How can the United States, a major hub of Ivy League Universities and of myriad of colleges and schools, give rise to so many morons?
In a normal world where everyone dotted with a brain can make use of such, it would not have been difficult to solve most (if not all) problems society would confront; unfortunately, it is not a normal world. Although most (if not all) people have a brain, very few have the ability to make use of such appropriately; others are simply content to know they too have a brain because of course they’re humans. There lies the major problems society has been confronting – from homo sapiens to modern humans – with no hope for a lasting solution; the United States is neither exempt nor unique in that aspect.
How do we have so many morons? Because the republicans want uneducated supporters. America as been dumbing down for years. Republican states taking funds away from education.

Dumb and Dumber is how the republicans like. With dangerous ditsy billionaire Betsy DeVos running education the Public Education system will be demolished beyond repair.
