posts)The 40 something couple are the result of some 30 years of the systematic underfunding of public schools. We get walking but not thinking id iots who don't even know they're being undereducated and therefore not able to see through and understand the vast echo chamber the right wing media has taken conjured up and put on the air waves in the country. They have been and continue to be programed by Limbutt, Fox noise and all the other talking point-spewing talking heads. They're actually too dumb to know that are being used by the controllers and funders of the right wing. And has anyone ever thought who the actual make up of the right is? It's got to be most of the top 1% (I say most because there are some good socially conscious rich folk), their supported minions in political offices (GOPers, and Bluedog dems), and the rest are working class and middleclass, or should I say formerly middleclass, dupes who are continually fooled by the right into hating unions, liberals, national healthcare, government programs that are the result of all taxpayers paying their fair share, and our African American president. The good thing is that GOPers are mostly white males and older whites who will become less and less of a factor as the country continues to brown as we speak. These non-progressive whites feel threatened that they are losing their privileged position in society, and they don't like it.
