re: #150 HappyWarrior

I really dislike the EC. It’s a relic leftover from the Founders mistrust of the common people.

Considering how many common people support Trump its makes the Founders seem wise. Democracy only works when the people are educated. That hasn’t been the case for decades. The US is drowning in propaganda. You can’t even blame cuts in education completely because the Boomers supporting Trump were educated in a time before education cuts. Boomers are by far the largest consumers of Fox News & talk radio propaganda. They have been propaganda junkies the longest and helped established the market. Not letting the younger generations off the hook however. I just suspect that Gen Xers are getting their propaganda fix from a mix of TV, radio and the internet. Meanwhile, Millenials are mainly brainwashed by the internet.
