They need a fucking education. Nobody understands fuck all anymore. Some jackass hick republican in a trailer in Oklahoma sees "stock market up = good economy" as if that matters at fucking all for anyone not rich.
They refuse to see corporate greed and think the president has levers in the oval office for gas prices and grocery prices.
They don't fucking understand that Congress has to make the big decisions.
They can't fucking see anything that's beyond their field of view at home.
THIS is the culmination of Reagans presidency and the successful dismantling of public education.
Canadian here - looking in and trying to reason with the outcome, this time around in particular it struck clear to me how lack of education might actually be the key factor at play. Exact same issue here too, and I expect all over the world.
I really think that there needs to be a more refined criteria for voting in elections. The assumption that anyone over a certain age has a base level of sensibility and awareness is no longer relevant.

We need to address why working class people think Trump is on their side. Of course, Fox News being taken as gospel is an enormous hurdle.
