What the fuck happened to the education system
It was deliberately hampered to produce poorly educated people who are easier to swindle.
The only motive for education that kids are taught is for their careers and income. Education for fun or self improvement or world improvement is considered a waste of time and looked down on. That's why you get a bunch of economy obsessed fascists voting for an orange turd.
Capitalism.
It was getting in the way of people voting for the most populist person so they got rid of it. It's now replaced with a combination of pavlovian reward system + "stay in line" reminders, so that voters can go for the simplest campaign promise (eg: make america great again), without struggling to understand if the 'how' can actually accomplish the 'what'.
