6. Education declines, polarization increases
Methinks there is another paradiam operating here. I believe as our national education scores plummeted, and students were shoved out the door with some not even literate, and the ride in religion, we see a major increase of uneducated ideological voters. In church voters are told to vote republican. The ignorant listen to o'really hannity, limbaugh , and think they are hearing truth. Since they do not have the ability to know the truth when they hear it , because of a less proficient education,and peer pressure like the NASCAR clique , we see people duped to believe, or told to be "patriotic" and support policies that have no factual basis. The inability to form an educated opinion, is the result of a less than useable education, due to education buget cuts. We got smart bombs , dumb citizens. More educated people should be able to decern fallicies through deduction, yet some are just ideological. Many well educated people, have done very dumb things due to religious backgrounds.
