Ah, so your priority is that you don't like the voting results of your fellow citizens. We need to address their ignorance (as well as your distaste for it... and mine) instead of declaring them unworthy of their franchise.

We have let the few create the knowledge that leads to votes. At one time this was necessary: distribution of information cost money, so those with money could control the information. Now those with money control the spin of information using the older psychological tools along with newer technological tools.

We need to teach people how propaganda works.

Fear of the ill-educated does not mean they can be repressed -- that treats the problem as inherent instead of a result. It's the obligation of those that "get it" to get more of them to get their own addiction to valid information. Those that can teach, should teach and should get the chance to do it.

Sure, many people do not want to teach or are bad teachers. It was an example.

I guess you should ask yourself: if you want to leave so bad, where will you go that will accept you and won't have the same problem? Frankly, the Information Age has flushed a lot of dumb people out of the bushes and into the chat rooms. They aren't just an American problem: they are a density problem.
