‘Ill Equipped’

From Salon, “[C]itizens have proved ill equipped cognitively and emotionally to run a well-functioning democracy. As a consequence, the center has collapsed and millions of frustrated and angst-filled voters have turned in desperation to right-wing populists.” I quote Shawn Rosenberg, who is a professor of political science and psychology at UC Irvine. Of course, he has more to say on the topic of America’s declining democracy, but that’s his thesis in a nutshell. Americans are morons. Go figure. Welcome to stupid America. This web blog proves itself daily.
