13. Dammit. "Reality TV" is what most Americans watch and "learn " from.

DWTS, AGT, Comic Heros, etc. This cheap, lowbrow, minimally stimulating entertainment is what American society craves, apparently. The dumbing down of America has been the single most successful educational effort since the 3-R's.

Most voters ONLY pull their eyes from their smart phones long enough to refocus if it's dramatic, pornographic or screechingly heinous. They're NOT even going to show up at the polls unless they feel their life is threatened or they sincerely believe the situation for their personal interests is operable. Otherwise they will forget what they thought, vaguely noticed or recalled, on some past date.

Hit the populace with all the ACCURATE drama possible from every possible media continually until they have voted and hope to hell (or heaven) the GOP hasn't out-staged us again.
