the drop in American IQ promulgated by colleges?

There has been a collective drop in America’s IQ as RW media spreads disinformation doubting Science, History, the weather, economics

We made you people as dumb and uninformed as you are?

... .... South Korea designs and makes better vehicles then [sic] us. ....

Can you prove that? Can you also prove that auto makers are still distinct enough to be considered representative of any particular nation? The global supply chain has interbred such large industries to the point that these kinds of distinctions are all but nominal. Automotive design isn't a state secret. Show me a Korean auto maker that doesn't employ many Americans. Show me an American auto maker that doesn't employ many Koreans.

Here is an example of 'evolving'.


Hard to believe, but look it up on the Congressional website for HR 748 from 116th Congress.
American population: 330,483,530
Stimulus bill: $2,000,000,000,000 ($2 Trillion)
Dividing the cost by everyAmerican is $6,051.74
The government could have given every person over $6,000, but instead will give $1,200 to each adult under a certain income.
Wanna know where the missing 96% of your tax dollars went?
Here you go. . .

$300,000,000 for the Endowment for the Humanities/ because no one even knew that was a thing
$15,000,000 for Veterans Employment Training / for when the GI Bill isn't enough
$435,000,000 for mental health support
$30,000,000,000 for the Department of Education stabilization fund/ because that will keep people employed (all those zeros can be confusing, that’s $30 BILLION)
$200,000,000 to Safe Schools Emergency Response to Violence Program
$300,000,000 to Public Broadcasting / NPR has to be bought by the Democrats
$500,000,000 to Museums and Libraries / Who the hell knows how we are going to use it

Too bad the wall's still being built. But at least the police got defunded. Aren't you happy?

As we age our worlds become smaller. Most of us have family but that is quickly becoming regarded as a threat to a government that first sold us out to the People’s Republic of China pharmaceutically and then used intelligence agencies to concoct Russian propaganda against a renegade president that angered the billion-strong communist hive mind.

The People’s Republic runs a tight ship. It has near total control of its population, a dream arrangement that strikes envy into the hearts of US politicians, academics, and corporate taskmasters that see American democracy as having run its course. The people here are no smarter than the faceless masses of China and giving them the power of the vote is an affront to globalizing elitist leadership. So, the greater good was to swindle them of that undeserved power with what can only be described as third-world election fraud on steroids.

It will be hard to prove that China, the main benefactor in the coup, used germ warfare as a comprehensive insurance policy to devastate the economic and industrial might of the World’s greatest democracy especially when the American Fourth Estate has devolved into propaganda ministries joining the Red Horde invading us by invitation.

Nonetheless we older Americans have avoided the drop in national IQ promulgated by American colleges and universities. At the very least we can see what is actually happening. We know that figurehead selected to occupy the White House did not get 80 million votes. We also realize that if this puppet takes the oath of office the bombings of distant civilizations will resume to enrich the political aristocracy fomenting the same brand of hatred that led to the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001.

We can be certain that if Joe Biden puts his on the Bible in January, Taiwan and Hong Kong will fall like dominoes. We are old. All we had was our vote. You saw what happened. If democracy is going to survive it is up to younger generations to take up the fight not just for American democracy but for democracy itself.

Our government, our educational apparatus and our press is now in league with our enemies. We call on you to save democracy for yourselves. Otherwise democracy will be just a word sitting in the dusty archived pages of future history books-if anyone can read them that is.

I saw what happened. A pretender to the throne came in, dazzled you with his false promises of understanding your grievances and promising to restore the racial hierarchy, returning the country you nostalgically remember growing up to your rightful birthright. And then, to your dismay, he turned out to not only be like just about every other politician making promises, but an incompetent, gaslighting fraud who had not even the slightest grasp of policy and how government is supposed to work. So, in your anguish, you decided to find scapegoats and distractions, because your grief was so fresh. You felt so betrayed, you looked around for anyone and anything to blame for your grief other than the persons directly responsible for it, 1) The pretender you supported. 2) Yourself.

At some point, every country, every society, every economy must evolve or it stagnates and descends into chaos or straight up dies. The time of your generation is coming to an end. That's just life. As another poster pointed out, it does no good to waste time on bemoaning the process of evolution. All you can do is adapt and move on. The republic will survive. Most Americans will move on and be happy we have competent individuals back running our government.

Nobody was dazzled by anyone, Jack. I've been around since '39 and have seen the best and the worst. The parties have both evolved since I was born. The Republicans are similar to what Democrats were in the 40s and 50s to the mid-60s. After that period the Dems evolved into the nest of criminal Progressive Socialists who would surrender the country to a One World Government. We would become prisoners of our leaders and live under an iron boot just like the Chinese and North Korean people. That is why the people should rise up and destroy anyone who would cause us to be prisoners in our own country. We fought to get our freedom from despots and are willing to do it again.

I find it astonishing that anyone could think that handing more and more power to a government, any government, is progress and evolution.

If anything, it is regression and deevolution.

We are regressing and devolving at a rapid pace. The Marxists always use the opposite words to describe what they see, that's to be expected.
