The “base”, the politically agitated minority on the right who can be duped, swayed, hoodwinked, and manipulated are always where things get dicey and momentum builds until there are uncontrollable forces able to wreak havoc and destruction. What does it take for “the people” to wake up and for those in positions of power to reverse the trends? Why are Democrats so “impotent” in getting their message out and countering the lies?

We have heard it a million times. Education is the key. Solid, truthful, factual information must find its way to the people. Citizens must be alert, discriminating, and capable of critical thinking and detecting BS. It’s too bad we don’t have some way for people to learn and develop those essential skills. Maybe in another 100 years.
