short answer: median intelligence of individual US residents has plummeted over the past five decades
our 105-120 IQ Boomers are largely being replaced by 85-100 IQ Gen Zers/immigrants

Department of Ed gave the socialist the entrance into education, they destroyed the public schools and then the universities year by year.
They used fat mean depressed women to carry the load and they brought along all the "not my child" moms with them.
This created the everyone gets a trophy kid and the have extra kids out of wedlock on the welfare generation which in turn exploded the I want an abortion girl.
This morphed into a generation of soy boys who were brow beat by their independent angry socialist wives and we now have the trans issue and the I don't know what a woman is crowd..

Once they've finally pushed Trump aside, expect a "Trump-like... but reasonable" messiah to rise in the republican ranks heading into 28. This person will be a complete fraud and will be run by the same operators putting on this bad show...and will likely win. We'll be expected to forget everything that's happened at that point, because our side "won". But just like with H.W. Bush, we will have lost. Again. Because we're stupid.
This is a 100% certainty.
This will definitely happen.

Reagan was the first President I remember. Like Donald Trump, he was unpopular with the establishment of his party. He had "dangerous" ideas. He came to power in a bad economy and left with a much better one. Someone tried to kill him early on... a lone kook trying to impress an actress.
He was replaced by an intelligence hack who quickly landed us in a war and began running his mouth about a "new world order". He lost to Clinton.
Clinton rode a tech boom to economic prosperity, but sold us out to China and decimated our industry for decades to come.
W. Bush, like his father, quickly landed us in wars, empowered unelected bureaucracy to unprecedented levels and went to hide and paint on his ranch.
Obama inflamed race tensions back to levels unseen since the 60s, increased government reach into healthcare, armed terrorists and overthrew stable governments in the middle east and continued to fire missiles at muslims for eight years. He blew up taxes under massive class warfare rhetoric primarily targeting the middle class. As a result, the tea party briefly rose to power and were subsequently stabbed in the back by those they helped elect...
That whole thing... you fricking nailed it.

Our culture is entertainment oriented. Jersey Shore, the Kardashians, and similar stuff have contributed to brain rot.

We became consumers and forgot we have a soul and intuition. We live in a fake world.

That's a lot of writing when you could have just said LBJ's Great Society is most of the reason we are where we are at this point. It's why I consider him to be a worse resident than Brandon.

Several posts here about education. But the one thing people often miss is college admission standards. Sure the profs are left wing. But that only works if college students lack critical thinking skills before they enter college.
Back in the 60s a small minority of kids went to college. A neighbor would call my parents and say 'My son got into college!!!" It was news. Today the admission standard is a pulse.
The lower GPA students of the past went straight to work after HS and they learned a skill, how to manage money and how to get along with a variety of people. A lot of them voted conservative.
Today the lower GPA students go to college and believe everything their prof says.

Shorter answer. Multiculturalism.

Dumb assed teachers.
While I was in 1st grade at Pineville Elementary School I was looking closely at the globe of the Earth that she had on the shelf.
I quickly noticed that South America and Africa would neatly fit together . I thought I made a major discovery and I quickly told/showed my teacher.
She quickly told me that was impossible and that I was wrong .B*tch never heard of plate tectonics/ continental drift and Alfred Wegener.
I didn't believe her.
I went on to build particle detectors at Los Alamos.

Everything was going pretty well before the Korean War if you think about it and know your history.

Santa Fe.
Underrated area of the country. I still have property east of Albuquerque, in the Cibola National Forest at 7000 ft. Near a highway that is a straight shot to Santa Fe. An easy 40 minute drive and one of the most beautiful, scenic drives in this country.
Northern New Mexico is awesome.

Stupid does not equal thinking that an 81 year old who can barely walk and speak, AND who you haven't seen in a week or two is in critical shape. Thats common sense bro

But he's SO much smarter than all us that he won't even think about it or question anything until MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS tell him about it. For him, the super smart one here, nothing is true until they tell him it is.

Ugh. My mom’s #1 source for news is The View. I’ve seen her turn from a quiet, apolitical caregiver into a rabid lib filled with hate, unable to hold her tongue. She told me she was so excited to see “Kamala tear Trump to pieces because she is a lawyer and clearly an intellectual” The past 10 years have been heart wrenching to watch.
