I used to love American popular culture. I found it rich, diverse and endlessly amusing. These days, I rarely go to the movies or plays and cannot bear to watch television. Even the radio with its repetitive, uninformative news snippets annoys. Our popular culture has moved from family favorites like Your Show of Shows, The Wonder Years, and I Love Lucy to the minute by minute coverage of celebrities not known for their wit, charm, or beauty, They are known for nothing other than the willingness to put their every part of bodies on narcissistic display and to promote the latest chichi leftwing cause.
Alicia Colon examines the phenomenon of the low information voters such a dross culture produces
Right now they are clueless. Consequently they have allowed the Democrats to hijack and distort the GOP's positions on virtually every issue. Republicans, therefore, don't care about the middle class and only want to reduce the taxes of the rich. They are also racists who want to keep minorities down. These distortions are repeated often by anchors on MSNBC and the alphabet networks. CNN is always on in the social service offices and in airports and the formerly legitimate cable station is so far on the decline that it feels comfortable allowing disgusting antics by amoral hosts on its New Year's Eve broadcast.
But it is folly to assume that all the low-info voters are poorly educated or on the dole. College students and graduates of liberal academia have been completely indoctrinated in leftist ideology and loathe all things conservative. Their bibles include the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times which routinely carry and affirm the Democrat lies.
Hollywood trots out alarming films on climate change, environmental doom and the racist doings of evil white men. Stars like Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel Jackson, Jamie Foxx, and Morgan Freeman use their talents to shill for the administration and the Democrats. The hypocrites that filmed that anti-gun ad calling for action following the Sandy Hook school massacre blithely ignore their participation in films glamorizing a violent gun culture. Democrats called for the ban on all assault weapons with some leftist reporter asking if we really needed such a weapon to kill an animal.

even the Republicans distort their own views. What was formerly conservative is now moderate. all moderates are RINO's. The Republican Party can't even define what it is really about. Don't woory about MSNBC and the likes, the internal squabbling is enough to turn the majority of Americans off.
There ARE other parties that have much better candidates, but it takes VOTERS to educate themselves and realize what they are dealing with including the present inability of Obama to address our current issues, and driving anti American agendas down our throats.
I voted for Gary Johnson this time around, knowing that MD would fall hook, line, and sinker for the Anointed One. (It only takes 3 counties to do the job, and Wicomico is not one of those!)
I think there was a "Ron Paul" up there as well, who believed in the Constitution, but was thrown aside.
If you wish to be an idiot, you will become one, and become the victim of Idiocy.
Here we are!
