Read it and learn something. It will be spot on.

What else is there to say? If you didn't learn to read comprehensively, write clearly, take logic, learn to reason, and enjoy thinking what can be done for your pitiful worthless ass? You are too ill equipped to begin a germ of critical thought which could lead to a relevant question which might reveal the lies of what you were just told.

These kids aren't dumb. They are carefully and maliciously taught to be ignorant. Ignorance simply means you've never been taught to think for yourself! Millennials can't make the simplest of household repairs, let alone run a simple diagnostic on their car. It's the same reason they don't question or think about politics for themselves. They have no critical thinking skills. Logic was pulled from most public school curricula 20 years or more ago because it was deemed to be a tool of oppression by the Caucasoid race of Western Europeans who used it to enslave non whites. Of course nobody challenged the B.S. of this since it came from Mediterranean culture (specifically Greek) and included mathematics which came from North African culture as it spread across the Med. And never mind that slavery was ubiquitous across all cultures and practiced in Africa as one tribe would raid another and in America where one tribe of Native Americans would raid another for servants and wives. What the hell let's call all thinking people white whether they are or aren't. African Americans who succeed are white. Asians who succeed are white. And therefore all white people are responsible for the failure of everyone who isn't white.

If public education wouldn't or couldn't defend logic against this baseless and insane accusation that I laid out above when the teaching of it was culturally and ignorantly challenged, why should we expect public education to teach anything but ignorance. When education begins with a polemic against reason and logic it is impossible for it to impart the ability to think to their students! And then all of us act surprised, dismayed, disgusted and alarmed when we wake up and find that half of those running for the Democratic nomination to be the President of the United States are dumber than rocks and the other half insanely following lies and half truths.

Whizz on us for not having the balls to stop it 20 plus years ago! The insanity began when all of us didn't raise hell with the changes in public education from the late 80's through the late 90's.

To Shere Kahn I say yes Democrats hate America. But they were taught to by the real threat to our freedom and Republic, Public Education which represents the "Real Haters" of America!

Texas with its elected school board has been fighting the good fight. So much so that the left complains about textbooks having to comply with Texas standards.

Then all Trump needs to do is to replace the NEA with the TEA!

And to another post just above about Millennials I quote Dean Wormer, sort of, "Pasty, dumb, and disengaged is no way to go through life son!"

That started with Gen X and I'm not seeing them scrambling to get their tats removed.

This is a vast majority of Southerners with FOX news on 24/7 and no other news outlet. Works both ways. Have a real conversation with people face to face about politics in person and you'll quickly learn that most people are very lazy about how they dial in to politics. When you go North it is usually CNN

Most people in this country just vote how their parents vote, especially at a younger age.

Nice. Fox's ratings would be considerably higher if this were true. Don't know how you classify "Southerners", but pretty sure people from all over the country watch Fox.

I meant more people who actually watch the news.

My point was more that people listen to the news that they lean with because they simply don't want to be challenged in any way. After listening to only one news source for so long you'll just lean that much harder that direction.

But you're right, I shouldn't have generalized so much. We have a wide variety of people in the South.

I think the phrase you're looking for is confirmation bias. While you are wrong for painting us with such a broad brush you're not wrong in that we do tend to stick to news sources - and group ourselves among like minded individuals - who confirm biases that already exist within ourselves.

Oh, I don’t know.

I get faaaaar more enjoyment and entertainment in reading or listening to the loons at dem underground, auntie pinko, salon or prog radio stuff on Sirius.
Regular laugh fest.

I can get plenty of my own “hot takes” on stuff from my own head. No added ingredients needed.
