Face It Folks, We Are Not Getting Smarter

 The one and only reason parts of the USA are the way they are is due to uneducated, uninformed and misinformed citizens. A good percentage of them are located in the so-called bible belt, which included Texas. For one, they despise "yankees" (people north of the Mason/Dixon Line) but voted for a New York conman/grifter for president in 2016. A good 33% of Americans.

“The average IQ of the world's population, which has consistently risen from the post-war to the end of the 90 s, has been declining over the last twenty years… It seems that the level of intelligence measured by testing is decreasing in the most developed countries. Many can be the causes of this phenomenon. One could be the impoverishment of language.

Fewer words and fewer conjugated verbs imply less ability to express emotions and fewer possibilities for thinking elaboration.
Studies have shown that violence in both public and private spheres come directly from the inability to describe one's emotions through words. No words to build reasoning, complex thinking is made impossible.
The poorer the language, the more thought disappears.”

Read the above a couple of times and recall how donald j trump used a very limited vocabulary to beguile millions of America voters. He spoke their language. He told the same lie over and over again until it became the truth. The Washington Post tabulated over 30,000 lies by trump and yet those followers of trump still voted for him.

For example: Phone and mail scam organizations working in South American countries prey on Americans with cons, “too good to be true.” They promise those who lack the mental capacity to recognize a con money and goods providing they send them a small amount of cash to take care of “processing.” I heard of one where the scammer is actually sending a Mercedes Benz car key, telling them that they had won this car and it would be delivered providing they send a “processing” fee from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. When the car is not delivered as promised, they often ask for more money to overcome an additional processing fee. After all: “Wouldn’t you pay a couple of thousand dollars for a new Benz?” Of course, they never get the car and there is no way to recover the money.
These are the people who fall for the scams of politicians like donald j trump. Even after trump lost, these Americans sent him over $2 million for his overturn the vote effort. The money went straight into trumps pocket.
These are the same people who believed if they took over the US Capitol on January 6th 2021 and murdered Democrat members of the House and Senate, they could someone hold another election.
This is the behavior of a human being who is not capable of reasoning or being able to distinguish the truth from the lie. THEY JUST DON’T HAVE THE CAPACITY anymore than I have the ability to lift a 1000 pound weigh off the floor. I can’t do it and probably never will.

This on third of the population are often members of religious organizations who preach against abortion. For some, this is the only litmus test for a politician. If you are “pro-life” they will vote for you even if your policies are not supportive of the living. The unborn are more important than your life, your neighbor’s life or that of their own. Religious zealots are the most difficult to deal with since they are willing, to die for their religion or kill you for yours or lack of religion.
Just look at the string of human trash who have won elections opposing Roe vs Wade (made abortions legal in the USA). I believe if Roe were overturned, Americans would not vote as much for republicans since there is no other virtue then their support of the pro-life agenda. They are not conservative when it comes to government spending, foreign policy or basic human rights.

republicans have become the party of money and greed, ignoring people and need. The recent cold snap and snow storm in Texas is a perfect example. Millions are without power, water and food for more than a week. This is due to years of republicans neglecting basic infrastructure. https://bityl.co/5fNx

Bottom Line;
1. A third of the population of the USA is NOT capable of intelligent discussions.
2. Led by their religious need to meddle in the lives of women they don’t even know, they will continue to support “pro-life” candidates as the peril of their own.
3. What do the rest of us do with the 33%?

But no one gives a big rats ass what I think...
