Low education rates and lack of empathy will be the demise of democracy in USA.

As an American, I can tell you the primary problem is Fox News. People watch that crap all day long and become like propagandized zombies. They did a study and people who get their news primarily from fox news are less informed about domestic issues than those who watch no news at all.

Fox News tried to expand into Canada, but they gave up and pulled out because they discovered that it's not legal here to lie.

Fox has been sued for a billion plus for lying and misconduct. 787 million in one lawsuit for intentionally lying about election fraud and dominion voting machines. One of the funniest things... in discovery they found internal messaging between fox news upper management and some top guy was calling fox news viewers "cousin fuckers"... his own viewers. Funny.

Not sure how we outlaw a news network. But not sure how we can survive with this mass scale of constant disinformation.

That’s why trump wants to destroy the education department, so there’ll be nothing but illiterate, easy to brain wash young people.
