Reminder: At 1:48AM with 99% of all votes in, President Trump had a 117,000 vote lead, or, 3%. The US is not a 'Democratic Republic' it is a authoritarian uni-party run joke, and the 'citizens' are tax cattle.

Democracy is unsustainable when the population becomes moronic scum.

Okay so what is the solution? I have a lot of ideas for a fix, but here is one: make the voting age much higher. There is a reason so-called revolutionaries always target the youth. They are easy to manipulate. There is a point where you have to say IQ is not the only piece of the puzzle and very intelligent people can be manipulated by people with machiavellian traits. I think postponing voting and certain decision making to an older age is one way to fix the “moronic scum” problem.

    Too bad the educational system is so infected with crazy and corruption that there is no salvaging it. Time to knock it down and start from scratch. Privately.

    The problem is we are now too diverse. Far too diverse to form a functional high trust society.

    Groups of people all over the world evolved in unique environments in which different strategies and behaviors were useful.

    The US was founded by a bunch of cold climate agrarians with a strict set of rules (christianity). Then we tried to include a bunch of people that weren’t those things and we threw away the rules. The results are predictable— chaos.

    Some behaviors you cant teach. People develop them over a very long period of time. Groups evolve with their own cultures. Cultures are the rules of society. Everybody has to be following the same set of rules to cooperate. Otherwise no one will trust anyone. Prosperity is the first casualty. Multiculturalism = no trust =everybody poor. The problem cannot be fixed in a civics class.
