Why do Americans think celebrities make good political leaders? Reagan, Trump, Shirley Temple, Al Franken, Schwarzenegger, George Murphy, Clint Eastwood, Sonny Bono. I guess actual smart people know better than to get involved in that cesspool.
What do you think about the idea that children should have votes, to be used by their parents on their behalf until they are old enough to be interested?
Well, when the educational system is dumbed down to the lowest common denominator, all it’s going to produce are people who developmentally stagnate at the adolescent stage of mental acuity, giving them an Entitlement Mentality and little or no respect for self and others; in other words: sheeple that are susceptible to collectivist ideologies that empower the State and devalue the people, causing social decay and a loss of cohesion that in turn requires increased force to ensure production. This then causes rebellious behavior which often turns violent, forcing the State to retaliate with enough overwhelming power to accommodate even genocide, as history has shown every single time unchecked Collectivism has been implemented. But, hey! Something for nothing, am I right?
Kind of hard to know the issues if all you go by are ads that are misleading. And the reporting is just as bad. You really have to dig to find out what the positions really are. Or remember recent history as it actually happened and not as it was reported.

For the same reason your body suddenly develops a tolerance for alcohol on your 21st birthday.

Ignorance breeds ignorance. Notice the children at tRump rallies who were brought by their parents.

Maria Amalia “Melina” Mercouri was a famous Greek actress who went on to become a major politician. So it’s not only Americans….
