"We are not going to dumb down so conservatives feel less mentally challenged."


That seems to be the expectation of the Trump voter. And by Trump voter, I mean a person who has no clue of the inter-related impact of politics, economics, and history. A democracy needs an educated population. I think the 2016 election results reflect the challenges we face to maintain a democracy. They probably don't know what the platform of the Republican Party or the Democratic Party are. They don't read legislation....too difficult. They let Rush Limbaugh and Shaun Hannity tell them what to think. They vote the personality, not the substance. And there are a lot of them....


Anyways, just wanted to comment on your great and succinct post. This is why I read DU!
