Honestly the US population is just so goddamn stupid it's threatening our democracy.

This is happenning everywhere.

The US just has this strange mix of a less-than-Democratic Power Duopoly system, a Press totally captured by political forces and heavy on Propaganda, low average quality Education for a Developed nation and excessive nationalism and delusions of grandeur that makes people be a lot less critical than they should of the system they live in.

I expect that the average natural stupidity in the US is no greater than elsewhere, it just seems that stupidity goes a lot further there and learned stupidity is a lot more cultivated by mass media.
