And yet these people vote.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~


In a recent video, YouTuber James Klug set out on a journey to ask members of Gen Z basic questions about the United States, geography and world history, among other subjects.

Some of the answers he received are incredibly discouraging.

“We’ve all seen those videos showing how little Gen Z knows about literally everything, so today we’ve come to Los Angeles, California, and we’re gonna figure out if this is really the case,” Klug said at the beginning of the video. He then hit the streets to ask people his various questions.

Same game, different decade. We could pull the Jay Leno tapes from the 90s and see the same thing from Gen X, the parents of Gen Z, and the children of Baby Boomers.

To be fair, Jay Leno was capturing the stupidity of random people on video for his show as far back as the 90's. Jonathon Gruber was right when he said Obamacare passed because politicians can reliably count on the stupidity of the average voter. That appears to be true regardless of their credentials. But it's even worse now, because the totalitarian types seek to derange the kids in Maoist fashion, and themselves either can't define anything or simply change the definition of words in real-time to suit their agenda.

There hasn't been a queen of England since Queen Anne in the 18th century before the Act of Union. There is a Queen of the United Kingdom.

"I don't want to think because I don't want to sound dumb."

Wow!

"What was Adolph Hitler's first name?"

"... ... I don't know."

Yep.

Blame the US Dept of Education.

The average American reads at a 6-7th grade reading level.
Mental math is a thing of the past....out come the phones to do simple addition.

History has turned into a huge story of social injustices did to people over the years.

That "not all" seems to be getting smaller and smaller each year.

Look at how easily the masses turned on the "unvaccinated" as if they were the sole reason covid was spreading. All because the government told them so. Until it became obvious that the vaccines didn't work.
Then the government went silent.

You don't hear much about how the "unvaccinated" are keeping covid alive and spreading do you ?
