      It was a perfect success from the perspective of the people who instigated it in the 1980’s

        Shouldn’t the older people be more educated if it was only gutted in the 1980s? My impression is that they are even less educated than the younger generations.

      How do you figure? We have millions of ignorant voters reliant on politicians to tell them how to feel. Without this, there would be no Republican Party.

        Unfortunately, there probably would be. Hopefully it would be less popular, but some people just non-ironically think that way. Disturbing, but reality.

      Why? It created a nation of blithering idiots willing to threaten people with murder over daring to mention something they refuse to understand.

      its working exactly as it was intended to.

      Only for the majority, not for those who had existing money and power. For those people it just solidified their positions in the ruling class.
      No matter how short-sighted that is.
