"ARE WE TOO STUPID TO SAVE OURSELVES?" By One Pissed Off Liberal, March 17, Daily Kos

With so-called progressives backing the establishment they once opposed and republicans on the verge of nominating Hitler Mussolini, one might be forgiven for reaching such a conclusion. Of course it ain't over.
Trump says he loves the poorly educated. Of course he does, they're his base.

50 years or more of intentional dumbing-down of the American people by choking out public education, killing journalism and corrupting the airways with propaganda and bullshit may have done the trick. We can't be sure yet.

When 'progressives' turn against healthcare as a human right, you have to wonder. Have the neoliberals made us believe it's impossible? Much of the rest of the world doesn’t seem to think so.
Have they deprived enough people of a quality education? Have they confused the public mind sufficiently, muddied the waters thoroughly enough, deprived the cultural mainstream of enough important information, replaced it with enough nonsense, distractions and disinformation for the great pall of stupid to prevail?

Has the DLC/DNC succeeded in perverting the once noble ideals of 'the people's party,' sold off enough of its high-minded principles to trick us into embracing the suck that we have fought against for over a century? They've tried mightily to turn us into the republican party. Have they succeeded?

Have we just given up? Or are we seriously too stupid to see what's been done to us? What's being done to us?
We have environmentalists turning their backs on climate change, Quakers supporting the war machine, 'liberals' voting against healthcare as a human right and 'progressives' supporting Wall Street and the Henry Kissinger crowd. A thinking person might ask, WTF is wrong with us? How can anyone in good conscience continue to support this horror show? Continued.

1. If you look at the stats, yes we as a people are too damn stupid to be allowed to have

the bomb or anything really.

2. No argument from me. It's clear like never before that humans are incapable of

being 'in charge' of the world...

3. I don't put it at humans as much as Americans after seeing that post from KOS.

I think Mexico and Haiti could take over, and we might be better off.

4. American superpower or any modern superpower is too dangerous at this point.

There might be hope for small groups and governance sans nuclear weapons, wmds and if we get a handle on saving the environment as I see it.

I don't know if he has his own rally there that day but this looks like a lot of Occupy people will be there. Maybe BLM too. so far over 4.7K people say that they are going.
