Why does America breed so many shit cunts?
Because the rest of the world sent their shit cunts here.
Because we didn't punish the Confederate traitors hard enough.
Because Biden didn't round up Trump and all of his henchmen immediately after being sworn in, and ship them to Gitmo for extensive interrogation about their treason with Russia, and corruption.
But that would have been lead to even more consequences from the donors, who pretty much treated the democrats as useful idiots at best.
USA has always been scared of applying real consequences for fear of losing popular support. Jefferson and Adams knew slavery was wrong. Adams knew it was wrong and abhorred it. But couldn't do anything because of that reason and the need unite the States of a new nation. Same after the Civil War, healing a fractured nation and all that. Even leading to the Civil War there were Missouri and 1850 Compromises. And it goes on and on. United States of Compromise.
That too
because they're trailing most developed nations in education
There are actually some pretty intelligent conservatives, but oligarchs intentionally funnel more money to dumb right wingers to afford bigger and louder megaphones.
citation needed on the intelligent conservatives thing.
Thomas Sowell and Roger Scruton are pretty okay IMO. They make sense even if you don't fully agree. I am tempted to include David Frumm, who is an anti-Trump neoconservative, but he was an adviser to Bush Jr administration and therefore complicit to the invasion of Iraq and financial crisis, so I can't give him more respect as I would have liked.
But overall this is my point exactly if none of you can think of respectable enough conservatives. The intelligent ones are buried by the more deranged pseudointellectual right wingers because the latter are deliberately given more voice by vested interests to intentionally dumb down people.
