America can not stand on her own two feet until she empowers and educates her people to stand on theirs. The Republican propaganda machine utilizes language acquisition and literacy education to deceive and enslave their constituency.
Language acquisition and literacy educators in our primary, secondary, and collegiate schools teach a theory of emotionally driven behavior. This cognitive construct must be further assimilated by a student to understand and comprehend more advanced works in literature, psychology, philosophy, religion, and law. This neurolinguistic programming is also reinforced with a socially accepted reflexive stimulus-thought-emotion-act cognitive construct as professed by our academia in literature, religion, psychology, law, and philosophy. The Republican propaganda machine makes full use of this animalistic reflexive cause and effect emotional process where thoughts stimulate emotions that drive behavior. But this is a false cognitive construct of a highly evolved and human cognitive-emotional re-processing mechanism where cognition, not emotion, precipitates the neurological and biochemical physiology that does drive behavior.
Emotions, as perception of physiological states of being, have evolved to guide, re-process, and re-construct cognitive behavior towards those thoughts and beliefs that feel good and empower the individual. The Republican propaganda machine relies on humanity’s ignorance and inability to re-process, re-structure, and re-organize one’s own internal thoughts, beliefs, and awarenesses towards joy, well-being, and success and rely on a person’s education into an automatic, reflexive, and animalistic behavior responses to blame their outside surrounding and observable “reality” (as the machine has defined it to be) as causal to their pain, suffering, and failure.
Americans are made weak and ineffective in their efforts to combat the Republican propaganda because they are “educated” and have accepted the Ancient Greek philosophers’ and today’s academic dissertations of emotional suffering, slavery, and vulnerability. Americans need to understand that emotional suffering, slavery, and vulnerability exists only when cognitively dwelling upon the lack or absence of that which is wanted, desired, or intended. The lack of our own educational academia to understand our highly evolved and human cognitive-emotional re-processing mechanism has created an opening for a power-hungry, apathetic elite to dominate the political landscape.
Our educators, especially those in language acquisition and literacy development need to understand they are teaching an erroneous psychology of emotionally driven behavior. Disempowering emotionally negative cognitive activities can be re-processed, re-structured, and re-developed into emotionally positive cognitions that reflect health, well-being, and success, if a person has developed the abilities, skills, and beliefs to do so. A Republican constituency of emotional suffering, slavery, and vulnerability can be transformed, transmuted, and reinvented into a humanity of joy, freedom, and power with the imaginative, artistic, and creative mind necessary to fashion and manifest their wanted, desired, and intended world, reality, truth, and favored fortune.
Or, like the Republican elite, is that not the American the Democratic elite want from our educational institutions?
Well, as Michael Monett commented, I'm not sure I fully understand all that you're presenting i your analysis. I certainly agree that our education system has largely been put to the service of dumbing us down, and the emphasis on emotional response over cognitive mentation is widespread on left and right. There are times when the emotional response may be what's best suited to the situation, as when there is a need to respond to grave injustices. Cognitive thinking may indeed lead to an emotional response, which, in turn, leads to action. And let me be clear: I am responding with what may be an imperfect grasp of the points you are trying to make.
Don't be so humble, John. I've got a bunch of fancy paper on the wall, and I think all that gobbledygook boils down to a particularly creative prologue to "whataboutism." 1st P.: Repub. propaganda uses "language acquisition and literacy education to deceive and enslave...." So, poorer command of language and less literacy is going to set us free? Our current school system, per Jackson post, teaches a "cognitive construct" (P. 2) that "must be further assimilated by a student to understand and comprehend more advanced works in literature, psychology, philosophy, religion, and law." Maybe it's just catastrophically incomplete. It's bad for us to comprehend these things? He seems to know about a better way, but isn't sharing it with us. Maybe some real-life examples? "Americans" (which?) can't combat Repub. propaganda because they know too much about "ancient Greek philosophers?" Well, that's not the stereotype MAGA, for sure. It was fun, anyway....
When educators were replaced by politicians in control of education, it was doomed. I used to know lots of teachers highly motivated to help kids. Now, every teacher I know is teaching because it's great pay, great hours, and now that politicians dictate curriculum, they barely have any academic duties besides babysitting the kids and doling out boring, repetitive sub-third world learning they had no input formulating.

Maybe "whataboutism" isn't precise. I was using it as shorthand for: "Both parties do it, so who cares-ism."

Thanks for introducing me to this way of looking at it. I'm not sure I understand yet, but I want to see if I can, by re-reading what you just wrote, and then checking out the link you just gave. It sounds a lot like Stoicism in some ways. ( https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2011/10/02/what-is-stoicism-and-how-can-it-turn-your-life-to-solid-gold/ )
So far, my psychological perspective on what has happened to us the last 45 years has been focused on the psychology of authoritarianism.

Or, as a dorm-mate of mine at UC, who was a nuclear physicist, used to say: "That's so profound it's obscure."
