Rural vs. Urban, Uneducated vs. Educated, Colored vs. White, Rich vs. Poor, Capitalists vs. Socialists, Character Matters vs. Not, Religious vs. Not, Human Rights vs. Not
4 November 2020, Americans awoke, staring themselves in their faces, seeing who and what they are. The divisions are real, and the lines are drawn.
Now might be the last time that this political analyst and independent journalist addresses American politics. The reason being that I have exhausted my contribution in the forms of:
How to Select an American President by James A. George and James A. Rodger (c) 2017 Archway Publishing
Regenerating America with Sustainable Economics by James A. George and James A. Rodger (c) 2017 Archway Publishing
Smart Data, Enterprise Performance Optimization Strategy by James A. George and James A. Rodger (c) 2010 Wiley Publishing
My analysis of the audience is that one half of Americans could find value from these works. One half doesn't read books. Of the non-readers, one half are ignorant to the point of being nearly illiterate. Can these generalities be proven?
According to Pew Research, "Roughly a quarter of U.S. adults (27%) say they haven't read a book in whole or in part in the past year," and that includes print and digital media.
"The highest percentage of readers by age was 88 percent, among the 18-24 age group, followed by 86 percent in the 16-17 range. Readers in the 30-39 group were a close third at 84 percent. The lowest percentage of readers was among people older than 65, at 68 percent."
Fifteen percent of the U.S. population has specific reading disorders.
Forty-six percent of American adults can't understand the labels of their prescriptions.
Fifty percent of U.S. adults are unable to read a book at an eighth-grade level.
Forty-two percent of college students never read another book after they graduate.
Eighty percent of U.S. families did not buy a book this year.
Fifteen percent of inmates in prisons and jails are literate. (Note: 15 percent are literate, not illiterate.)
My conclusion is that Americans are too stupid to support a democratic republic; thus, they vote for authoritarians.
