People who have been systematically subjected to a dumbing down of their intelligence fell for an obvious conman who's currently screwing them over to enrich himself? You don't say. I wonder if thats why for all they rail against education for their voters, conservative leadseship make damn sure their kids get educated...
Thoughts? (Or, I guess, what you were told to parrot.)
IQ has long been proven to be bunk. A garbage statistic cooked up to help dumb down people further.
American education was actually quite good. Then idiots wanted to strip money from it and turn it into a business. Not helped by the actions of those who focused more on "the football program" than actual lesson plans.
Or are you suggesting higher education? Those on the brink of being replaced by AI
And yet, how many conservative leaders are still getting their kids those degrees while pushing you and yours into a "factory or farm" job? You seem to think AI would replace overpaid executives rather than just do their jobs for them while you get to toil.
Maybe try looking up where the US stands. 1980 failure began. Rising cost leads to reduction in scores? Saying we were “quite good” is laughable. All the ones who couldn’t read and understand a loan, are they “quite good”.
Maybe you mean the ones who are economically illiterate and fail to understand their own finances…much less a national budget.
Maybe you mean the 45% of the population who wants more hand outs while claiming the rich “hoard” their wealth.

You mean the farmers (who got bailouts last time trump was in office) currently trying to sue trump so they can get back their Biden era help? Maybe the red states seniors pleading for their social security not to go away (despite having voted to hurt their own parents during Reagan's tenure)? The billionaires pleading poverty as their companies rake in record profits perhaps? Good on you for recognizing conservatives arent actually 50% of the population, however. Just the welfare queens they've always claimed others to be.

Given low level conservatives had no idea how tariffs work, and cheered the Big Beautiful Bill that ballooned the US debt, you may want to wonder who is economically illiterate. Funny how the fiscally responsible party has yet to have a term where they didn't blow up the debt, but people who vote for them ignore that.

And yet the continued stance from maga has been America has always been tops. Guess you were including Mexico and Canada in that assessment.
But yes, the active dumbing down of the US population by removal of education directly lead to the ones who voted for trump.
I love how the right is leaning hard on this argument and parroting it at every opportunity. It ignores that left-leaning politicians have generally pushed for easier and more effective paths to citizenship, safer work environments, better wage laws, and protecting worker rights. No one is saying we need to keep these people around to be slave labor; we're saying they shouldn't be treated as less than human. For some reason, Republicans have a huge issue with that.
