the lesson I'm taking away from this election is not that the Democrats need to become more left wing or more right wing but moreso that they need to find a way to cater their rhetoric towards people who genuinly have no idea what is going on. the target audience for every speech and political appearance should be someone who doesn't know what the three branches of government are because they were drawing a Cool S during high school civics
political scientists have failed to consider the possibility that the silent majority is silent because they didn't understand the question and are trying to play it cool
#not to be a conspiracy theorist#but conservatives have been tryibg to gut public schools simce they started p mucj#probably bc they recognize that their messaging works best on people who know fuck all about how the government/economy/etc work#it's real easy to tear shit doen thru ignorance#but you have to understand it to build it back up
